Aesthetic Medicine Options for the Skin

The skin is the largest organ in the body, and its principal function is to serve as a defensive barrier for the internal organs, protecting them from injury and shielding them from harsh environmental elements. In carrying out this crucial task, the skin itself is repeatedly exposed to the damaging effects of the environment, and the cumulative impact of this exposure frequently leads to the development of problematic skin conditions, which can detract from the appearance and health of the skin.

As if the environmental threats weren’t enough, the skin must also weather the harmful influences of hormonal changes, genetics, and the natural aging process, all of which can hasten the progression of unwelcome aesthetic changes to the skin. At Fusion Medical Spa, located in Ruidoso, New Mexico, owner and Medical Director Dr. Stephen Rath employs his extensive experience and training in medical aesthetics to help his patients turn back the hands of time with innovative treatment options designed to enhance the condition of the skin.

As a direct result of his ongoing commitment to keeping up with the latest advances in medical aesthetics, Dr. Rath has equipped Fusion Medical Spa with the Icon™ Aesthetic System, the most powerful laser and light aesthetic platform available. The multipurpose Icon™ workstation has revolutionized the way challenging skin conditions are treated, enabling practitioners to address and correct troublesome skin conditions at their source, and to provide optimal results in fewer treatment sessions, and requiring minimal (if any) downtime. Laser-based skin treatments are highly advantageous because they facilitate the performance of precisely targeted procedures, meaning that the adjacent tissue remains unscathed, which allows for an expedited healing process.

It is easy to take the health of our skin for granted, becoming concerned only when our skin begins to show signs of damage, or after the development of a problematic skin condition. Preventative skin treatments can be highly effective in staving off future skin issues, helping to maintain the health and integrity of the skin for many years to come. During your initial consultation, Dr. Rath will create a personalized treatment plan with his professional recommendations as to the products and/or treatments that are best suited to improving the condition of your skin, as well as preventing future skin damage.
