Covington, LA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/18/2015 -- According to a study released in conjunction by the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and the Laser and Skin Cancer Center of Indiana in Carmel, Indiana, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of procedures performed and patient demand for dermatologic health care since 2000. The results, which were recently reported in Dermatologic Surgery, coincides with the growth in the age of individuals between the ages of 40–55 who make up a good portion of the baby boomer generation.

This significant increase came as no surprise to Dr. Erik Soine, a dermatologist covington la, who said his practice his increased significantly in recent years made up of patients of all ages, but definitely with more than a few from the baby boomer generation. Says Dr. Soine, "Many people visit Soine Dermatology & Aesthetics for skin cancer screenings, troublesome dry skin and even excessive sweating, so it's no surprise to see this as a trend across the country."

With a practice specializing in both medical dermatology as well as cosmetic dermatology, the doctor and his staff treat a number of different maladies. Dr. Soine concurs, stating, "In addition to skin cancer treatments, we've seen an increase in the number of people who want to attack issues such as crow's feet, wrinkles and other aging concerns. With today's technology, we can restore that healthy glow to a person's skin. In the space of just a few convenient appointments, our patients can see the years being erased from their appearance. Not only do they feel better about how they look, but they'll also have the healthier, glowing skin they used to take for granted."

Another advantage, says Dr. Soine, of having treatments done in a dermatologist's office is that each state-of-the-art treatment has undergone significant scientific research to ensure safety. "Unlike plastic surgery, these procedures are minimally invasive and require little or no down time. Examples we routinely handle in our office include injectables and fillers, wrinkle treatments and chemical peels."

Laser treatments are another fast growing alternative to cosmetic surgery. Dr. Soine explains why this type of treatment has become so popular in his office. "If you have unwanted hair, crow's feet or age spots, a laser skin treatment may be the ideal choice. We currently use the latest innovations to treat common skin care concerns. Truly, there's no end to the beneficial effects that can be achieved with laser skin treatment."
