MedEsthetic Mag Talks With Dr. Green About Holistic Dermatology

The beauty industry is shifting toward a more holistic, preventative approach to aesthetics, where treatments are less invasive and more focused on long-term maintenance rather than dramatic correction. Demand for facial procedures has risen significantly, with non-invasive options now accounting for the vast majority of treatments. Patients—especially younger ones—are increasingly opting for subtle “tweakments” like laser facials, RF sculpting, and neuromodulators that offer minimal downtime and natural-looking results. This reflects a broader change in mindset: instead of preparing for one-off events, clients are committing to ongoing care, much like routine wellness appointments, while also integrating internal health factors like hormones, nutrition, and stress management into their beauty routines.

Advances in science and technology are supporting this shift, with growing interest in ingredients like peptides, exosomes, and PDRN, as well as device-driven treatments that stimulate collagen and improve skin quality with less disruption. However, experts emphasize the importance of safety and informed care. As Dr. Michele Green notes, “While these treatments are gaining popularity, it is important to note that certain peptides are FDA-approved, whereas exosomes and PDRN are not FDA-approved.

However, when seeking skin care treatments, it is always best to consult a board-certified dermatologist to ensure safety and efficacy. Dr. Green also highlights the broader cultural movement toward natural results and the preference of that versus looking too “enhanced.”
