Beautiful skin needs
a healthy lifestyle and Dr. Gidon strongly urges
patients to use sun protection, not smoke, and have
a well-balanced diet and exercise program. Dr. Gidon
is a skin care specialist and can help with all
your skin concerns.
There is a definite
advantage in seeing a female Dermatologist and having
a feminine point of view. Dr. Gidon can empathize
with patients and understand their busy life-style
and desire to look their best. She knows that many
people would like discrete, subtle changes over
time and would like several small treatments instead
of one major procedure. She is also knowledgeable
about what cosmetic products are available and can
discuss all her patients' concerns in detail. Men
and women often feel vain and guilty about considering
cosmetic procedures, but Dr. Gidon feels it is absolutely
appropriate to want to look and feel your best.
During the initial
consultation, Dr. Gidon asks her patients if they
have any specific concerns. She will address those
concerns and advise them of the potential treatments
or procedures that can be performed to fulfil their
requests. Often, patients do not know what procedures
they would like to have done so Dr. Gidon will assess
them and offer detailed suggestions on what procedures
would be appropriate for them. She will develop
an individualized treatment plan to ensure a patient's
satisfaction.
Dr. Gidon offers many
different procedures to enhance the appearance of
skin. Few people need an extreme makeover. Often,
just "making the best of what you have"
is enough to make someone happy. A small procedure
such as brightening a dull complexion, evening-out
skin pigmentation or softening a wrinkle may result
in enormous satisfaction.
Cosmetic procedures
are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance
Plan. While some procedures are surprisingly inexpensive,
others may be more costly because of the expensive
materials and equipment used. Dr. Gidon ensures
that her patients receive the best value possible.
Dr. Gidon understands
that you have time constraints and she performs
many procedures that do not require recovery time,
so you can resume normal activities immediately
after treatment.
Dr. Gidon is always
honest and forthright with patients. If she does
not think a procedure will help or enhance your
appearance, she will tell you. If you have realistic
expectations, you will be happy and satisfied with
your treatments. It gives Dr. Gidon enormous pleasure
to make someone's skin healthy and beautiful.
