Mentors: Lisa R. Jue M.D and Denise Rochester Office Manager, Rejuvenation Clinics of Georgia
I have always been very passionate about Dermatology from a young age because I had skin problems of my own. I would try to improve those issues with recommended solutions that I would see. After that I wanted to help other people that had similar problems as mine. However, I recently became intrigued in Cosmetic Dermatology. I had an opportunity to intern at a private clinic where they practice medical cosmetic services. While interning there I would see that many people would be in pain from their procedures. This is how I was lead to my essential question: How do various types of anesthetic medicine reduce induced pain during cosmetic procedures? Then times I would observe a procedure I would see that some patients asked for numbing cream or laughing gas or even both because some patients could did not deal well with pain. My mentors taught me that every patient has a different pain tolerance so that is why some patients asked for more anesthetic medicine than other patients. During my time at the clinic I only saw only two type of anesthetic medicine; numbing cream and laughing gas. I suggested that the clinic should implement more different types of solutions for the patients, so that in the future the patients can have a much more enjoyable experience.
