Our plastic surgeon, Dr Craig Layt, recently co-authored an article that has been published in the prestigious Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology! The article, entitled “Limited dilute lidocaine anesthesia: A useful technique with many practical applications”, discusses the results and conclusions of a study designed to determine the potential advantages of utilising a specific local anaesthesia technique in certain types of cellulite reduction procedures. Dr Layt and his co-author, Dr Jeremy B. Green, found that using a limited dilute lidocaine anaesthetic technique allowed for an efficient procedure without excessive discomfort for patients. They also concluded that the technique may be advantageous for a variety of other dermatologic procedures, including laser therapy, tattoo removal, and Mohs surgery.
Dr Layt’s clinical research continues to help propel the plastic surgery and aesthetic enhancement fields forward, with the ultimate goal of making treatments more comfortable and effective for patients.
