Why Experience Matters in Aesthetics: Trust Your Face to True Medical Experts
When it comes to injectables, lasers, and advanced skin treatments, choosing the right provider is one of the most important decisions you can make. These procedures may look simple online or on social media, but in reality, they require extensive medical training, anatomical expertise, and years of hands-on experience.
At Z Dermatology, we believe your face deserves the highest level of care—from licensed medical professionals who understand both the art and science of aesthetics.
The Rise of Aesthetic Options—and Why Patients Need Guidance
Today’s patients have more choices than ever before when it comes to aesthetic services. New practices, med spas, and treatment options continue to open throughout our region, offering a variety of services to meet rising demand.
With so many options available, it’s more important than ever to select providers who have:
- Medical training
- Deep knowledge of anatomy and skin
- Experience managing complications
- A commitment to patient safety
Not all injectors or laser operators have the same level of education or skill. And because these are medical procedures, who you trust matters greatly.
Z Dermatology: A Practice Built on 25+ Years of Medical Expertise
Meet Dr. Ann Zedlitz (“Dr. Z”) — Board-Certified Dermatologist
Before founding Z Dermatology, Dr. Z spent years working as an emergency room physician, gaining invaluable expertise in anatomy, physiology, and medical decision-making under pressure.
She then pursued advanced training in dermatology and has been:
- Board Certified since 2010
- A practicing dermatologist and aesthetic specialist for more than a decade
- A leader in safe, effective injectable and laser techniques
- A trusted physician in Baton Rouge (clinic opened in 2011) and Prairieville (expanded in 2014)
- Her extensive medical background makes her approach both meticulous and deeply informed. Patients choose Z Dermatology because they know they are in trained, medically experienced hands.
Why Experience Matters With Injectables
- Injectables such as neuromodulators and fillers may look straightforward, but they involve:
- Facial anatomy
- Vessel pathways
- Nerve structure
- Proper placement and depth
- Safety protocols
- Artistic judgment
Experienced injectors know how to deliver natural, customized results while minimizing risk. They also recognize subtle early signs of complications—something that requires real medical training.
At Z Dermatology, all injectable treatments are performed by:
Ann Zedlitz, MD, Jennifer Holley, FNP-C, and Jerrica Kitto, PA-C
Each provider:
✔ Is medically licensed
✔ Was personally trained and mentored by Dr. Z
✔ Performs treatments with precision, safety, and aesthetic expertise
Why Experience Matters With Lasers & RF Technologies
Treatments like resurfacing lasers, light-based therapies, and Quantum RF micro-needling require advanced knowledge of:
- Skin biology
- Energy-based devices
- Appropriate settings for different skin tones
- Safety considerations
- Post-treatment recovery
Improper use can lead to burns, pigment changes, or scarring.
This is why physician-led oversight is so essential.
At Z Dermatology, providers follow evidence-based protocols—and every treatment plan is personalized to the patient’s skin type, goals, and medical history.
Your Face Deserves Experience—Not Guesswork
Aesthetic treatments are an investment in your confidence and long-term skin health. Choosing a medically trained provider ensures:
