If you are bothered by skin problems caused by sun exposure, acne, or the aging process, you should consider seeing a dermatologist who can professionally diagnose and treat your condition. Many times, the decision to see a dermatologist comes down to what kinds of treatments they offer.
Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is an effective treatment choice if you are dealing with enlarged pores or dull skin tone. The outermost layer of your skin, medically known as the stratum corneum, contains dead skin cells that can build up on the surface of your skin, dulling your complexion. This material normally sloughs off to allow room for developing skin cells to mature and rise to the surface. When it builds up, it can really dull your complexion. Chemical peels can be used to remove dead skin cells found on the surface of your skin.
Skin Cancer Detection
If you have noticed recent changes in an existing mole, such as a change in size, shape, color, or sensation, you should definitely make an appointment with our dermatologist right away. Although these changes are typically benign, they can also indicate the presence of skin cancer, a serious disease.
The good news is that skin cancer is almost always curable when detected early before it has a chance to spread internally. That is why it is important to periodically check yourself for any changes in your skin.
