General Practitioners

• Warts
• Arthritis
  Notice your nails.   If your nails begin to pull away from the nail bed or develop pitting, ridges, or a yellowish-orange color, see a dermatologist.  These are signs of psoriatic arthritis.
• Cryotherapy
  Cryotherapy:  Destroys visible actinic keratoses by freezing them.  The treated skin often blisters and peels off within a few days to a few weeks.  This is the most common treatment.  When the skin heals, you may see a small white mark.
• Primary Care
  Please continue taking blood thinners such as Coumadin or Plavix UNLESS otherwise advised by our office or your primary care physician. Please let our office know if you take antibiotics prior to dental precedures. We will determine if this necessary prior to Mohs Surgery. Please eat a light breakfast the morning of surgery. You should not wear a shirt that needs to be pulled over the head – a button down shirt is preferable. It is important to arrive on time for your appointment – a late arrival could result in cancellation of your procedure. As there will be time spent in the waiting room while we are processing the tissue, you may want to bring a book, magazine and/or companion. There is a television in the waiting room. Please arrange to have someone give you a ride home, as you will not be allowed to drive yourself after surgery.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  For larger varicose veins, radiofrequency may be used instead of stripping. Great advances have been made in the use of ultrasound to guide injection of varicose veins not visible at the skin surface.
• X-Rays
• Chemotherapy
  Skin cancers may be treated by several methods, including surgical removal by excision (cutting away) with or without Mohs technique, and by curettage and electrodesiccation (scraping and burning), X-ray therapy, cryosurgery (freezing), and topical chemotherapy. Your physician’s recommendation for the best approach to treatment is based on the type, size, and location of the tumor, and history of any prior treatment.
• Radiation Therapy
  Radiation Therapy:   Radiation may be used to treat older adults who have a large skin cancer, skin cancers that cover a large area, or a skin cancer that is difficult to surgically remove. Radiation therapy gradually destroys the cancer cells through repeat exposure to radiation. A patient may receive 15 to 30 treatments. This treatment is often only recommended for older adults.  Many years after a person is exposed to radiation, new skin cancer can develop.

Surgeons

• Wound Care
  In many cases, the wound can be simply closed by suturing the edges together, resulting in a linear scar. If the wound is too large to do this, tissue from the surrounding area can be rearranged in order to close the wound. This is called a skin flap, and results in a non-linear scar. Skin grafts, or tissue “borrowed†from other areas, are also used to close wounds that cannot be managed in a simpler fashion. Occasionally, the site will be left to heal by itself, a process known as “healing by granulation†. If the wound is left to heal in this manner, daily bandage changes will be needed for approximately three to four weeks. We also work closely with reconstructive surgeons, and if necessary, they will be called upon to repair the wound. After the procedure, you will be given detailed written wound care instructions. The sutures will need to be removed in about one week.
• Mohs Surgery
  Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialized procedure used to treat certain skin cancers. With the highest cure rate, Mohs Surgery achieves superior cosmetic results. Watch this informative video...
• Reconstructive Surgery
  Without early treatment, the outcome is not as favorable.  Skin cancer can grow deeply.  Removing the cancer can mean removing muscle and even bone.  Reconstructive surgery may be needed after the surgery to remove the skin cancer.  And skin cancer can spread.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX) is purified substances derived from a bacteria that blocks the nerve signals from the brain to the muscle. By injecting very tiny amounts into a specific facial muscle, only the impulse of that muscle will be blocked, causing a local relaxation and weakness. In this way, botulinum toxin acts as a muscle blockade to immobilize the underlying cause of the unwanted lines and prevent “wrinkly” expressions.
• Laser Resurfacing
  Once the muscle is weakened and relaxed, it cannot contract. Since there is no way to make the undesirable facial expression, the lines gradually smooth out from disuse. Other muscles like those needed to raise the eyebrows are not affected, so a natural expression is maintained. Botulinum toxin therapy may be used in combination with other cosmetic skin procedures such as chemical peels, laser resurfacing and wrinkle fillers for optimal results, and to help prevent the formation of new lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin is less useful for the smile lines around the mouth because the muscle action in this area is needed for important functions like eating and talking.
• Dermabrasion
  In the vast majority of cases, the resulting scar is cosmetically pleasing. Any scar may be further touched up and improved with a variety of techniques, such as injections, sanding (dermabrasion), laser, or further surgery. If some of the techniques mentioned would be useful in your case, we will be happy to discuss these with you. Remember, all scars improve with time.

• Lesions
  Adults also develop late-onset acne. Again, women are more susceptible. People who have not had acne for years can suddenly see deep-seated, inflamed pimples and nodules. Even those who have never had acne get late-onset acne. For some women, acne becomes a problem during menopause. Adult-onset acne generally forms on the chin, jawline, and around the mouth. Lesions can appear on the chest and back.
• Chemical Peels
  Chemical Peel:  This is a medical chemical peel.  You cannot get this peel at a salon or from a kit sold for at-home use.  This strong peel destroys the top layers of skin.  The treated area will be inflamed and sore, but healthy new skin will replace it.
• Skin Care

Allergists

• Allergies
  Yes. Restylane has been used safely by dermatologists and plastic surgeons since 1996 worldwide. Because Restylane is non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. There is virtually no risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction. The most commonly reported side effects were temporary redness and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within two to three days.
