The treatments must be repeated to maintain results.
- Radiation TherapyIf the cancer has spread beyond the skin, there will be more treatment and may include surgery to remove any tumors. Treatment may also involve radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Some patients receive immunotherapy to boost the immune system. If the melanoma is advanced, the patient often receives a combination of these treatments.

- BlepharoplastyDuring the normal aging process, the eyes may be the first region noticeably affected. This is due to the development of saggy, unsupported, fatty tissues which give the eyes a bulging and unattractive appearance (puffy eyes). The upper or lower eyelids can be affected either alone or both sets simultaneously. These unfavorable features can be reversed with blepharoplasty which is, once performed successfully, relatively uncomplicated for the patient. A careful examination in our office is critical in order to decide, with the patient, which particular technique of the eyelid lift procedure is most appropriate.

- LesionsA TCA peel is a medium-depth peel used to remove fine lines, precancerous skin lesions, hyperpigmentation, and refine superficial acne scars. This treatment is performed by a doctor and requires a week at home to heal. The TCA peel is good for acne marks, hyperpigmentation and sun damage. It helps to improve fine lines and wrinkles. First, the Jessner solution is applied, then the TCA solution. This peel can result in moderate discomfort, as the skin will physically peel. For most people, visible peeling starts on days three and four after the TCA solution has had time to work on your skin. However, some people may peel earlier or later.

- AllergiesWith over 30 million Americans demonstrating symptoms, eczema is an issue that dermatologists treat often. While it is prevalent in babies, adults can develop eczema as well. Since there are 11 different types of eczema, a dermatologist will try to pinpoint exactly what is causing symptoms in order to provide the best treatment. A dermatologist will take a close look at the dry and scaly patches and/or rash. They may inquire as to when these symptoms first appeared and whether any blood relatives have eczema, hay fever or asthma. Oftentimes, this is all that is needed to diagnose eczema. If allergy testing is necessary, your dermatologist will inform you.
