Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Bowers:
- How often should I get a full-body skin exam for skin cancer?
- Most experts recommend an annual professional skin exam. Individuals at higher risk, such as those with a personal or family history of skin cancer, numerous moles, or significant sun exposure, may need to be seen more frequently, as advised by Dr. Bowers.
- What is the difference between a Dermatologist and an Esthetician?
- A dermatologist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who diagnoses and treats all skin, hair, and nail conditions and can prescribe medication. An esthetician is a licensed skincare professional who provides cosmetic treatments, but cannot diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication.
- What is the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers?
- Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles causing wrinkles, while dermal fillers like Juvéderm® or Restylane® add volume to restore fullness and smooth out wrinkles.
- What should I look for when checking my own moles at home?
- When checking moles at home, look for the ABCDEs of melanoma: asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven color, diameter larger than a pencil eraser (6mm), and evolving (changes in size, shape, or color). If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowers.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Bowers offers various effective options to improve sun damage and pigmentation, including prescription lightening creams (e.g., hydroquinone), chemical peels, and laser or light therapies (like IPL/photofacials). These treatments can significantly improve skin tone and clarity. A consultation will help determine the best course of action for your specific needs.
- I have acne that isn't responding to over-the-counter products. Can a dermatologist help?
- Yes, dermatologists are experts in treating all forms of acne. Dr. Bowers can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures.
- Can a dermatologist help with nail problems like fungus or discoloration?
- Yes, dermatologists treat conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. They can diagnose and treat common nail issues like fungal infections, ingrown nails, and psoriasis of the nails, often offering more effective treatments than over-the-counter options.
- What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used for skin cancer?
- Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. The surgeon removes the cancer layer by layer and examines it under a microscope during the procedure, ensuring all cancer cells are removed while sparing the maximum amount of healthy tissue. This technique has a high cure rate.
