Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Evans:
- How often should I get a full-body skin exam for skin cancer?
- Most experts recommend an annual professional skin exam. However, 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. Evans.
- 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, including prescribing medication. An esthetician is a licensed skincare professional who provides cosmetic treatments, but cannot diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication.
- 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, ensuring all cancer cells are removed while sparing the maximum amount of healthy tissue. This results in a high cure rate.
- Do you treat conditions related to hair loss?
- Yes, hair loss is a core part of dermatology. Dermatologists are specialists in hair and scalp disorders. Dr. Evans can diagnose the underlying cause of hair loss, which can range from genetics to medical conditions, and recommend appropriate treatments like prescription medications or other therapies.
- 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 border, uneven color, diameter larger than a pencil eraser (6mm), and evolving moles (changes in size, shape, or color). Schedule an appointment with Dr. Evans if you notice any of these signs.
- My skin is very sensitive and often red. Could it be rosacea?
- Persistent redness, flushing, and bumps could be signs of rosacea. Dr. Evans can accurately diagnose rosacea and create a personalized management plan, which may include gentle skincare, prescription creams, and identifying personal triggers.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Evans and our team offer various effective options to improve sun damage and pigmentation. Prescription lightening creams (e.g., hydroquinone), chemical peels, and laser or light therapies (like IPL/photofacials) can significantly improve skin tone and clarity. We will discuss the best course of treatment for your specific needs during your consultation.
- 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 wrinkles.
