Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Kim:
- 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. Kim.
- 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 a skin biopsy? Does it hurt?
- A skin biopsy is a simple in-office procedure where a small sample of skin is removed for testing. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic, so you should only feel a small pinch. It's a crucial tool for accurately diagnosing skin conditions.
- 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 (changes in size, shape, or color). If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Kim.
- Do you treat conditions related to hair loss?
- Yes, dermatologists are specialists in hair and scalp disorders. Dr. Kim 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 is the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers?
- Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles causing wrinkles like frown lines and crow's feet. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore fullness, smooth out static wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
- 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 cancer layer by layer and examines it under a microscope, ensuring all cancer cells are removed while sparing healthy tissue. This technique has a high cure rate.
- 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, offering treatments often more effective than over-the-counter options.
