Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. McCarty:
- 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. McCarty.
- 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 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, like Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore facial fullness, smoothing out static wrinkles and contouring the face.
- I have acne that isn't responding to over-the-counter products. Can a dermatologist help?
- Yes, dermatologists are experts in treating acne. Dr. McCarty can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures. These options often go beyond what's available over-the-counter.
- 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.
- 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. A local anesthetic numbs the area, so you should only feel a small pinch. This is a crucial tool for accurately diagnosing skin conditions.
- 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 can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. McCarty 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 treatment plan for your specific needs during your consultation.
