Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Roberts:
- 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. Roberts.
- 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 can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Roberts offers 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. These treatments can help address sun spots and uneven skin tone.
- 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 facial fullness and smooth static wrinkles.
- What should I look for when checking my own moles at home?
- When checking moles at home, look for asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven color, a diameter larger than a pencil eraser (6mm), or any changes in size, shape, or color (evolving moles). If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Roberts.
- 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. It's a crucial tool for accurately diagnosing skin conditions.
- 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. Roberts 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.
