Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Jessica NPC:
- 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. Jessica NPC.
- 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. Jessica NPC offers various effective options to improve sun damage and pigmentation, including prescription lightening creams (like hydroquinone), chemical peels, and laser or light therapies (like IPL/photofacials). These treatments can significantly improve skin tone and clarity. A consultation can help determine the best course of action for your specific needs.
- Do you treat conditions related to hair loss?
- Yes, hair loss conditions are a core part of dermatology. Dermatologists are specialists in hair and scalp disorders. Dr. Jessica NPC can diagnose the underlying cause of hair loss, from genetics to medical conditions, and recommend appropriate treatments, including prescription medications or other therapies.
- 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, and any changes in size, shape, or color (the ABCDEs of melanoma). If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Jessica NPC.
- 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 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 lost fullness, smooth static wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
- 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. Jessica NPC can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures.
