    Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Alexander Daoud:

    What is a Dermatologist?
    A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. They play a vital role in preventing and treating skin cancer, and manage a wide range of skin diseases.
    How often should I get a full-body skin exam?
    For average-risk individuals, an annual skin exam is recommended. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Daoud may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.
    What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?
    Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours, along with protective clothing, are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoid tanning beds to further reduce your risk.
    I'm experiencing hair loss. Can a dermatologist help?
    Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Daoud can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of hair loss (alopecia) and recommend effective treatments to prevent further loss and encourage regrowth.
    What kind of laser treatments do you offer?
    Dr. Daoud's practice utilizes various laser treatments for a range of skin concerns. Different lasers are employed to address issues like unwanted hair, rosacea redness, sun damage, age spots, and acne scars. These treatments offer both preventative and restorative benefits.
    How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?
    Dr. Daoud's approach to chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving your quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, from topical medications and moisturizers to advanced biologic therapies that target the underlying inflammation. This personalized approach ensures the best possible outcome for each patient.
    How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?
    Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding known triggers, and using prescription medications from Dr. Daoud's office at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.
    What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?
    Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles. Dermal fillers, like Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore facial contours and fill in static lines.
