Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Ashley Weissman:

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 detecting skin cancer, and managing 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 as a vital preventive measure. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Weissman 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 a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Wearing protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds are also important steps.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic condition causing facial redness, flushing, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying and avoiding personal triggers and using a combination of gentle skincare and prescription medications.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Weissman utilizes various lasers for both preventative and restorative treatments. Different lasers are used to address a range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage and age spot improvement, and acne scar minimization.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, while dermal fillers like Juvéderm® or Restylane® add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths caused by sun exposure. They often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially developing into squamous cell carcinoma.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter greater than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a helpful tool for self-monitoring moles. Recognizing these features can help you identify potential problems early, allowing for prompt professional evaluation and improved treatment outcomes.
