Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Eli Saleeby:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. They are crucial in preventing, detecting, 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 as a vital preventive measure. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Saleeby 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+ plus seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are simple habits for lifelong skin health. These steps can significantly lower your risk of skin cancer.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles, smoothing dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding triggers, and using prescription medications from Dr. Saleeby's office at the first sign of a flare can prevent worsening.

Can you treat warts?

Yes, warts are common skin infections caused by a virus. While some resolve on their own, Dr. Saleeby can treat persistent warts with effective in-office procedures like cryotherapy to prevent spreading or pain.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

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