Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Elise Weinrich:

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Weinrich and our team are dermatologists, medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. We play a vital role in preventing, detecting, and treating 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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Weinrich may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing are simple habits that contribute to lifelong skin health and help prevent skin cancer. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial.

I'm experiencing hair loss. Can a dermatologist help?

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Weinrich 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.

Can you treat warts?

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Weinrich's approach to chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, including topical steroids, moisturizers, and phototherapy, as well as advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. Individualized plans are developed to address specific needs and symptoms.

What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to remove certain types of skin cancer, most commonly on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to a higher cure rate and a smaller scar.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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