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 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Wilson may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from sun damage is key to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like daily sunscreen use, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk. These practices are important for lifelong skin health.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth caused by sun exposure. They often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs is crucial for preventing skin cancer, as a small percentage may develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

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

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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

I have acne. Is it something I just have to live with?

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failing. Dr. Wilson can create a personalized treatment plan, which may include topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options, to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence.
