Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Sadegh Koves:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. They 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Koves 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+ or higher, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are simple habits for lifelong skin health. These preventative measures can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer.

My child has a rash. When should we see a dermatologist?

While many childhood rashes are minor, it's important to see a dermatologist if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever. Conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts are common pediatric concerns that a dermatologist can diagnose and treat effectively.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic condition that causes 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 is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Koves will numb the area and remove a small skin sample. The sample is sent to a lab for examination under a microscope to get a definitive diagnosis.

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.

Can you treat warts?

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