Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Shelley DNP:

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 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. Dr. Shelley DNP may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, to aid in 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 also significantly reduce your risk.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

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.
