Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Thais Pincelli:

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 critical 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 as a vital preventive measure. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Pincelli 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+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Wear protective clothing and avoid tanning beds to further reduce your risk of skin cancer.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Pincelli utilizes various lasers for a range of skin concerns, from removing unwanted hair and reducing redness from rosacea, to improving sun damage and age spots, and minimizing acne scars. These treatments can be used both preventively and to restore a more youthful and healthy appearance. Different lasers are used depending on the specific skin condition being addressed.

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

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths caused by sun exposure. They often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from developing into squamous cell carcinoma.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, often appears as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is frequently linked to allergies and typically presents as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend appropriate treatment.

Can you treat warts?

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