• Acanthosis Nigricans: Acanthosis nigricans is a skin condition causing dark, velvety patches, often indicating an underlying health problem, so early detection through regular skin checks is crucial for timely management.

• Juvederm Ultra Plus: Juvederm Ultra Plus is a cosmetic injectable that can help restore a more youthful look to your face, improving your confidence and overall well-being.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Yvette PA:

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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Yvette PA 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+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth often caused by long-term sun exposure, appearing as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs is important, as a small percentage can progress to skin cancer if left untreated.

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

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not something you have to live with. Dr. Yvette PA 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.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure to diagnose a skin lesion. Dr. Yvette PA will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin, which is then sent to a lab for examination under a microscope to provide a definitive diagnosis.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Yvette PA and our team offer various laser treatments for a range of skin concerns. Different lasers can be used to remove unwanted hair, reduce redness, improve sun damage and age spots, and minimize acne scars, providing both preventive and restorative benefits.
