Dermatologists have extensive training, going to school for 12 years or more to learn to diagnose and treat more than 3,000 diseases of the skin, hair, and nails making them skin experts.  These conditions include eczema, psoriasis, and various types of skin cancer, among many others.

A Dermatologist has extensive surgical training when it comes to skin surgeries including doing skin biopsies, removing benign moles, lumps and bumps as well as excising skin cancers.  A Dermatologist considers many factors before determining which treatment will be best for each patient. These factors include the type of skin cancer, whether the cancer has spread, and where the skin cancer appears on the body.

Dermatologists have the training and experience to determine the best treatment for each patient’s unique cosmetic needs to help improve the appearance of the skin and help people to feel and look their best. Dermatologists have pioneered many of the procedures being performed and perfected today.  Patients should always ensure a qualified dermatologist is available to supervise their procedure.
