There are quite a few things that Pompano Beach residents can and should be doing at home to protect their skin from the environment. For example, maintaining a proper moisturizing regimen can be very helpful at slowing the aging process and helping your skin look its best. However, if you find your skin has gotten out of hand, a visit to our dermatologist can help stubborn skin conditions improve when at-home treatments fail. Professionals are also needed to screen for the presence of skin cancer, a serious skin disease.
Skin Cancer Screening
Although skin cancer is a dreaded diagnosis, did you know that most skin cancer is highly treatable when detected early? If left untreated, skin cancer can spread to internal organs and eventually prove fatal.
One good way to detect skin cancer early is to familiarize yourself with the condition of your own skin. Before entering or exiting your bath or shower, take a cursory look at your skin and take note of any rapid changes in its condition. If you should note a sudden change in the appearance of a mole, make an appointment with our dermatologist, as this could indicate the development of skin cancer.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that enhance the skin’s volume and hydration. They normally offer significant results that last from several months to a year or two, depending on the filler that is used. At a certain point, the injected substances will require replacing at our office near Pompano Beach to maintain your results.
If you are dealing with both skin thinness and dryness, a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler should suit you. This is because hyaluronic acid is a skin substance that becomes deficient in older people. It has the unrivaled ability to attract and hold many times its own weight in water, which has a plumping and hydrating effect upon your skin.
Laser Treatments
Modern lasers are unmatched in their incredible levels of precision, allowing us to selectively target and remove only unwanted skin tissue, leaving surrounding tissue intact.
