Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
ACNE EVALUATION
An acne evaluation assesses severity, type, and underlying causes of acne vulgaris to design personalized interventions aimed at reducing active breakouts and preventing scarring complications effectively.
MOLE MAPPING
Mole mapping involves systematic photographic documentation of all existing moles on the body for ongoing comparison. This aids in early identification of new or changing lesions that could signify melanoma development.
- Candidacy: Especially recommended for individuals with multiple moles, fair skin types, family history of melanoma, or atypical nevus syndrome;
- The procedure: High-resolution images capture comprehensive views from multiple angles creating a baseline record;
PHOTOTHERAPY
This treatment uses controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light to treat various chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema. It modulates immune activity in affected skin regions effectively.
- Diseases treated: Suitable for conditions like psoriasis plaques, vitiligo, lichen planus, and atopic dermatitis resistant to topical therapies.
- Treatment process: Patients undergo scheduled sessions where UVA or UVB light doses are carefully calibrated based on skin type and severity of lesions.
- Efficacy & safety: Offers symptom relief including reduced scaling and itching; side effects may include mild redness but long-term monitoring minimizes risks like photoaging or carcinogenesis.
This modality provides an important alternative when medications alone do not yield sufficient control of persistent dermatological diseases.
PATCH TESTING
Patching testing identifies allergens responsible for allergic contact dermatitis by exposing small skin areas to various substances. This helps pinpoint specific triggers causing skin reactions.
- Symptoms/causes: Persistent itchy rash or eczema at particular sites like hands or face may indicate allergic contact dermatitis needing testing.
- Diagnostic process: Small patches containing different allergen extracts are applied on the back for 48 hours, followed by assessment of skin reactions over several days.
- Treatment/management: Knowing allergens allows targeted avoidance strategies, reducing flare-ups substantially.
- What to expect: Mild redness or irritation can occur around tested areas but symptoms generally subside quickly after patch removal and follow-up visits confirm results.
Patching testing remains the gold standard for diagnosing allergy-related dermatologic issues with minimal risk involved.
DERMATOSCOPY
Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive technique that enhances visualization of skin surface structures not visible to the naked eye. It aids early detection of malignant and benign lesions.
- Symptoms/causes: Used primarily for assessing moles, freckles, and any pigmented lesions showing changes over time.
- Diagnostic use: A handheld device called a dermatoscope magnifies and illuminates the skin, helping differentiate between harmless and potentially cancerous spots immediately.
- Treatment/management: Results assist in deciding whether observation or biopsy is necessary.
- What to expect: The examination is painless, quick, and can often prevent unnecessary biopsies by providing more precise visual information.
This method significantly improves accuracy in diagnosis while being patient-friendly and efficient for routine dermatologic evaluation.
SKIN BIOPSY
A skin biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate suspicious skin lesions or rashes. It involves removing a small sample of skin tissue for microscopic examination.
- Symptoms/causes: Unexplained moles, persistent rashes, or growths that change in appearance may require a biopsy to rule out malignancy or infections.
- Diagnosis: The removed tissue is sent to a pathology lab to analyze cellular details under a microscope.
- Treatment/management: Local anesthesia is used for comfort during the procedure; stitches may be needed depending on the size of the sample.
- What to expect: Mild discomfort and minor scarring are common; healing typically completes within 1-2 weeks with proper care.
This procedure is an essential tool to accurately identify skin conditions and guide further treatment decisions with confidence.
