When To See A Dermatologist

How your dermatologist in McCall, and Nampa, ID, can help your skin

Your skin is important. It protects your vital organs, bones, ligaments, and tendons. It also helps you look your best. Your dermatologist can help you and your skin stay healthy.

Dermatologist Ryan S. Owsley, MD at Comprehensive Dermatology of Idaho provides a wide range of dermatology services. He has two convenient office locations in McCall, and Nampa, ID, to help you.

So, when should you see a dermatologist? These are just a few of the reasons:

• If you are at risk of skin cancer
• If you suffer from stubborn acne
• If you want to investigate anti-aging treatments
• If you want to remove unwanted hair
• If you want to remove an unwanted tattoo

 Your dermatologist can help prevent skin cancer by checking your skin at least once each year. The doctor will check your moles, looking for any abnormalities in size, shape, or color. The mole can be removed and biopsied to check for skin cancer.

Your dermatologist is an expert at treating acne and can help you enjoy clear skin. Antibiotics, laser treatments, tretinoin and topical   products are just some of the ways your dermatologist can help you get rid of acne.

Your dermatologist can help you look younger too, with a variety of anti-aging treatments, including:

• Wrinkle relaxers like Botox
• Dermal fillers like Juvederm, RHA®, Sculptra and Restylane
• Skin resurfacing with microdermabrasion and chemical peels
• Laser treatment to resurface skin

 If you have unwanted hair or an unwanted tattoo, your dermatologist can help with these issues too. Laser treatment can damage the hair follicle, so hair doesn’t grow back. Lasers can also break up pigment in the tattoo, so the tattoo fades away.
