Frequently Asked Questions

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in skin, hair, and nail health. You should see a dermatologist if you have persistent skin conditions, unusual moles, acne, hair loss, eczema, psoriasis, or signs of aging. They also help diagnose and treat skin cancer and offer cosmetic procedures like Botox, fillers, and laser treatments.

Your first visit will typically involve a skin examination where the doctor checks for rashes, moles, or problem areas. They’ll ask about your medical history, skincare routine, and any concerns you have. If necessary, they may perform biopsies, prescribe medications, or recommend treatments for specific conditions.

Dermatologists offer various treatments for acne and scarring, including:

  • Topical and oral medications to reduce breakouts
  • Chemical peels to remove dead skin and improve skin texture
  • Laser therapy to reduce acne scars and pigmentation

Microneedling to stimulate collagen production

Yes! If you’re experiencing thinning hair, bald spots, or excessive shedding, a dermatologist can identify the cause and recommend treatments like medications, PRP therapy, or laser hair stimulation. Hair loss can be genetic, stress-related, or due to medical conditions like hormonal imbalances.

A basic dermatology consultation ranges from $100 to $300, but insurance often covers visits for medical concerns like skin cancer checks, eczema, and acne treatments. Cosmetic procedures (Botox, fillers, laser treatments) are usually not covered by insurance.
