Skin Treatments in the Los Angeles Area
If you are interested in dermatology services instead of, or in addition to Los Angeles cosmetic surgery, then Dr. Yoho’s office can provide medical treatments for surface skin problems. The various skin treatments can take care of conditions that range from cosmetic issues like acne to serious health threats such as skin cancer. Some of these skin flaws or conditions include:
- Scars—some scarring can be improved with lasers, dermaplaning, or minor surgical procedures.
- Ingrown toenails—can be fixed with a minor surgery. The surgery and recovery involves very little discomfort and usually no further treatment is needed.
- Skin cancers—lesions must be removed surgically. It is important to take care of moles or other cancerous spots before they can spread. Fortunately, most skin cancers are slow to progress and can be treated by removing the site of cancerous skin cells (mole or other spot). Preventative check-ups and follow-ups with a dermatologist will monitor you for any signs of other growths.
- Brown spots—can be treated to fade these signs of aging and to treat or prevent precancerous areas of the skin.
- Spider veins—these small, threadlike red or purple veins are not a medical problem, but many people find them unsightly. They usually appear on the sides of the nose or the legs, and sometimes on the cheeks, chest, and other areas. They can be treated with injections or lasers.
- Warts—treatment involves a small surgical removal or a topical medication.
- Acne—there are different types of acne, and the same treatments don’t work in the same way on everyone. Dr. Yoho’s office can provide different treatments for both adult and youth acne, offering stronger medications for those whose skin does not respond to lighter treatments.
Many of the skin treatments are very light and involve little to no discomfort. However, when small surgical procedures are involved, patients are glad to be treated at a surgical center like Dr. Yoho’s Pasadena office instead of a regular doctor’s office. This is because patients have the option of light relaxation sedatives in the surgical center. Note that patients who opt for the sedation will need to have someone drive them home after the procedure.
If you have had cosmetic or medical issues with skin conditions, ask at Dr. Yoho’s office about dermatology treatments. You may be treated for these alone, or may decide to take advantage of these treatments while you are having another cosmetic procedure.
Dr. Yoho’s Palmdale and Pasadena offices serve patients in the area of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Lancaster, and Simi Valley. Other patients come in from around the country to be treated at the Pasadena surgical center. Don’t let small skin imperfections affect your self-image. Have them treated at the medical office of Dr. Yoho, and face the world with renewed confidence.
