Conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea are among the most common reasons patients put off seeking care. Many people assume these are conditions to simply live with, or they try over-the-counter creams for months before asking a specialist. In reality, dermatology providers have access to prescription treatments, procedures and long-term management plans that can bring real relief. Acne, for example, isn’t just a teenage nuisance: it can persist into adulthood and, left untreated, lead to permanent scarring. Eczema and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory conditions that flare and fade, but with the right treatment plan, flare-ups can become far less frequent and severe. Rosacea, which causes facial redness and visible blood vessels, often responds well to both medical management and in-office procedures.
That’s where technology like the V-beam laser comes in. This vascular laser is a go-to tool for treating the redness, flushing and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea, as well as other vascular skin concerns and certain scars. It’s a quick, well-tolerated treatment that can make a noticeable difference for patients who have struggled with persistent facial redness.
Dermatology care isn’t limited to treating skin conditions, either. Many patients are surprised to learn their dermatology provider also offers cosmetic treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers. Because these injectables are administered by providers who spend every day studying the skin’s anatomy and aging process, patients get the added benefit of medical expertise alongside cosmetic results, whether the goal is smoothing fine lines or restoring volume.
At Dermatology Specialists of Florida’s Navarre location, board-certified dermatologist Dr. John H. Phillips III and dermatology-trained physician assistant Lauren Hagen, PA-C, work together as a team to provide general and cosmetic dermatology services. Patients are welcome to see either provider, giving Navarre-area residents a single practice for skin cancer checks, chronic skin condition management and cosmetic care.
If you’ve been managing a skin condition on your own, or you’re curious about the treatments available close to home, it may be worth a conversation with a dermatology provider. Learn more or schedule a visit at mydermspecialists.com/locations/florida/navarre, or call (850) 932-1455.
