Many dermatology centers don't just limit themselves to the treatment of skin; they also provide treatment options for the hair and nails. After all, the materials making up all three are closely related, so it makes sense to treat them all in one environment.

Did you know that one in five people can expect to get some form of skin cancer in their lifetime? Fortunately, a new treatment called Mohs Micrograph Surgery can help. Layers of skin in a suspect lesion are removed and examined one after another until no cancer cells are found. This leaves as much of the original tissue as possible, so the cosmetic impact is minimized.

Most dermatology centers recommend an occasional full-body dermatological examination, so that the experts can check your skin health from head to toe. If your family has a history of skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma, you should schedule full-body exam yearly.
