Treatments
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Evidence supports PRP therapy as a promising treatment option to stimulate new hair growth, thicken thinned out hair, and make hair transplants grow thicker and healthier.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is abnormal, accelerated growth of skin cells. If you discover your skin cancer in its early stages, you have a high chance of a full recovery. For this reason, you should know what to look for and check yourself regularly for signs and symptoms.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is one of many available treatments for certain types of skin cancer. Upon getting a skin cancer diagnosis, you may have feelings of fear or uncertainty about the next steps.
PDT (Photo Dynamic Therapy)
Photodynamic therapy is a treatment for cancer that uses a combination of medications and high-intensity light, like lasers, to kill cancerous cells. During a photodynamic therapy treatment at Petrin Dermatology, you receive a special light-sensitive medication that your cells readily absorb. For skin cancer, the medication comes in the form of a topical cream.
Acne
Acne is a highly common skin condition that causes you to break out in cysts, blackheads, whiteheads, and other oily or irritated skin bumps. These blemishes appear when the pores in your skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Soon, bacteria accumulate in the clogged pore and make it swollen and inflamed.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a noncontagious immune system disease that causes skin flare-ups to appear on and off throughout your life. The patches of scaly skin associated with psoriasis appear because the condition speeds up the life cycle of your skin cells. As your cells die, they build up on the surface of your skin. The patches are itchy and often painful.
Eczema
Eczema, also called dermatitis, is a type of skin irritation that flares up intermittently over the course of your life. While children get flare-ups more often than adults, eczema can affect you at any age. It’s most common on your hands because you use them often, and it’s hard to protect them from irritants.
Laser Treatments
Dermatologists are increasingly implementing the use of lasers to help improve patients’ skin and achieve a variety of clinical and cosmetic goals. The team at Petrin Dermatology provides laser treatments with two industry-leading laser devices.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a treatment for your skin that evenly removes the top layer of damaged and dead skin cells and prompts a fresh layer of cells to form. Used for more than 100 years, the procedure alleviates blemishes, improves your skin’s tone and texture, and even provides a tightening effect for your skin.
Exilis Elite
Exilis Elite is a state-of-the-art energy treatment device that the team at Petrin Dermatology uses for skin tightening. The device includes two handpieces: one for facial treatments and one for body treatments. The Exilis Elite delivers radiofrequency energy combined with ultrasound energy and a soothing cooling effect to the skin in your specified treatment areas.
Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin disease characterized by the loss of skin pigment in blotches. If your skin starts to lose its color on any part of your body, you might have the condition. It’s impossible to predict the rate at which your skin will lose its color and how much of your body the condition will affect.
Palomar Icon Laser
The Palomar Icon is a laser by Cynosure® that has numerous settings to make a multitude of skin-related cosmetic enhancements. Your provider at Petrin Dermatology discusses your goals with you and chooses the appropriate wavelength for the laser to target a certain cell type or tissue layer.
