Facials
- Medical Facial
A medical facial is an intensive treatment for
clogged pores. Our facial is designed for acne prone, oily and combination
skin types. The facial consists of using a salicylic acid mask and an
exfoliating cleanser that contains papain a papaya extract. This facial
treatment controls acne by gently removing the dead skin cells that clog
pores and cause blackheads and whiteheads. These lead to acne breakouts.
The Facial will refines enlarged pores, improves skin texture and clarity,
and will also control acne.
Microdermabrasion
In addition to the face, microdermabrasion can be successfully used on the
neck, arms and hands. It is also beneficial for patients with darker skin
types. This rejuvenation method is generally indicated for:
- Dull, oily or leathery skin texture
- Contracting enlarged pores
- Exfoliating and suctioning clogged pores in acne cases
- Polishing and reducing fine lines
- Mild acne scarring
- Mild pigment irregularities
- Enhancing penetration of therapeutic agents
Microdermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines, "crow's feet," age
spots and acne scars. It stimulates the production of skin cells and
collagen. Microdermabrasion has proven to be a very popular nonsurgical
cosmetic procedure.
Mole Removal
The majority of moles and other blemishes are benign (not-cancer). A mole
will never be a threat to the health of the person who has them. Spots or
blemishes that warrant medical concern are those that do something out of
the ordinary-those that act differently from other existing moles. This
includes any spot that changes in size, shape or color, or one that bleeds,
itches, becomes painful, or first appears when a person is past twenty.
Occasionally, a mole may become a cancerous growth. Therefore, it's best to
get medical advice if you notice a mole that does not follow the normal
pattern. Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Jaliman may be able to assure
you that the mole is harmless in one simple visit.
The dermatologist will remove the mole, or part of it, so that thin sections
from the mole can be cut and examined under a microscope. This is a simple
and harmless procedure. If the growth was only partially removed and it is
found to be cancerous, then the entire lesion and an extra margin of safety
will need to be removed.
A person may wish to get rid of moles that are in areas of trauma, where
clothing can irritate them, or simply because they are unattractive. The
most common methods of removal include numbing the spot and then shaving the
mole off, or for some moles, cutting out the entire lesion and
stitching the area closed.
The removal of your mole will not leave a scar.
Rashes
Rashes are your body's way of telling you
it really doesn't like something. The most common rashes are a result from
adverse reactions to medications, ingredients in a lotion or shampoo,
metals, or even food.
Unfortunately, some rashes will only go away if treated by your
dermatologist. These type of rashes include severe forms of common rashes
such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea.
Some rashes are chronic, or long-term, requiring regular check-ups to keep
them under control. You should consider seeing Board Certified
Dermatologist, Debra Jaliman if your regular regimen is not working and your
rash simply is not going away.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a facial rash usually composed
of prominent redness and sometimes pimples as well. Rosacea tends to occur
in the central part of the face and around the nose, cheeks, chin and/or
forehead. Long term Rosacea may produce Rhinophyma, an enlarged nose,
typified by W.C. Field’s nose. Dr. Jaliman can treat your rosacea quickly
and easily.
Skin Cancer Detection
Skin Cancer Removal
Skin Tag
Removal
Almost all skin tags are benign, (and ugly). Skin
tag's tend to form along the neckline, under arms, beneath the breasts,
eyelids, and may even arise in the groin. Where there’s one, there’s often
many. These soft, fleshy bumps hang off the skin’s surface by a stalk, hence
the slang “tag” (for medical purists, the term is achrochordon).
Most people hate their skin tags for both the aesthetics as well as the
potential daily irritation they present from friction due to clothing and
jewelry. Usually the worst things that can happen are a bit of local trauma
or falling victim to a necklace, zipper or razor. But why live with them?
Your skin tag(s) can be removed by a dermatologist immediately and
painlessly.
Skin
Infections
Skin problems and skin infections are very common,
some are caused by germs, environmental conditions, or injuries, some are
just from natural body processes as you develop into being an adult. You can
avoid most skin disorders and skin infections but with some you may need to
see a dermatologist.
Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure performed to remove the fine lines
of the face. The skin is often prepared with Retin-A especially if there is
sun damage. Skin resurfacing is also performed after scar revision to smooth
or sand scars and make them appear more even.
The principle of resurfacing the skin is straightforward. Dermabrasion,
chemical peeling and laser resurfacing work in similar ways. The top layer
of the skin is removed and as the new skin grows there are changes in the
remaining skin. Which of these procedures is best for you, depends on
several factors and Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra Jaliman, MD can
discuss them with you.
Sun Damage Treatments
Repeated, prolonged sun exposure
causes skin damage, especially in fair skinned individuals. Sun damaged skin
becomes dry and wrinkled and may form rough, scaley spots called solar
(Actinic) keratoses. These rough spots remain on the skin even though the
crust or scale is picked off. Our sun damage treatment removes these
abnormal cells. New skin then forms from the deeper skin cells that have
escaped damage.
Wart Removal
Self treatment of wart removal is generally
not recommended for any kinds of wart because you may infect the wart even
more. Please see a dermatologist to remove your wart safely and effectively.
Feel free to make a consultation with Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra
Jaliman, MD at her Manhattan, New York City office to discuss any dermatology
questions or treatments which concern you.
