General Skin Health and Preventative Skin Care FAQs
Hair loss can result from genetics, hormones, autoimmune disease, stress, or nutritional factors. Treatment may include topical minoxidil, oral medications like finasteride or spironolactone, steroid injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, or laser devices. We tailor treatment after evaluating your scalp, labs, and history.
Acne is caused by clogged pores, excess oil, bacteria, and hormones. Other contributors include stress, diet, and medications. Our dermatologists identify the acne type—blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, or hormonal acne—and create customized treatment plans.
Look for cleansers with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, paired with an oil-free moisturizer and daily SPF. Prescription treatments may include topical retinoids, antibiotics, or oral medications like isotretinoin for severe acne.
Generally not recommended. Over-exfoliation causes irritation. Sensitive or rosacea-prone skin often requires extra caution.
Limit hot showers, switch to fragrance-free cleansers, and apply thick moisturizers right after bathing (locks in the moisture!). Ointments like Aquaphor or Vaseline work best overnight. A home humidifier can also help reduce winter dryness.
For sensitive skin, Vanicream or CeraVe Cream are excellent. For very dry skin, Aquaphor Healing Ointment works overnight. For oily or acne-prone skin, moisturizers with hyaluronic acid is lightweight and effective
Wear SPF 30+ every day, avoid tanning beds, stop smoking, and use retinoids and vitamin C serums. Regular skin checks and professional treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing can also help maintain youthful skin.
Yes. Diets high in sugar or dairy can worsen acne. Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, walnuts, flaxseed) may help reduce inflammation. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins benefits skin health overall.
No. Any tanning—outdoor or indoor—increases your risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Sunscreen reduces but does not eliminate UV damage.
Not always. Some viral products contain harsh or unsafe ingredients. Always check for dermatologist-recommended brands, and consult us before trying new treatments on your skin.
