Skin Cancer
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center talk
about the most common form of cancer in the US - Skin Cancer! At least 1.2
million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed every year. The most common form of
skin cancer is basal cell carsenoma, followed by sqamous cell, and finally, the
most lethal, melanoma. Warning signs include small spots that change size or
texture, or even bleed. Red scaled areas are also dangerous. The symptoms of
melanoma include any changes in a previously existing mole or spot. With early
detection, treatment is available for all forms of skin cancer.

Botox
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center dispell
the myths about botox. Botox is purified protein derivitive that is processed
to make it safe for human use. When done by an experienced injector, botox does
not “freeze” your face. Botox is used for both medical and cosmetic procedures.
In cosmetic situations, the muscles are simply relaxed to create a more
pleasant, youthful appearance. The effects last about 3-4 months. Botox is both
preventative and corrective.

Good Skin Care
It’s never too late to start a good skin care for life! A good
skin care system starts with a hydrolic acid cleanser. This improves the texture
and clarity of the skin. The most important thing you can put on your skin
during the day is sunscreen. SPF 30 or higher is recommended, and be sure that
it covers both UVB and UVB. In the evening, the most important skin cream is a
retinoid or retin-A; this helps reduce some of the signs of sun damage.

Acne
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center define
acne and outline the most effective treatments available. Acne is an infection
that results from plugged pores in the skin. Acne affects both teenagers and
adults! Park Cities Dermatology Center
is on the cutting edge of acne treatment with their new Isolaze acne therapy.
The Isolaze cleans pores by a combination of suction and light. The treatments
can be done every two to four weeks. PCDC has the only Isolaze treatment
therapy in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. A treatment such as Isolaze is an
alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of acne.

Controlling Bad Acne
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center discuss
ways to control bad acne. Stress can be the cause of acne, so when an important
event is around the corner and a big zit shows up, PCDC can help get rid of
that unsightly zit within 24 hours! This is achieved by injecting a tiny drop
of medicine directly into the zit. This is called an introlesional injection,
and can be combined with other treatments to reduce acne problems as quickly as
possible. To prevent bad acne, it is important to see a doctor as soon as signs
appear. Without the proper treatment, acne can cause scars. Typical acne
therapy includes: glycolic acid cleanser, benzoyl peroxide, retinoid, oral
antibiotics, and surface light chemical peels. Additional therapies such as
light treatments to decrease bacteria, Isolaz treatments, oral birth control
pills, aldactone or spironolactone, and accutane can also be prescribed.

Improving Your Skin in the New Year
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center tell us
how to avoid the wear and tear that the holidays can induce upon skin. Quick
fixes for skin include a light chemical peel to restore youth, photo facial to
lighten brown spots, botox to minimize lines, and filler agents to plump the
lips and add softness to the face. All of these procedures are completely
healed within four days. A new year is a great time to get a skin exam done, as
well. Knowing your skin is the most important step in defending yourself from
skin cancer.

Filler Agents
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center introduce
all the newest filler agents. Fillers such as Juvederm and Restilane contain
familiar acids that the body naturally absorbs over time. Some of the others
may not be absorbed as quickly by the body and therefore last longer, though
they are just as safe. Fillers serve as a catalyst for the body’s own collogen
production! The filler Radius can actually be used to build cheek bones. Any of
these procedures can be done in about an hour.

Rosacea
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center discuss
the treatments available for those suffering from rosacea. Rosacea is an
inflamatory condition that results in broken blood vessels, bumps, and red
rashes. Though the exact cause of rosacea is not known, many triggers exist.
Many treatments are available such as antibiotics, topical creams, sulfer
containing compounds, laser therapies, and additional anti-inflamatory
therapies.

Spider Veins
Dr. Adler and PA Witten of Park Cities Dermatology Center explain
how to combat those nasty spider veins. Spider veins are small vessels,
generally on the legs, that serve no purpose; they are caused by genetics,
excessive weight, pregnancy, and tramatized skin. Sclerotherapy is a treatment
where Dr. Adler injects a solution into the blood vessel, making the vessel
collapse, and eventually disappear. Maintaining proper weight and exercising
help to keep the blood vessels normal.
