Skin is the
largest, and the most visible organ of the body.
It protects the body from the environment,
regulates temperature, and wards off infections.
The skin is also one of the most important
components of an individual's physical appearance.
This is why individuals with skin disorders
can experience considerable psychosocial rejection, leading to severe
social
impacts on patients.
Because skin is an external organ it is exposed to multiple harmful substances in the environment. Chronic sun damage can lead to aging appearance of skin and development of skin cancers, which is the most common form of cancer in humans. Certain individuals are at higher risk for skin cancers because of their genes, lifestyle or the color of their skin. We specialize in treatment of multiple skin, hair and nail disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis, and offer skin cancer screening to all of our patients. In addition we provide treatments geared towards cosmetic enhancement of appearance. We encourage you to ask questions so you can make an educated decision about your skin care. |
