Advanced Diagnostic Techniques
At Florida Dermatology & Skin Cancer Centers, we utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure accurate and timely diagnosis of skin conditions. Our dermatologists are equipped with the latest technology and have extensive experience in diagnosing a wide range of skin conditions, including skin cancer.
Some of the advanced diagnostic techniques we employ include:
- Digital Dermoscopy: We use digital dermoscopes to magnify and visualize skin lesions in great detail. This allows our dermatologists to assess the structure and patterns of the lesion, aiding in the early detection of skin cancer and other skin conditions.
- Confocal Microscopy: Confocal microscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the skin. This technology allows our dermatologists to visualize the layers of the skin and diagnose skin conditions with greater precision.
- Patch Testing: Patch testing is a diagnostic procedure used to identify allergens that may be causing skin irritation or allergic reactions. Our dermatologists apply small amounts of potential allergens to the skin and monitor the reaction over a period of time to determine the cause of the allergy.
- Skin Biopsy: In some cases, a skin biopsy may be necessary to obtain a sample of skin tissue for further examination. Our dermatologists perform biopsies using minimally invasive techniques to ensure patient comfort. The biopsy sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine the underlying cause of the skin condition.
By utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques, our dermatologists can accurately diagnose skin conditions and provide patients with the appropriate treatment plan. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for successful treatment outcomes, and we are committed to providing our patients with the best possible care.
Expert Mole Removal
At Florida Dermatology & Skin Cancer Centers, our dermatologists are experts in mole removal, providing safe and effective procedures to address various types of moles, including atypical moles, dysplastic nevi, and suspicious lesions.
We understand that moles can be a concern for both medical and cosmetic reasons. Our dermatologists will thoroughly examine your moles during your consultation, assessing their size, shape, color, and any changes over time. If a mole is suspected to be cancerous or poses a risk of becoming cancerous, our dermatologists will recommend the most appropriate mole removal procedure.
We offer a range of mole removal techniques, including:
- Surgical Excision: This is the most common method of mole removal. Our dermatologists use a scalpel or surgical scissors to remove the mole and a small surrounding area of skin. The wound is then stitched closed.
- Punch Excision: This technique is used for smaller moles. A circular tool is used to remove the mole, leaving a small, round scar.
- Shave Excision: This method is suitable for raised moles. The dermatologist uses a sharp blade to shave off the mole, leaving a shallow scar.
- Laser Mole Removal: Laser therapy can be used to remove moles that are flat and have a darker color. The laser targets the pigment in the mole, causing it to fade and eventually disappear.
Our dermatologists will discuss the mole removal procedure with you in detail, explaining the benefits, risks, and potential side effects. They will also provide post-procedure care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize scarring.
Skin Cancer Screening and Treatment
At Florida Dermatology & Skin Cancer Centers, we prioritize the early detection and treatment of skin cancer. Our dermatologists are highly trained in skin cancer screening and utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to identify suspicious lesions.
Regular skin cancer screenings are crucial for early detection, as skin cancer is highly treatable when caught in its early stages. During a skin cancer screening, our dermatologists will thoroughly examine your skin, paying close attention to moles, freckles, and any changes in the skin's texture or color. If a suspicious lesion is identified, our dermatologists will recommend the appropriate next steps, which may include a biopsy or further evaluation.
If skin cancer is diagnosed, our dermatologists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on the type and stage of skin cancer. We offer a range of treatment options, including:
- Surgical Excision: This is the most common treatment for skin cancer. Our dermatologists use a scalpel or surgical scissors to remove the cancerous lesion and a small surrounding area of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal of the cancer.
- Mohs Micrographic Surgery: This specialized technique is used for certain types of skin cancer, particularly those with irregular borders or located in sensitive areas. Mohs surgery involves removing the cancerous tissue in thin layers and examining each layer under a microscope to ensure complete removal of the cancer.
- Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other forms of radiation to kill cancer cells. This treatment is often used for skin cancer that is difficult to remove surgically or has spread to other parts of the body.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. It is typically used for advanced skin cancer that has spread to other organs.
Our dermatologists are dedicated to providing comprehensive skin cancer care, from early detection to treatment and follow-up. We work closely with our patients to ensure they receive the best possible care and support throughout their journey.
