Frequently Asked Questions

During a full-body skin exam, a dermatologist examines the skin from head to toe, looking for any lesions, discolorations, or irregular moles that may indicate early skin cancer. These exams are especially important for people with a history of sun exposure or a family history of melanoma. Our dermatologists in Lincolnshire and Glencoe encourage routine screenings as part of preventive skin health.

Any mole that begins to change, whether in color, size, shape, or sensation, should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Warning signs can be subtle, and early evaluation is key in identifying potential skin cancers. We serve patients across the Chicagoland area including Glencoe, Northbrook, Arlington Heights, and other nearby suburbs who are concerned about new or changing moles.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a targeted treatment that uses a light-activated medication to destroy abnormal skin cells. It’s often used for conditions like actinic keratoses or resistant acne. PDT offers a non-surgical alternative for patients who want to address these concerns with minimal downtime.

Yes, dermatologists are trained not only in diagnosing skin conditions but also in cosmetic procedures like Botox and dermal fillers. Their medical background helps ensure that injections are performed safely and strategically, based on facial anatomy. Patients from Vernon Hills to Glenview often choose our clinic for their aesthetic treatments because of our expertise and individualized approach.

 A dermatologist with specialized training in laser resurfacing can evaluate your skin condition and explain the distinctions between CO2RE and Fraxel. CO2RE typically addresses deeper skin issues such as wrinkles and scarring, while Fraxel is suited for surface-level concerns like sun spots or uneven tone. The right choice depends on your skin type, goals, and how much downtime you can accommodate. At our offices in Lincolnshire and Glencoe, providers offer both technologies and guide patients through each option with care and expertise.
