Having healthy skin isn’t just something you’re born with or something you can figure out through watching a lot of TikTok. In many cases, people need the help of dermatology professionals in order to get the best options for their skin health.
At Colorado Skin Care, we understand that getting healthier skin is a process. Kimberly Stone, MD, knows different treatments are effective for different individuals, and what threatens your skin health may be different than what your best friend is dealing with. Let us give you the lowdown on some of our best treatments for skin health and how they may be able to help you.
Many people worry that acne is a sign of unclean skin, but this isn’t true. Yes, one of the causes is bacteria, but hormones, heredity, and medications can all affect whether or not you’re likely to develop persistent and painful acne. In addition, acne can affect the mental well-being of some individuals, which can also be an aspect of having and maintaining healthy skin.
Here at Colorado Skin Care, we treat acne in a number of ways, from topical treatments to antibiotics to hormonal therapies. Microneedling is a great treatment for acne scarring, which can also cause self-esteem issues. There are many options for this skin problem, and we’re happy to discuss a treatment plan that will take all your needs into account.
Eczema is a skin condition that causes red, itchy patches. While some people only experience it as children, others may experience it as adults, creating not just discomfort and self-esteem problems, but also issues for overall skin health.
We offer a number of treatments for eczema, including mild options like moisturizers to stronger ones like prescription medications, antihistamines, and corticosteroids. There may also be in-office treatments, like IPL, that can help minimize the effects of eczema. These types of treatments can compound over time to give you healthier, smoother-looking skin.
Like most of the other conditions mentioned here, skin tags aren’t inherently a sign of unhealthy skin, but many people are uncomfortable or concerned about them. In addition, some people try to remove skin tags themselves, which can cause serious health problems.
Instead, we recommend visiting us for one of the many options we offer to remove skin tags safely and effectively. These may include excision, ligation, cryotherapy, or cauterization. We’re happy to discuss each option with you to determine which will be healthiest and safest for you.
Skin cancer is a serious issue that affects more people than you may realize. It’s actually more common than any other type of cancer in the United States, and making sure you get regular screenings for skin cancer is a part of managing your skin health. Our screenings can detect several types of skin cancer and involve a number of steps from examination to diagnosis.
Whether you visit us for an aesthetic treatment or for a health condition, we’re always here to provide you with information about how you can keep your skin healthy year-round. With at-home remedies, in-office treatments, and even prescription medications, we’re always focused on providing you with the best of the best to protect and manage your skin.
We know that getting smoother, younger-looking skin is a goal for many of our patients, and we believe this can be an important part of overall wellness. However, our first goal is always going to be helping you keep your skin healthy. That’s our promise to you.
