Expert Diagnosis Q & A

Why is having an expert dermatology diagnosis so important?

If you’re having a problem related to your skin, hair, or nails, you need an see an expert for help. Just as you’d want to visit a cardiologist for heart problems, you need an expert dermatologist with specialty training like Drs. Suah and Ehrlich for skin, hair, or nail issues.

Although other doctors sometimes see patients for dermatology issues or provide dermatology treatments, any physician who isn’t a dermatologist doesn’t have the specialty training needed to deal with issues like skin cancer, eczema, acne, and other conditions in the safest and most effective way for you.

Some dermatologists, like Drs. Suah and Ehrlich, have both medical dermatology and cosmetic dermatology training to better serve your needs.

What does medical dermatology include?

In medical dermatology, an expert diagnosis is especially vital. Medical dermatology includes all the skin, hair, and nails conditions and diseases that threaten your health. Some of the many conditions and diseases that medical dermatology encompasses are:

  • Skin cancer
  • Moles
  • Warts
  • Eczema
  • Acne
  • Rosacea
  • Scars
  • Actinic keratosis
  • Excessive sweating, hyperhidrosis
  • Scalp disease and hair loss

Once Drs. Suah and Ehrlich make an accurate diagnosis, they can create a treatment plan to resolve your issues in the quickest and easiest way possible.

What does cosmetic dermatology include?

Cosmetic dermatology includes the aesthetic side of your skin, hair, and nails. Drs. Suah and Ehrlich are highly experienced in many advanced noninvasive cosmetic dermatology procedures, including all of the following:

  • Neuromodulator injectables including Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®
  • Dermal fillers including Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Radiesse®, and Sculptra®
  • Laser treatment for pigmented and vascular lesions
  • Sclerotherapy for vein removal
  • Ultherapy® for skin tightening
  • Chemical peels for anti-aging and skin enhancement
  • KYBELLA® for double chin reduction

As board-certified dermatologists, Drs. Suah and Ehrlich always do a consultation before performing procedures. They make an accurate diagnosis of your concerns and then make sure that you know what to expect from your cosmetic dermatology treatments.

Although many doctors administer aesthetic treatments like Botox, it’s smartest to rely on a board-certified dermatologist who gives you an accurate diagnosis and realistic expectations before expertly performing the injections.
