Geriatric Dermatology

As our skin ages, it loses fat and elasticity, becomes drier, and starts to sag, forming wrinkles. Years of sun exposure causes damage, sometimes invisible or barely visible and sometimes harmful. Our office treats signs and problems associated with aging skin, including:

• Age and liver spots (lentigines)
• Wrinkles
• Telangiectasias (broken capillaries)
• Benign growths such as seborrheic keratoses
• Bruising
• Cherry angiomas
• Assorted skin diseases such as shingles, leg ulcers, seborrheic dermatitis
• Cancerous and pre-cancerous concerns, including actinic keratoses, melanoma, basal and squamous cell carcinomas

Common elective procedures are Botox® injections, laser rejuvenation, and chemical peels.
