Why is skin care important?

Your skin is the largest organ of the body. As you get older, your skin’s tone and texture can change drastically, especially if you’re not caring for it properly.

Untreated skin conditions can also cause lasting damage to your skin that affects its overall health and appearance.

The skin care services available at Heart Healthy Family Practice address various skin issues that affect your physical health and self-confidence. The team recommends skin care routines to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin.

When should I schedule a skin care consultation?

Heart Healthy Family Practice offers skin care services for adults and adolescents aged 12 and up. The team can diagnose and treat a variety of acute and chronic skin conditions, including:

• Acne
• Infections
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Hives and rashes

You should schedule a skin evaluation if you have any of these conditions and can’t manage your symptoms. The team also recommends routine screenings for skin cancer, especially if you have a family history of cancer or other risk factors.

If you want to address wrinkles, creases, and other age-related skin issues, you can schedule a consultation to determine whether you’re a candidate for microneedling or other aesthetic treatments.

What happens during a skin care consultation?

During your initial skin care consultation at Heart Healthy Family Practice, the team reviews your personal and family health histories and your existing health. They also complete a comprehensive skin exam to check for early signs of cancer and other skin conditions.

If visiting the office for an acute or chronic skin condition, the team may order blood testing or other diagnostic tests to identify its cause. They create a treatment plan using natural products or prescription medications to clear acne, infections, or other skin conditions.

The skin care specialists also offer resources that help you care for your skin properly. They can recommend high-quality sunscreens, cleansers, moisturizers, and other products that nourish and protect your skin from damage.

If you’re interested in microneedling or other aesthetic services, your provider can discuss which treatment is best for you based on your goals.
