You have many choices when choosing a skin specialist. So why should you be our next patient? Dr. Novikov Wellness and Skin Care provides high-quality wound care, skin care and surgical dermatology services to adults of all ages.
Profile of a patient
Patients of a surgical dermatologist typically include individuals who require surgical treatment for various skin conditions. You deserve a provider who has the necessary surgical skills to avoid unnecessary complications. Some common patients who seek the expertise of a surgical dermatologist are:
- Skin cancer patients: Surgical dermatologists specialize in the removal of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
- Benign skin lesion patients: Patients with benign skin growths, such as moles, cysts, lipomas, and skin tags, may seek the services of a surgical dermatologist for their removal. Surgical techniques like excision or cryotherapy (freezing) may be used.
- Scar management patients: Surgical dermatologists can perform scar revision procedures to improve the appearance of scars resulting from injuries, surgeries, or previous dermatological conditions.
- Wound care patients: Chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers (bedsores), diabetic foot ulcers, or venous ulcers, require consistent wound care. These wounds often have difficulty healing due to underlying conditions or impaired circulation, necessitating specialized treatments. Patients with infected wounds, such as abscesses, require wound care to manage the infection effectively. The elderly population is more susceptible to skin breakdown and slower wound healing due to age-related factors. They may require careful wound care to prevent complications and promote healing. Our healing rates are consistently higher in comparison to other providers.
