Biopsies of Suspicious Lesions
When you find a mole, bump, rash, or another lesion you’re concerned about on your skin, a biopsy is often the best way to ease your mind or determine the best possible course of treatment. Biopsies take place right in our office and are usually done in 15 to 30 minutes. Local anesthesia will keep you comfortable and allow you to safely drive yourself home after your visit.

Photodynamic therapy (sometimes called “blue light therapy” or “PDT”), is a noninvasive procedure that addresses a range of skin conditions. It utilizes a photosensitizing agent (aminolevulinic acid or ALA) and a light source (Blu U) in order to treat conditions from inflammatory acne to precancerous lesions.

A Few Medical Dermatology FAQs
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: Yes, we accept insurance for medical dermatology patients. Learn more about the insurances we accept.
Q: How much do medical dermatology appointments cost?
A: If you have insurance, we will bill through your insurance and you will only pay your copay. Most copays range from $20 to $100. Those paying without insurance are charged a $200 consult fee for their appointment.
Q: Is there a difference between a dermatologist and a medical dermatologist?
Dermatologists are trained and experienced in the medical care of the skin, hair, and nails. They focus on diagnosing and treating medical conditions such as eczema, skin cancer, and acne. “Dermatologist” is an abbreviated name for a “medical dermatologist.” Cosmetic dermatologists are trained in medical dermatology and focus on cosmetic skin treatments such as laser treatments, BOTOX®, and microneedling.
Q: How often should I see a dermatologist?
A: It’s recommended you visit a dermatologist once a year for an annual skin screening to check for any suspicious moles or areas of concern. However, you can and should visit a dermatologist at any time if you face issues such as acne, rashes, infections, suspicious lesions, and other concerns that give you pause about your skin.
Q: Is my skin bad enough to see a dermatologist?
A: If you have a skin condition that is causing you discomfort, making you self-conscious or concerned, or has suddenly developed, it’s a good time to get a professional diagnosis, especially if the condition persists after you have tried treating it on your own.
Q: Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
A: Most patients do not need a referral to visit The Clinic for Dermatology & Wellness. However, some health plans require a referral for specialty care. If you are unsure if your health plan requires a referral, please call us at (541) 200-2777 and our front desk can assist you.
