9 Compelling Reasons to Choose a Board-Certified Medical Dermatologist for Your Skin Care Needs
When seeking care for the skin and body, you want a professional with the right skills to help you. Not all skin professionals are the same, so it is strongly encouraged that men and women seek the assistance of a board-certified medical dermatologist when considering the diagnosis and treatment of common skin issues. Dr. Huayi Zhang and her Bluebonnet Dermatology of McKinney, Texas team encourage individuals to consider the benefits of working with a board-certified professional.
1. Expertise and education.
No medical professional completes more training than dermatologists in studying the skin and nails. Before they can begin practicing, dermatologists receive more than a decade of training, including:
- Four years of college to earn a bachelor’s degree.
- Four years of medical school to become a medical doctor.
- A year-long internship.
- Three years of residency, working alongside experienced doctors and completing 12,000 to 16,000 hours of treating patients.
After completing residency training in dermatology, a dermatologist can become board-certified, completing a challenging exam on the knowledge and skills acquired during their years of training. They are required to maintain their board certification through continuing education, which tests their knowledge on the latest advancements in the field of dermatology.
2. Specialization in skin disorders.
While general practitioners may have some knowledge about skin disorders, a board-certified medical dermatologist has dedicated their entire career to studying and treating these conditions. They have an in-depth understanding of different skin types and how various conditions may present differently in each individual. This specialization allows them to provide more accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
3. Access to advanced technology and techniques.
Board-certified medical dermatologists have access to the latest technology and techniques in the field of dermatology. They continuously update their knowledge and skills through conferences, seminars, and training programs, ensuring they can offer their local patients the best care possible.
4. Personalized treatment plans.
Every patient is unique, and so are their skin concerns. When creating a treatment plan, they consider each patient’s specific needs. They believe certain factors such as medical history, the patient’s lifestyle, and their preferences to develop a personalized approach to address their patients’ skin concerns.
5. Comprehensive care.
A board-certified medical dermatologist can diagnose and treat many skin disorders, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer. They also have the expertise to treat more complex conditions, such as autoimmune skin diseases and rare genetic disorders.
6. Follow-up care and support.
They not only provide initial treatment for skin disorders but also offer follow-up care to monitor the progress of their patients’ conditions. They can adjust the treatment plan if needed and provide ongoing support and guidance for maintaining healthy skin.
7. One-on-one cosmetic consultations.
During our one-on-one consultation, we address all your cosmetic concerns and familiarize you with common treatments. We collaborate closely with you to create a personalized plan that considers your skin type, family and medical history, and treatment preferences. We will implement this plan over a series of treatments while closely monitoring your progress. If any minor adjustments are needed, we’ll make them as we go along. Many of our patients have commented on how much younger they look after each treatment.
8. Small family practice
We aim for excellence in patient care and are both trusted and appreciated by those we serve. Being a small family-owned and operated practice allows us to know each patient personally and customize treatment according to their individual needs. All patients receive care exclusively from our board-certified physician.
9. Expert results.
The key to our treatments is the benefit of working with a board-certified dermatologist who is medically trained to help you. Having unqualified providers who are not knowledgeable about human anatomy is not advisable. It could lead to excessive dosage or injections in improper areas and produce an unnatural look, or worse, a medically serious outcome.
