Key Facts
-
- If you do nothing else for your skin use a good sunscreen on a daily basis. The regular use of sunscreen is the cornerstone for a skin care and can not be overemphasized- especially for the Queensland climate. Westside Dermatology carries an excellent range of skin care products endorsed by dermatologist World Wide.
- As everyone has a General Practitioner, similarly, everyone should have their own dermatologist…who knows your skin better than a dermatologist? From skin checks to product recommendation, dermatologists are in the forefront of technology, providing total skin care.
-
- Almost everyone’s skin can be improved – dermatologists are experts at treating pigmentation, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, blocked pores and most importantly pre-cancerous lesions. We use a combination of creams, peels and photorejuvenation to give the best result possible.
- The basis behind effective acne management is to treat acne, recommend non comedogenic products, prevent and address scarring.
