- Do I Need a Referral for a Dermatology Appointment?
- In most cases, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with our dermatologists. You can easily book a consultation for services such as skin checks or rash treatment directly through our online portal. However, we recommend confirming with your insurance provider whether a referral is necessary for coverage, particularly for specialized procedures like Mohs surgery.
- What Should I Expect During My Appointment?
- At Aesthetic Dermatology, we strive to make your appointment thorough yet approachable. During your visit, which typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes, our dermatologist will perform a comprehensive examination, discuss your concerns, and provide clear explanations of any diagnoses. You can expect a detailed, personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you feel informed and confident about your care.
- What Is the Best Way to Prevent Skin Cancer?
- Preventing skin cancer requires a proactive approach. Key steps include daily application of broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, minimizing prolonged sun exposure, and avoiding tanning beds. Regular skin examinations with a dermatologist, including melanoma screenings and mole evaluations, are essential for early detection and prevention. At Aesthetic Dermatology, we provide expert care to help you protect and maintain your skin’s health.
- What Does a Skin Cancer Screening Involve, and How Often Should I Schedule One?
- A skin cancer screening is an essential step in early detection and prevention. At Aesthetic Dermatology, our dermatologists conduct a comprehensive examination of your skin, carefully evaluating any unusual moles or growths. The recommended frequency of screenings depends on individual risk factors, such as family history, skin type, and sun exposure. Regular screenings are especially important for those at higher risk, ensuring timely identification and treatment.

- What Should I Wear to My Appointment?
- For your dermatology appointment, it’s best to wear clothing that can be easily removed or adjusted to allow for a thorough skin examination. Avoid wearing makeup, artificial tanner, or nail polish, as these can obscure the skin’s appearance. This ensures our specialists can accurately assess your skin and provide personalized recommendations, whether for mole evaluation, scar treatment, or other care.

Our dermatologists provide comprehensive care, guiding patients through every step of the process—from diagnosis to treatment and aftercare—at our Media and Paoli, Pennsylvania locations.
