WHAT IS DERMATOLOGY?

Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, hair, and nails. This specialty deals with both medical and surgical aspects of these parts of the body, including acne treatment.

WHAT DO DERMATOLOGISTS DO?

Tanner Clinic dermatologists diagnose and treat diseases and cosmetic problems of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails, including acne, moles, skin cancer, eczema, and psoriasis. Our dermatologists treat patients of all ages and severity, including pediatric dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, and advanced dermatology.

Patients at Tanner Clinic who receive acne treatment will see significant improvement in the appearance of their skin. Acne treatment helps reduce the appearance of blemishes on the skin and the underlying causes of acne, including oily skin, dry skin, and other skin conditions. Whether you suffer from adult acne, acne spots, occasional zits, or any other skin issues, our dermatologists can help.

Along with acne treatment, we also serve patients who have skin cancer, psoriasis, and mole removal. Schedule an appointment today and find the relief you are looking for at Tanner Clinic.

We look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your best skin yet.

HOW CAN A DERMATOLOGIST HELP YOU?

Along with treating diseases of the skin, a dermatologist can help you improve the appearance of your skin by removing unwanted moles and cysts, diminishing wrinkles and age spots and treating acne conditions. A dermatologist can also help you achieve less noticeable scars after surgery.

HOW DO I CHOOSE BETWEEN SEVERAL DERMATOLOGISTS NEAR ME? 

 

It seems easy to find a Utah dermatologist in the metropolitan Salt Lake City area; searching “dermatologists near me” pulls up pages of results. However, it’s a lot more difficult to find the right dermatologist for you. We recommend you consider a few different factors during your search. Below are some tips to help you get started.

 

RESEARCH THEIR FOCUS AREAS OF DERMATOLOGY

Dermatologists are trained to treat most skin conditions — from medical issues to cosmetic or surgical procedures — yet in practice, many choose to focus their efforts on one or more specific areas. Be sure to find a dermatologist or dermatology practice that focuses on your unique skin concern, whether that be routine skin cancer screenings or hair loss treatments. 

 

CONSIDER THEIR CREDENTIALS

Look into the dermatologist’s educational background (e.g., where did he/she attend medical school?), as well as their professional achievements and affiliations. When looking for dermatologists near me, you’ll likely find many experienced dermatologists are board-certified. This voluntary certification process distinguishes these doctors’ excellence in care. A “board-certified” dermatologist is a provider recognized by their dermatology peers as offering quality care using the latest medical best practices. 

 

ASK ABOUT THE DERMATOLOGY PRACTICE’S INSURANCE POLICY

If you have medical insurance, it helps to choose a doctor who is in your network or a doctor whose practice will file a claim for you as an out-of-network provider. Every practice is different when it comes to insurance; if you cannot find insurance information on the website, contact the office before your first dermatology appointment or contact your insurance provider to learn more.

 

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION TO MEET THE DERMATOLOGIST

With any doctor, it’s important you feel comfortable with your dermatologist. Scheduling a brief consultation is an easy way to determine if a dermatologist near me may be a good fit. Be sure to ask questions during the consultation to learn more about the doctor and their approach to treatment. 

Tanner Clinic offers 39 specialties of medical care, including our dermatology clinic. With five experienced specialists under one roof, we make it easier for you to answer, “who are the best dermatologists near me?”

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST DERMATOLOGY APPOINTMENT? 

To make the most of your first appointment with a Utah dermatologist, follow these three steps before you arrive.

Identify your symptoms or issues.

If you’re visiting the dermatologist because of a specific skin issue, take a few notes to make the most of your time with the doctor. This will also help you remember all the important details your Utah dermatologist will be interested in hearing. For instance, start by answering the following questions: What symptoms have you noticed? When did they begin? How have they changed? 

Jot down any questions you have for the doctor. 

Don’t be afraid to ask questions during your dermatology appointment; your doctor is there to help. As you think of questions related to your skin issue, add them to your notes. For example, here are a few questions that can bring you greater clarity and confidence following your appointment:

  • What sunscreen should I wear on my acne-prone skin?
  • How can I check for suspicious moles in between appointments?
  • What are the possible side effects I should look out for after BOTOX® treatment?
  • How can I prevent my biopsy site from scarring?

Think about other skin treatments that interest you.

Because dermatologists treat a wide range of skin conditions, take advantage of your appointment to discuss other treatments or procedures. Psoriasis may have prompted your appointment, but maybe you’re interested in learning more about skin cancer screenings. Or, maybe you scheduled an appointment for laser hair removal, but you also have a question about scar treatments. Bring up these concerns when you are in the dermatology appointment to receive one-on-one advice and explanations from an expert.
