The Importance of Seeing a Board-Certified Dermatologist

Your skin has protected you your entire life. Unfortunately, many people do not repay the favor. Instead of taking steps to protect their skin, they do things that are detrimental to their skin’s health. This includes spending a lot of time in the sun without using proper sunscreen. They may not properly moisturize their skin, and they may not take care of minor skin issues that eventually can develop into something serious. Skin problems are not something that should be taken lightly. There are thousands of diseases that can have a negative impact on your skin. As such, the importance of seeing a board-certified dermatologist cannot be overstated.

Our board-certified dermatologist not only has the skill to help you with the cosmetic aspect of your skin, but she also has a wide bank of knowledge that allows her to identify and correct potentially life-threatening skin issues. First and foremost among these is the melanoma form of cancer.

Most people will turn to our dermatologist because they have some sort of cosmetic issue that they want to fix with their skin. But really, our dermatologist is skilled in so much more than that. She understands the way that your nails, your hair and even your mucous membranes function. She is trained to treat people regardless of how old they are and regardless of the condition that they have.

Our board-certified dermatologist has received training that is above and beyond what her non-board certified counterparts have received. Like all other dermatologists, she went to school to get the MD certification required to work as a physician. However, our board-certified dermatologist has received training and has passed the exams provided by the American Board of Dermatology.

Additionally, she is required to get continuing education and specialized training. When it comes to medical dermatology and cosmetic dermatology, she understands the ins and outs of all of the procedures in a way that other doctors just don’t grasp.

One of the reasons why it is so important to only use a board-certified dermatologist is because they have special training that allows them to identify potentially cancerous issues on your skin that can be missed by other dermatologists who are not specifically trained for this. When you see that a doctor like Dr. Supriya Tomar, who is board-certified, it means that the level of training she has received is significant enough to put her in a category of her own.

When you seek care from our board-certified dermatologist and her team at Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, your skin will thank you. Contact us today to schedule a dermatology appointment at our office in Jupiter or West Palm Beach.
