Psoriasis is a common and chronic condition that usually causes patches of itchy, scaly and sometimes inflamed skin. Although they can appear anywhere, these patches, called plaques, are most likely to crop up on your knees, elbows, hands, feet, scalp, or back. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the fingernails and toenails are also affected in about 50% of cases of active psoriasis.
One of the hottest new technologies is available at GDI.
By combining the collagen-generating effects of microneedling with the tightening and ablative effects of radiofrequency waves, this is the best of both worlds. With minimal downtime, a maximum dual effect of improved tightening can be achieved using this method. When used properly, this technique is safe for all skin types. A series of treatments is necessary for the optimum effect.
Our technology can go to a depth of 3.5mm, reaching the deep dermis, where the collagen generation and tightening effects are greatest. Our state-of-the-art chiller system makes this a minimally painful experience.
This treatment is quick and can be combined with other treatments, ((((such as platelet rich plasma (PRP)))))), to allow for deeper penetration of those ingredients.
Hyperpigmentation is caused by an increase in melanin, the substance in the body that is responsible for color (pigment).
One type of hyperpigmentation is melasma (also known as chloasma). This condition is characterized by tan or brown patches, most commonly on the face.
Vitiligo causes smooth, white patches on the skin. In some people, these patches can appear all over the body. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the pigment-producing cells are damaged. There is no cure for vitiligo, but there are several treatments, including cosmetic cover-ups, corticosteroid creams, or light treatments.
Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness and pimples on your nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. The redness may come and go. People sometimes call rosacea "adult acne" because it can cause outbreaks that look like acne. It can also cause burning and soreness in the eyes and eyelids.
Rosacea is a common dermatologic condition. It is estimated to affect approximately 16 million Americans.
Treatment is prescribed based on the subtype of rosacea you have.
It depends on the type, therefore please check the board-certified dermatologist.
Seborrheic keratoses are noncancerous (benign) skin growths that some people develop as they age. They often appear on the back or chest but are also common on the scalp, face, arms, and legs. Seborrheic keratoses grow slowly, in groups or by themselves. Most people will develop at least one seborrheic keratosis growth during their lifetime
Warts are a localised thickening of the skin which is caused by the human papilloma virus. These bumpy growths are especially distressing when they occur on the face.
Warty lesions can also occur on the face as we age due to sun damage. Some ‘warts’ are caused by a viral infection that means they can often recur or regrow at a later date but other lesions are simply ‘warty’ in appearance and are generally harmless.
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection of the skin that causes small pearly or flesh-colored bumps. The bumps may be clear, and the center is often indented. The virus is not harmful. Molluscum contagiosum is fairly common, and if the bumps are injured, the infection can typically spread to surrounding skin.
This infection can also spread from person to person from infected objects such as phones, TV remotes, and other common items. While this skin infection is most common in children, it can also affect teenagers and adults. Those with weakened immune systems are also prone to being infected.
Some people choose to remove the bumps because they are embarrassed by them, or to keep them from spreading to other people. The bumps can also go away on their own, but new bumps can also form in that time as well. Health professionals usually recommend treating bumps located in the genital area to prevent them from spreading.

Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a long-lasting skin problem. It causes dry skin, intense itching, and then a red, raised rash. In severe cases, the rash forms clear, fluid-filled blisters. It cannot be spread from person to person.
Atopic dermatitis is most common in babies and children, but you may also get atopic dermatitis as an adult. While atopic dermatitis is sometimes called eczema or atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis is only one of the many types of eczema.
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin inflammation marked by the presence of blackheads and one or more red, tender bumps (lesions). The lesions often enlarge, break open and drain pus. Scarring may result after several occurrences.
For severe or persistent cases or for deep lesions, Incision & drainge or surgery may be necessary.
Oil seeds, also known as milia are tiny, white, bead-like cysts that are formed when keratin becomes trapped under the skin’s surface. Oil seeds primarily appear underneath the eyes, on the cheeks, the nose, and the chin.
Moles, also called melanocytic nevi are common benign, pigmented skin growths that are formed when numerous pigment cells grow together in clusters. Moles primarily occur in sun-exposed areas. There are different types of moles namely, congenital moles, dysplastic nevi, and common moles. Moles tend to appear during childhood and reach a maximum number at the age of 30-40. They do not usually cause symptoms but can be cosmetically disturbing depending on their size and location.

Skin tags, also known as acrochordons are painless, soft, skin-coloured growths connected to the skin by a stalk. The stalk plays a major role in nourishing the skin tag with nutrient-rich blood. Skin tags mostly occur in areas that are subject to a lot of friction such as the neck, the underarms, the groin, and under the breasts.
A skin tag is a common, benign condition which consists of a small piece of skin that projects from the surrounding skin and may appear attached to the skin. Skin tags can vary in appearance. They may be smooth or irregular, flesh colored or more deeply pigmented, and may either be raised above the surrounding skin or have a stalk so that the skin tag hangs from the skin.
We diagnose and treat all disorders that affect the nail and its surrounding tissues. If your fingernails are healthy, they should be smooth on the surface without any bumps, pits, or grooves. They should also be consistent in color without spots or any type of discoloration, and should not peel or break easily while doing normal daily activities.
You should seek immediate medical attention if your nails exhibit unusual symptoms, such as: brittleness, redness and swelling around the nail, pain and/or bleeding around the nails, thickening or thinning of the nails, changes in nail shape and texture, apparent discoloration (a black streak in the nail), and separation of the nail from the skin.
