Medical Treatment Options

dermatology

For many common skin conditions, topical or oral medication is the first step.

  • Topical Steroids: Creams used to reduce inflammation in eczema and psoriasis.
  • Retinoids: Vitamin A derivatives that unclog pores for acne and reduce wrinkles.
  • Antibiotics: Pills or creams to kill bacteria in infected acne or rosacea.
  • Antifungals: Medicines to clear ringworm, athlete’s foot, and nail infections.
  • Biologics: Advanced injections that target the immune system to treat severe psoriasis.

Phototherapy and Light Treatment

For chronic skin diseases, light can be a medicine. We use controlled UV light to heal the skin.

  • Narrowband UVB: This is the gold standard for treating extensive psoriasis and vitiligo.
  • Blue Light Therapy: Used to kill acne-causing bacteria without antibiotics.
  • Excimer Laser: Delivers high-dose light to specific spots, sparing healthy skin.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Modern dermatology offers many treatments that require no cutting. LIV Hospital specialises in these quick, effective procedures.

  • Cryotherapy: We use liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy warts and precancerous spots.
  • Chemical Peels: Acids are applied to peel away dead skin, treating acne scars and sun damage.
  • Intralesional Injections: Steroids are injected directly into cysts or keloids to flatten them fast.
  • Botox and Fillers: These injectables smooth wrinkles and restore volume with no downtime.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Lasers are powerful tools for skin rejuvenation. They use focused light to remove damaged layers.

  • CO2 Fractional Laser: Treats deep wrinkles and severe acne scars by stimulating new collagen.
  • Pulse Dye Laser (PDL): Targets red blood vessels to erase rosacea, port-wine stains, and spider veins.
  • Hair Removal Lasers: We use diode and alexandrite lasers for permanent hair reduction on all skin types.

Surgical Treatments for Skin Conditions

When medicine is not enough, surgery may be needed. Our dermatologic surgeons are experts in removing growths with minimal scarring.

  • Excision: Cutting out moles, cysts, or lipomas and stitching the skin closed.
  • Electrosurgery: Using heat to burn off skin tags and small benign growths.
  • Nail Surgery: Removing part of an ingrown toenail to stop pain and infection.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery

For skin cancer, LIV Hospital offers Mohs Surgery. This is the most precise method available.

  • The Process: The surgeon removes the cancer layer by layer.
  • The Lab: Each layer is checked under a microscope immediately.
  • The Benefit: We stop cutting the moment we hit healthy tissue.
  • The Result: It offers the highest cure rate (up to 99%) while leaving the smallest possible scar.

Rehabilitation and Wound Care

Healing after skin surgery is vital. We provide a comprehensive dermatology rehabilitation program for wound care.

  • Scar Management: We use silicone sheets and laser therapy to flatten surgical scars.
  • Ulcer Care: For chronic leg ulcers, we use specialised dressings and compression wraps.
  • Lymphedema Therapy: Massage techniques to reduce swelling after lymph node removal.

What to Expect After Treatment

Recovery varies by procedure, but we guide you every step of the way.

  • After Biopsies, you will have a small bandage. The spot heals like a scratch in 1 to 2 weeks.
  • After Laser: Your skin may look red, like a sunburn, for 3 to 5 days. You must avoid the sun strictly.
  • After Surgery: You may have stitches for 7 to 14 days. Mild swelling and bruising are normal.
  • After Peels: Your skin will peel and flake for a week, revealing fresh skin underneath.

Long-term Management and Follow-up

Chronic skin conditions need lifelong partners. We do not just treat you once; we manage your health over time.

  • Acne Maintenance: We adjust your routine as your skin clears to prevent future breakouts.
  • Cancer Surveillance: Patients with a history of melanoma get full-body checks every 3 to 6 months.
  • Psoriasis Monitoring: We track your response to biologics to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Preparing for Your Procedure

Preparation ensures the best procedure recovery and results.

  • Avoid Sun: Do not come in with a tan or sunburn before laser treatments.
  • Stop Retinoids: Stop using strong anti-ageing creams 3 days before peels or waxing.
  • Inform Us: Tell your doctor if you get cold sores, as lasers can trigger a flare-up.
  • No Blood Thinners: You may need to stop aspirin before surgery to reduce bleeding (ask your doctor first).
