A dermatologist is a certified, licensed physician who specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating conditions and diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. Additionally, many dermatologists also treat conditions affecting the mucous membranes.
Whether you want to reverse the signs of aging, reduce the appearance of a scar, or get a mole tested for skin cancer, dermatologists help patients take better care of their skin and improve its overall health.
The dermatologists at our Wilmington dermatology clinic specialize in both cosmetic and general (medical) dermatology. We treat a variety of conditions and offer board-certified procedures to help restore your skin’s radiance and youthful appearance.
