A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. Whether it’s rashes, wrinkles, psoriasis, or melanoma, no one understands your skin, hair, and nails better than a dermatologist.
With your busy schedule, visiting the dermatologist may be last on your list of priorities.
But with all skin problems, the sooner problems are dealt with the better the long term outcome.
You spot a mole that is changing shape or size. Whether your mole has been there since birth, or it just appeared, skin cancer can develop in people of any skin color. So, even if you don’t have fair skin, you should still go see a dermatologist.
You have acne that just won’t go away. Although many over the counter treatments and home remedies can be successful, there may be sometimes when it just isn’t working. A dermatologist can give you a more tailored and effective treatment regimen.
Your skin is dry, itchy and irritated. This is usually more than a seasonal side effect and could be eczema. If something is itchy for more than a week, it’s time to see a dermatologist. Your dermatologist will help suggest things that can help relieve the itch and offer other options to help after examining your skin.
You have rough scaly patches on your body. Most often, the root of this problem is psoriasis. Psoriasis is caused by an autoimmune disorder where the immune system sends signals to tell skin cells to grow too quickly, causing them to pile up on the skin’s surface, causing red, thick scales. Your dermatologist will recommend specific treatments depending on your individual needs.
You’re losing a lot of hair or notice a bald spot. This could be caused from a few things and your dermatologist will assess what’s going on and will discuss various treatment options for your specific condition.
You have patches of skin that are either lighter or darker than everywhere else on your body. Your dermatologist will do a skin analysis to determine if there is cause for concern.
Your skin is persistently red and flushed. Often red spots that look like acne are the result of rosacea. If you’re experiencing this, see your dermatologist who can recommend treatment specific to your situation.
Conditions often have similar symptoms. One condition could be mild, and easily treated, while another could signal a bigger problem.
Although relatively straightforward to examine, the skin is the largest organ and has numerous potential abnormalities – there are about 1500 distinct skin diseases!
Checking the symptoms may be a simple skin analysis procedure or may involve a skin biopsy.
After a clinical dermatology diagnosis result is decided, then various treatment options can usually be considered.
The Diagnosis and the Treatment options will be fully explained to you.

Skincare is so much more than just cleansing and moisturizing. If you’re serious about having gorgeous, glowing skin at any age, a medicine based holistic approach is the way to go.
This involves taking a proactive approach to skincare – establishing your skincare routine, incorporating professional, medical based treatments, and regularly checking in with the dermatology-based team, at Orange Grove, to create a treatment plan customized for your individual concerns.
Some facials and body treatments are performed by the MediSpa team, under the close supervision of Dr St Catherine.
Chemical peels have become an extremely popular anti wrinkle facial treatment. Chemical peels target the removal of the top layers of skin. This smoothes out the surface of the skin, removing blemishes, age spots, wrinkles and fine lines in the process.
Chemical peels can also balance tone and increase firmness of the skin, for a more youthful appearance.
A skin analysis by Dr St Catherine will be the first step in selecting the best chemical peel.
The chemical peels we stock at Orange Grove, range from mild, to medium to deep.
The stronger the chemical peel the longer the down time for the effects of the peel.
The correct chemical peel selection for your skin is an essential first step by the dermatologist.
Micro-needling is known as a collagen boosting treatment to help heal acne scars, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles and fine lines.
The treatment works by puncturing the surface level of your skin with tiny needles to boost collagen production. This encourages the skin to regenerate smooth and bright with a youthful glow.
This treatment is best avoided if you have a big event in the evening as it can leave your skin looking red initially. After healing, you can expect to see long lasting results for three to five months after treatment.
Botox and dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that can relax or fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox, and other procedures such as fillers, can help to smooth out wrinkles but the results will be subtle. There’s no upper age limit for having Botox, so age alone shouldn’t stop you from undergoing the treatment. However, if you haven’t had any treatments done before, Botox won’t completely rejuvenate your face.
A Botox injection will typically last three to six months, depending on how quickly your body metabolizes it. You should start to see results one to three days after receiving the injection.
Dermal fillers are injected under the skin to smooth lines or add fullness to the face or hands.
Botox is injected into specific muscles to relax them. It can be used to flatten wrinkles as well as a number of other medical conditions.
