• Cataracts
  In recent years a great deal of publicity has been given to risk associated with sun exposure. The most dangerous and fearsome risk is development of malignant melanoma which can be a lethal tumor. Other skin tumors which can develop from chronic sun exposure include squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas, pre-cancerous lesions ( actinic keratoses ), sunburns, photo-aging (wrinkles and brown age spots), photosensitivity disease and cataract formation.

Surgeons

• Wound Care
  You will be given detailed instructions following your surgery regarding your wound care. Some sites, cosmetic repair by suturing the sides of the wound together may be required, however, in some areas of the body there is little tissue that can be stretched for coverage of the wound and either a skin graft or flap may be used. In closing wounds with a skin flap, the skin adjacent to the surgical defect is partially cut free and moved to cover the surgical area. Stitches are then placed to hold the flap in its new position. Other areas may require skin graft to provide coverage. Skin from the side of the neck, behind the ear or over the collar bone may be cut free, placed over the wound and then sewn into place. The original site of the graft is then closed with stitches and allowed to heal. Dr. Meisenheimer is very experienced in performing cosmetic reconstruction following skin cancer surgery having done thousands of complex repairs, grafts and flaps over the last two decades. Post-Operative care instructions.
• Mohs Surgery
  Cases unless it is for a surgical consultation (Mohs surgery) or for patch testing. The consult  must be requested by your dermatologist or pediatric dermatologist.

• Botox
  Botox® is the number one cosmetic procedure begin done in the United States and one of the reasons is because of it’s excellent safety profile. Extreme side effects are rare and occasional side effects such as bruising, headache and numbness are usually transient. It about one percent over relaxation of muscles may occur in areas not intended. Happily this effect is not permanent and will resolve. There are few contraindications for Botox®. We do not treat during pregnancy or in those with certain neuromuscular diseases, but for the majority it is safe to use. We do Orlando Botox Treatments with great care.

• Acne Treatment
  The Beta peel is a very elegant superficial peel. Unlike other superficial peels the Beta Peel generally has little or no downtime.
• Eczema
  An irritant chemical is one that would cause inflammation in almost anyone if applied in a sufficiently high concentration for a long enough period. An irritant dermatitis is caused by direct damage to the skin by the substance and does not involve the immune system. (example…bleach) See also irritant hand eczema.
• Lesions
  Growths “moles”. Lesions such as melanocytic nevi, seborrheic keratosis, lentigo, sebaceous hyperplasia, skin tags and warts are many times referred to by the lay public as “moles”. Regardless of the name, cosmetic “mole” removals are a daily event in a dermatologist’s office. Cosmetic removals are not covered by insurance. Sometimes I will need to remove a growth because it is suspicious, but if there is nothing clinically suspicious with the growth it will be considered a cosmetic procedure.
