Consultation and treatment of a wide range of dermatologic diseases and skin conditions:
Professor Manal Bosseila is willing to discuss a wide range of treatment options, including products and procedures. She will work with you to find the best way to respect your needs and produce the best results. Chronic skin conditions may be very hard to cure, but they can certainly be managed through lifestyle habits and maintained professional, medical treatments.

Patients are examined and evaluated for the stage of their acne. Medical treatment is prescribed and you will be closely monitored.
For acne patients a mild chemical peel is used every 3 weeks to improve your active acne lesions, as it controls excessive oil production, un-blocks pores and reduces the bacterial inflammation.
If you have acne with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation a lightening peel is used every 4 weeks for 3 sessions.
For cases of severe acne with scarring, you will receive treatment with microneedling technique, using a device called “dermapen collagen inductor” to improve localized acne scarring.
If you have severe or extensive scarring after acne lesions, you will need laser sessions using fractional Erbium-Yag Laser. At each session 3 passes of the laser will be used for the whole face to ensure proper treatment of all affected areas. You have to stay away from the sun for 1 week. Results will be evident after 3 weeks and skin toning will improve up to 2 months after the session.

• Do you have any freckles, skin tags, brown spots, nodules or moles?
• Do you check them regularly?
• Have you noticed any change in shape, size or colour or developed any new ones?
If you have any pigmented skin lesion on your trunk or palms and soles or even under your nails, come for an imaging technique, which will take only 10 minutes. Dermoscopy is a new non-invasive method that increases the diagnostic accuracy of moles and skin cancer. It also provides the possibility to monitor any mole changes over time.
Dermoscopy is a diagnostic tool is to identify cutaneous “risk lesions” that should be closely monitored or biopsied. Services include a personalized patient skin examination combined with direct magnified (up to 10x) clinical imaging of “risk lesions” as well as dermatoscopic (epiluminescent) imaging. It allows to check deeper structures, which would be impossible to examine with the naked eye. A written dermoscopy medical report is issued to the referring physician. The dermoscopy report includes a summary of all examination findings. Pictures taken at one visit may be compared with the appearance of the lesion at the next visit.
Dermoscopy, as an adjunct to a careful clinical skin examination, has been shown to decrease the frequency of clinically worrisome skin lesion excisions….saving patients an invasive procedure.

If you have chronic hair fall or your skin complexion feels dull, you can benefit from sessions of “platelet rich plasma PRP” injection.
Usage of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in aesthetic medicine is a new concept. It can be used to treat acne, scarring, hair fall, and it is also effective for skin rejuvenation and tightening around the eyes. PRP contains concentrated growth factors, which stimulate proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes producing collagen and keratin, respectively. Within a few weeks the skin will start to look rested, and radiant. Hair fall will stop and new hair growth is stimulated.
The entire process takes less than 15 minutes and increases the concentration of platelets and growth factors up to roughly 5-fold, along with an inherent rise in human stem cell proliferation due to exposure to concentrated platelets up to 10 times above native levels.
As an initial treatment strategy, up to 3 injections may be given within a 6-month time frame. These are usually performed 2 to 3 weeks apart. PRP is to be used in conjunction with the regular application of topical treatment, as skin rejuvenating creams or hair growth stimulating lotions.
Technique:
To prepare PRP, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge that spins at high speed and separates the platelets from the rest of the blood components. A dermapen with needles is used to stimulate the skin and open up channels for the PRP to infiltrate the dermis. The process is painless if sufficient topical anesthesia is applied. Because the patient’s blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and a low risk of allergic reaction.
Post treatment: Minimal swelling, bruising, and redness for the initial 12 to 24 hours are expected. A tiny bruise at the needlestick site may be visible for 2 to 3 days.
