It manifests itself as pimples, blackheads and cysts, mainly on the face, back and chest. A dermatologist can offer tailored treatments, including topical treatments, oral medications and advanced therapies to reduce breakouts and prevent or treat residual scarring.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rosacea:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Rosacea is characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels and sometimes red bumps or pus on the face.

A personalized approach helps control symptoms, reduce breakouts and improve the appearance of the skin.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Perioral dermatitis:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Perioral dermatitis manifests itself as redness and small spots around the mouth, nose and sometimes the eyes. It can be triggered by various factors, including the use of topical or inhaled corticosteroids.

At the Medical Dermatology Clinic by LeBlanc Savaria, we offer specialized services to diagnose and treat these conditions effectively.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;ul&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vitiligo:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Vitiligo is characterized by depigmented areas of skin resulting from the loss of melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigment. Although not dangerous, this condition can be very stigmatizing for some patients, and our dermatologists can offer you effective treatments. Options may include topical therapies, UV light treatments, systemic medications, and camouflage techniques to improve the appearance of the skin.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Melasma:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Melasma appears as brownish spots on the face, often caused by hormonal changes or exposure to the sun. Personalized treatment may include depigmenting creams, chemical peels and sun protection advice to fade spots and prevent their reappearance.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other pigmentary disorders:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Other pigmentary disorders can also alter the appearance of the skin. A consultation with a dermatologist can determine the underlying cause and suggest appropriate treatments, such as topical treatments, lasers or chemical peels to even out skin tone.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/ul&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Consulting a dermatologist for pigmentary disorders ensures an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.

A dermatological consultation helps confirm the diagnosis and prescribe antiviral treatments to reduce the duration and frequency of flare-ups.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warts and molluscum:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Warts and molluscum contagiosum are caused by viral infections and appear as small, skin-colored growths. Treatments include topical options, cryotherapy, and other methods to remove lesions and prevent their spread.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boils:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Boils are deep bacterial infections of the hair follicles, often painful and filled with pus. A dermatologist can drain the boils and prescribe antibiotics if necessary\\\/as needed to treat the infection and prevent complications.&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Toenail fungus:&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Toenail fungus, also called onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that causes thickened, discolored, and brittle nails.

This excessive sweating can cause discomfort, disrupt daily activities and influence social and professional interactions. However, many people are still reluctant to consult a dermatologist, often because they don&amp;#8217;t know what to do, or because they&amp;#8217;re embarrassed. Consulting a dermatologist is essential to identify the underlying cause and establish an effective treatment plan.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Not usually associated with a particular health problem, this condition results from hyperactivity of the central nervous system, which triggers sweating in response to stimuli such as heat, physical exertion, stress, anxiety, or the consumption of certain substances such as caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;At LeBlanc + Savaria Medical Dermatology Clinic, we offer personalized treatment options for hyperhidrosis. These may include topical treatments, prescription antiperspirants or injections, which effectively reduce sweating in targeted areas. This hyperhidrosis treatment, performed with neurotoxin injections, is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the signals responsible for excessive sweating, offering relief that can last several months.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Consulting a dermatologist to treat hyperhidrosis offers effective, long-lasting solutions, improving comfort and quality of life.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;services_offerts&quot;:false,&quot;texte_avant_le_bouton_rdv&quot;:&quot;&quot;},{&quot;titre&quot;:&quot;Keloidal Scars&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/cliniqueleblancsavaria.ca\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/groupe-5129-150x150.png&quot;,&quot;contenu_service&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;Keloidal scars are thick, raised growths that form as a result of injury, surgical incision or even spontaneously. These scars, often darker or redder in color than the surrounding skin, develop when the healing process gets out of control, producing excess scar tissue. Although generally benign, keloids can cause itching, discomfort and aesthetic concerns.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;At LeBlanc + Savaria Medical Dermatology Clinic, we offer specialized treatments to reduce the appearance of keloid scars and alleviate symptoms. These treatments may include the application of corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, injections to reduce scar size, or other advanced topical therapies, cryotherapy or surgery. In some cases, a combination of treatments is used to achieve the best results.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Consulting a dermatologist for keloid scars allows you to benefit from a personalized treatment plan aimed at improving the skin&amp;#8217;s appearance and relieving associated discomfort.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;services_offerts&quot;:false,&quot;texte_avant_le_bouton_rdv&quot;:&quot;&quot;},{&quot;titre&quot;:&quot;Sebaceous Hyperplasia of the Face&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/cliniqueleblancsavaria.ca\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/groupe-5129-150x150.png&quot;,&quot;contenu_service&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;Sebaceous hyperplasias are small, benign growths that generally appear on the face, particularly on the forehead, cheeks and nose. These lesions, caused by a proliferation of sebaceous glands, appear as small yellowish or skin-colored bumps, often slightly depressed in the center. Although harmless, they can be unappealing and pose aesthetic concerns for patients.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;At the LeBlanc + Savaria medical dermatology clinic, we use electrodessication as an effective method of treating sebaceous hyperplasia. This technique involves applying controlled electric current to destroy the growths while preserving the surrounding tissue. Treatment is rapid, precise and minimizes the risk of scarring, allowing the skin to regain a more even appearance.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Consulting a dermatologist for the treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia offers a safe and effective solution for improving the appearance of your skin and regaining your self-confidence. Your dermatologist may also offer you a topical treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence following electrosurgery treatment.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;services_offerts&quot;:false,&quot;texte_avant_le_bouton_rdv&quot;:&quot;&quot;}],&quot;telephone&quot;:&quot;450-434-2009&quot;,&quot;liens_rdv&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/savaria.portail.medfarsolutions.com\\\/en\\\/login&quot;}\" class=\"subservices\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cdm-block-group\"><div class=\"content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Dermatology consultation process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-reduce-width\">During your dermatology consultation at the medical dermatology clinic by LeBlanc Savaria, you will follow a structured three-step process to establish an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cdm-cols two-cols is-style-reduce-width\"><div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"cdm-col  column-small is-style-default\"><div class=\"inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-sbleuciel-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5243772c4601651fb54378b1ae33bd7b\">1. <br>Reception and Initial Preparation<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cdm-col  column-wide\"><div class=\"inner-col\">\n<p>From the moment they arrive, patients are welcomed into a warm and professional environment, where their comfort and well-being are our top priority.
