Dermatology

Steps Involved in IVF:

Procedure Description

‍

Dermatology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions. Dermatologists manage a vast array of issues, ranging from minor skin irritations to more serious conditions such as skin cancer. Modern dermatology encompasses not just medical treatments but also cosmetic procedures, aimed at enhancing appearance and addressing aesthetic concerns. Procedures can range from simple, non-invasive techniques such as chemical peels to more advanced surgical interventions.

‍

One of the most common treatments within dermatology is laser therapy. Lasers are used to treat acne scars, pigmentation issues, wrinkles, and even remove tattoos. Laser therapy has gained significant popularity due to its precision, minimal recovery time, and long-lasting results. It can be tailored to the individual’s skin type and condition, ensuring the most effective results.

‍

Another notable procedure is dermal fillers, which are used to reduce wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and rejuvenate the skin. Fillers typically consist of substances such as hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the skin. These injections are minimally invasive and can provide immediate results. Dermatology also includes skin cancer screenings, mole removals, and treatments for conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.

‍

Procedure Duration

‍

Dermatology treatments can vary significantly in duration depending on the type of procedure. Non-invasive treatments, such as chemical peels, typically last between 30 minutes to an hour. These treatments often require multiple sessions over the course of several weeks to achieve optimal results. Patients can generally return to their normal activities immediately following treatment.

‍

Laser therapy, used for skin resurfacing or pigmentation correction, also takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour per session. However, depending on the condition being treated, multiple sessions may be necessary, spaced several weeks apart. The recovery period for laser treatments is relatively short, with most patients experiencing mild redness or swelling for a few days.

‍

More invasive dermatological procedures, such as mole removal or skin cancer excisions, can take longer. These procedures might require several hours, including pre-operative preparation and post-operative care. Recovery time can vary from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure. For instance, after mole removal, patients might need stitches, which are removed after one to two weeks. More complex skin cancer surgeries, such as Mohs surgery, can take several hours but offer a high success rate for completely removing cancerous tissues.

Risks & Considerations

‍

Possible side effects: Some procedures may cause temporary redness, swelling, or irritation. In rare cases, treatments such as laser therapy can result in scarring or hyperpigmentation.

Infection risks: Any procedure involving incisions or injections, such as mole removal or dermal fillers, carries a risk of infection if proper aftercare isn’t followed.

Allergic reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to substances used in dermatological treatments, particularly in fillers or certain topical creams.

Over-treatment concerns: Excessive use of cosmetic dermatology treatments, such as fillers or Botox, can lead to an unnatural appearance.

Unsatisfactory results: While most dermatological procedures provide positive results, there is always a chance that a patient may not be satisfied with the outcome, particularly for cosmetic treatments.

How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital

‍

When selecting a dermatologist or a hospital for treatment, it’s essential to do thorough research. Look for a dermatologist who is board-certified and has extensive experience in the specific procedure you are seeking. Online reviews and patient testimonials can offer valuable insights into the quality of care provided. It’s also important to verify that the hospital or clinic is accredited by a recognized international healthcare body.

‍

Additionally, communication is key. Choose a doctor who takes the time to explain the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes in detail. They should be able to answer all of your questions and make you feel comfortable about the treatment plan. Be wary of clinics that promise quick fixes or offer prices that seem too good to be true.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?

The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.

What happens during egg retrieval?

When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.

What happens to the eggs?

In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.

How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?

The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.

Embryoscope^©

Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.

Orthopedics Stem Cell

Knee

Research on mesenchymal stem cells regenerative properties in knee osteoarthritis. In these studies, researchers suggest that Stem Cell Therapy has the potential to regenerate lost cartilage, stop and reverse cartilage degeneration, provide pain relief, and improve patient mobility.

Shoulder

Stem Cell Therapy as an Alternative to Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Replacement Surgery. Stem cell therapy may offer an excellent alternative for patients looking to avoid shoulder joint replacement surgery, as well as many other surgical treatments for shoulder pain.

Ankle

If you suffer from chronic or acute ankle pain or instability due to arthritis, cartilage loss, ligament strain or tear, or tendon damage, then you may benefit from non-surgical stem cell treatments or stem cell-enhanced surgery.

Back Pain

Patients now have a minimally invasive option. Stem cell therapy for back pain and disc herniations can potentially repair the damaged disc or facet joint, restore function, rehydrate the disc, and ultimately alleviate chronic pain.

Anti-Aging Stem Cell

Hair Loss

Stem cell therapy and PRP therapy have been shown to be most effective for: Those in the early stages of hair loss, patients who are not viable candidates for surgery and women who prefer to avoid hair surgery.

Facial Anti-Aging
