Dermatology in Palamós: Comprehensive Skin, Hair and Nail Care

What is Dermatology?

Dermatology is the medical specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the diseases that affect the skin, hair and nails. This branch of medicine covers a wide range of conditions, from the most frequent and benign to the most complex and serious, such as skin cancer.

The dermatology specialist deals with conditions of the skin, scalp, mucous membranes and nails, including the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious and tumoral diseases of these tissues. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and acts as a protective barrier against external agents, which is why its care and monitoring are essential for overall health.

Some of the most common diseases treated by the dermatology specialty are: acne, eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, skin infections, alopecia, urticaria, skin spots, skin tumours and skin cancer. Many of these conditions can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life, both physically and emotionally.

At Clínica Eupnea Palamós we have a dermatology specialist who, together with other healthcare professionals, works to offer our patients a complete diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan. We use the most advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques to guarantee the highest quality care.

Dermatology Diagnostic Studies at Clínica Eupnea Palamós

Dermatological consultation

The dermatological consultation is the first step in the assessment and diagnosis of any condition of the skin, hair or nails. Our team carries out a complete and detailed examination to identify the condition and establish the most appropriate treatment for each patient, taking into account their medical history and individual needs.

Acne treatment

We offer personalised treatments to control and reduce acne in all its forms, from mild to severe acne. We have chemical peels, topical treatments, oral treatments and laser therapy. Our aim is to improve the appearance of the skin and prevent the formation of permanent scars.

Removal of spots and skin lesions

We treat hyperpigmentation and skin lesions with the most advanced techniques, including laser, cryotherapy and medical peels. We specialise in the treatment of sun spots, melasma and other pigmentation disorders that can appear due to sun exposure, hormonal changes or skin ageing.

Dermatoscopy and mole control

We carry out a detailed study of moles and pigmented lesions using digital dermatoscopy, a non-invasive technique that allows us to visualise skin structures not visible to the naked eye. This tool is essential for the early detection of skin cancer, especially melanoma, allowing precise monitoring of the evolution of lesions over time.

Removal of warts and keratoses

We remove viral warts, seborrhoeic keratoses and actinic keratoses using techniques such as cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen), laser and electrosurgery. Each technique is adapted to the type of lesion, its location and the patient's characteristics to obtain the best results.

Treatment of rosacea and couperose

We offer effective solutions for rosacea and couperose, conditions that cause persistent redness, dilation of small blood vessels and facial inflammation. We have vascular laser and specific creams to reduce symptoms, improve the appearance of the skin and control flare-ups of the disease in the long term.

Treatment for hair loss

We diagnose and treat the various causes of hair loss, including androgenic alopecia, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata. We offer advanced treatments such as scalp mesotherapy and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), which stimulate hair growth and strengthen the hair follicle naturally.

Dermatological surgery

We perform minor dermatological surgery procedures for the removal of cysts, lipomas, skin tumours and other benign or suspicious lesions. All procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia, on an outpatient basis and with techniques that minimise the resulting scars.

Treatments for atopic skin and psoriasis

We offer personalised therapeutic approaches for patients with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, two of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory skin diseases. We have state-of-the-art phototherapy, oral medication and topical treatments to control flare-ups, reduce inflammation and improve patients' quality of life.

Medical laser hair removal

We offer a medical hair removal service with state-of-the-art laser technology for the permanent removal of unwanted hair. This treatment is safe, effective and adapted to each skin and hair type, guaranteeing lasting results with the minimum number of sessions possible.
