Dermatology - UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital
Our specialists provide a full range of dermatological diagnostics and treatments. Procedures are tailored to the type of condition — medical, aesthetic, oncological, or pediatric — and to the patient’s clinical profile.
Dermatological Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of any dermatological treatment. Our physicians perform clinical dermatological exams, digital computerized dermoscopy with mole mapping, trichological videomicroscopy, and skin biopsies with histological analysis. These procedures make it possible to identify benign skin conditions, distinguish lesions at risk for melanoma, investigate hair loss and other disorders of skin appendages, and recognize signs of systemic diseases that manifest on the skin.
Medical Dermatology
We treat medical dermatological conditions using a range of therapeutic options:
- Cryotherapy for benign and precancerous lesions.
- Photodynamic therapy for actinic keratoses and basal cell carcinomas.
- Minor outpatient dermatologic surgery in day hospital.
- Specialized treatment of skin ulcers and difficult wounds.
The approach is personalized based on the nature of the condition — whether autoimmune, infectious, allergic, or related to systemic diseases — and on the patient’s clinical response.
Aesthetic Dermatology
For aesthetic skin concerns, we offer:
- Aesthetic dermatologic surgery.
- Motorized curettage for the removal of benign pigmented lesions.
- Laser therapy.
- Horizontal needling for wrinkle treatment.
- Vertical needling for scar reduction.
- Hair transplantation and PRP use.
These treatments address aesthetic improvement of the skin and its appendages, while always maintaining a clinically informed approach.
Oncologic Dermatology
Early diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers represent a critical area of specialization. Our physicians perform:
- Digital dermoscopy with particular attention to melanoma risk factors.
- Oncologic dermatologic surgery to remove malignant lesions with appropriate margins.
Oncological management follows multidisciplinary protocols coordinated with clinical oncology and pathology.
Pediatric Dermatology
At UPMC Salvator Mundi, we treat various skin conditions that may occur in newborns and children.
Transient dermatoses account for most neonatal and pediatric skin conditions. Careful clinical examination of lesions helps determine whether the condition is linked to the physiological maturation of the skin and may resolve spontaneously, or whether treatment is required.
Some skin signs may indicate local or systemic infections or represent the first manifestation of a genodermatosis — that is, a genetic skin disorder — requiring a specialist approach to rule out conditions that need urgent intervention.
