Why settle for a “good” dermatologist? Benefit from exceptional skill, advanced technologies in Algonquin IL
We look forward to meeting you in person and helping you, your friends, and your family experience what sets us apart from the other skin specialists in Chicagoland as an exceptional (not just “good”) dermatologist.
Advanced skill – Safe services, desirable outcomes
A medical license represents the minimum competency required to diagnose and treat patients. It is not specific to a single specialty, nor does it demonstrate exceptional skill in each specialty, such as dermatology. Dr. Vic Khanna of Dermatology Specialists of Illinois has received hands-on training and ongoing professional development and practice assessment far beyond the “minimum” medical licensure requirements.As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Khanna has completed the rigorous requirements set forth by the American Board of Medical Specialties, which sets and maintains standards for dermatologists and 23 other medical and surgical specialties recognized by the ABMS. This distinction gives our patients peace of mind. They know that their health, safety, and appearance are in good hands even if they are undergoing a non-invasive cosmetic procedure or are receiving precision treatment for pre-cancer or malignant tumors.
As dermatologists, Dr. Khanna also knows that they have the unique opportunity to build relationships with their patients – to partner with them and advocate on their behalf. As the skin protects the rest of your body from disease and everyday stressors and regulates body temperature, they and their skilled physician assistants, medical aestheticians, certified laser technicians, and staff understand the vital role they play in patients’ lives.
Treating chronic conditions such as rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema with medical dermatology services can improve sleep, enhanced productivity and performance at work and school, a better quality of life. Likewise, restoring a youthful and vibrant appearance with cosmetic dermatology services can also improve a patient’s quality of life by restoring their sense of self and confidence. We take this great responsibility and opportunity very seriously and find the partnerships we have built with our patients to be rewarding.
Sophisticated technology – Precision treatment, natural results
Dr. Khanna vetted the latest medical, surgical, and cosmetic devices, products, and procedures to offer proven, FDA-approved treatments and FDA-cleared technologies. Patients at Dermatology Specialists of Illinois’ Algonquin, Woodstock, and newly opened Barrington IL locations have benefited from a wide range of services, a small sampling of which include:- Precision skin cancer diagnostics and treatment – Our practitioners are among the select few with the training and capabilities to offer Mohs surgery. This approach to treating basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas and some melanomas has an unprecedented success rate. It involves removing and evaluating tissue for cancer cells, one layer of skin at a time, until no such cells are seen under the microscope.
- Non-invasive body contouring and fat reduction – Dermatology Specialists of Illinois is proud to offer patients with stubborn fat pockets an opportunity to tone their physiques and build muscle without going under the knife. Emsculpt® builds muscle and burns fat using proprietary HIFEM technology to induce supramaximal contractions that can’t be produced by the human body and the most extreme physical activity. So, each 30-minute treatment is like completing 20,000 squats or crunches (with modest soreness)! CoolSculpting® delivers controlled cooling to “freeze” fat cells, which are later safely eliminated by the body.
- Light- and laser-based therapies – Our suite of lasers and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices are tailored and adjusted to your unique characteristics, needs, and goals for treatment. These options are effective at improving cosmetic concerns, such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation and medical conditions, from rosacea to psoriasis.
