Warts
Arthritis
The latest treatments for Psoriasis consist of "biologic modifiers", products such as Enbrel, Remicaide, and Amevive. These immunologically engineered products are taken either through injection or intravenously with minimal side effects or risks. They have been specifically formulated for autoimmune-type diseases such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Cryotherapy
Dermatologists have used cryotherapy since the turn of the century. After the development of the vacuum flask to store subzero liquid elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, the use of cryotherapy dramatically increased. By the 1940s, liquid nitrogen became more readily available, and the most common method of application was by means of a cotton applicator. In 1961, Cooper introduced a closed-system apparatus to spray liquid nitrogen. In the late 1960s, metal probes became available. By 1990, 87% of dermatologists used cryotherapy in their practice. The general advantages of cryotherapy are its ease of use, its low cost, and its good cosmetic results. Most skin cancers are treated with excision or other destructive procedures, such as electrodesiccation and curettage. Superficial basal cell skin cancers and Bowen disease can be treated with cryotherapy.
Immunizations
"For example, psoriasis, a hereditary disorder that affects an estimated 2 to 5 percent of the population, can actually be triggered for the first time, or occultly perpetuated by choice of medications for blood pressure, eye diseases and even vaccinations.

Radiation Therapy
Recurrence rates for primary basal cell carcinoma vary with treatment modality. The 5-year recurrence rate for cryotherapy may be as low as 7.5% if lesions are chosen judiciously. This percentage compares favorably with published recurrence rates following other procedures. Published rates include surgical excision, 10.1%; curettage and electrodesiccation, 7.7%; radiation therapy, 8.7%; and all non-Mohs modalities, 8.7%. Because these percentages are derived from various studies, rather than one randomized controlled study comparing the different modalities, they should be viewed as rough approximations. Well-circumscribed tumors are most suitable for cryotherapy. The indolent local growth of these well-circumscribed tumors accounts for the high cure rates quoted in the literature.

Mohs Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
A Botox® Cosmetic treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows that developed over time. One ten-minute treatment - a few tiny injections - relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed for up to four months. Botox® Cosmetic has been widely tested. Now, it is approved by the FDA.
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Sexton also enjoys academic pursuits and has contributed numerous articles to the peerreviewed scientific literature as well as book chapters for a plastic-surgery text.
Face Lift
"The demand for safe, reproducible and minimally invasive wrinkle correction is still high on the list of priorities for my patients, and products such as Botox, Restylane (hyaluronic acid) and collagen are fulfilling this niche. Many of my patients are too busy to consider more invasive surgery, or simply don't want the risks associated with procedures such as a face lift. Even though work proceeds in these areas to further minimize risk and down time, they are still considered a major process."
Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation is usually carried out in two steps - pouting and contouring. To create a more pronounced mouth and fuller lips, RESTYLANE is injected into the upper and/or lower lip. This is often combined with the marking of the vermilion border by injecting the gel along the lip line. Redefining this edge leads to a more youthful and appealing look. The philtrum ridges can be defined by injecting the gel into the lines. To achieve the optimal result, a combination of these steps is often used.
Moles

Cosmetic Dermatology
Dr. Charles Sexton,a Board Certified Dermatologist, has been practicing general and cosmetic dermatology in the Irvine, Orange County, California area for the past 10 years. Dr. Sexton, a diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, has been treating patients in the Southern California area for the past 18 years.
Skin Cancer
Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups. Their colors can range from light brown to red, blue, dark brown, gray and even black. They may be flat, slightly raised, smooth, rough and may contain dark hairs. Most moles are referred to as benign nevi and are harmless. The term dysplastic nevus refers to moles that contain abnormal or atypical cells. These dysplastic nevi have a greater potential for becoming a skin cancer. The life cycle of the average mole is about 50 years.
Dermatology
Dr. Charles R. Sexton, M.D. is very enthusiastic about the recent opening of his state-of-the-art dermatology facility in the newly constructed Spectrum Medical Plaza near Irvine Regional Hospital.
Acne Treatment
Accutane, an oral vitamin A derivative, is a strong, effective acne treatment which "cures" many people. There are numerous side effects to Accutane therapy and proper counseling and monitoring is essential.
Eczema
The cause of eczema is unknown; however, genetics appear to play a role in the transmission of eczema from one generation to the next. Approximately 5% of the U.S. population is affected by eczema. It is often associated with a personal or family history of hay fever or asthma.
Fungus
"I have found that the antifungal agents have little effect on the growth of the fungus in these diseases, and what is worse is that use of these agents for jock itch commonly causes permanent stretch marks and rashes from the presence of higher strength steroids in the preparation," Dr. Sexton said. "The bottom line, if you have been given combo (more than one active ingredient listed) therapy for a disorder in these locations, and they are still present after several weeks' use, it would be best to discontinue them and re-evaluate the condition.
Lesions
Melanin is the dark pigment present in skin and is produced by melanocytes. Dark spots or pigmented lesions occur when an abundance of melanocytes are found in the skin. When dark pigment intensifies, it forms freckles, brown age spots and moles. Dermatosis papulosa nigra (very small and numerous slightly elevated dark papules or bumps, on the face, particularly on the cheeks and near the eyes) is an example of a pigment containing lesion, as are freckles and brown age spots and liver spots.
Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels have been used for over 100 years to create an even and controlled shedding of damaged skin cells. Each year thousands of chemical peels are performed in the United States. A chemical peel uses a solution applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkling and restores a more youthful appearance. Chemical peels are most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons -- to enhance your appearance and your self confidence. Chemical peels may also remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne. In certain cases, health insurance may cover the peel procedure. Be sure to check your policy and contact your insurance company before the procedure is performed.
Rashes
Skin Care
Since When your Orange County skin care needs require high-quality, non-prescription strength products, your dermatologist in Irvine, Dr. Charles Sexton, relies upon the skin care products from Dermatologic Cosmetic Laboratories (DCL). As the leader in the most up-to-date skin care technology, DCL offers products that are superior and that set industry standards, which is why they are so willingly utilized by your Laguna Beach dermatologist.
Psoriasis
"I have seen numerous cases of disease flares in patients whose skin was stable, but then developed hypertension, the subsequent treatment of which triggered a downward spiral of their psoriasis. The same process will occur rather predictably if one elects to utilize certain systemic antiinflammatory medications to control psoriasis, and their use should be avoided in patients with this disease."
