July 15 — Dr. Khuu: Feeling good is more than skin deep If you suffer from itchy skin, acne, psoriasis, vitiligo or any number of other skin conditions, you know that the experience is more than just skin deep. But Dr. Duke Khuu can help you look and feel better. A board-certified dermatologist who earned his medical degree from Stanford University, Dr. Khuu uses a variety of treatments — including the latest technologies — to help his patients. For instance, he uses narrow-band UVB light treatments to combat chronic itching from psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. It can also help those with vitiligo. For acne, treatments in his arsenal include topical and oral medications as well as Blu-U light therapy to reduce active lesions. Dr. Khuu noted that getting treatment can make a huge difference to your psyche as well as your skin. For example, he said, one man who was scratching himself to death was so happy and relieved when his suffering stopped that he was a completely different person. He even dressed better. If you look good and feel good, youre going to be happier, said Dr. Khuu. Its just common sense. And did you know that in addition to skin problems, dermatologists can also treat nail issues, hair loss and excessive sweating? When Dr. Khuu treats hair loss, he works to identify the underlying causes so that it can be tackled effectively. We really delve into the medical aspect of why someone is having hair loss, Dr. Khuu said. It could be a pure genetic problem. It could be a deficiency problem. A patient could be anemic or lack vitamin D. Stress, pregnancy, thyroid disease or lupus could be implicated. Depending on the issue diagnosed, Dr. Khuu can prescribe medication and/or refer patients to an appropriate specialist. He offers both pills and a spray to treat certain types of hair loss. Botox injections can be used to halt excessive sweating, and Dr. Khuu can also deal with brittle nails, ingrown nails and nail fungus. An expert in both medical and cosmetic treatments, Dr. Khuu also offers laser hair removal and laser treatment of sunspots, stretch marks and scarring, and he uses both laser and injectable treatments (such as Restylane and Xeomin) to tighten skin and help smooth out lines. If youd like to learn more about how Dr. Khuu can help you both look and feel your best, call his Mountain View office at (650) 969-5488. Dr. Khuu also has an office in San Jose, and both offer Saturday appointments. You can also book appointments online at khuudermatology. All insurance providers are accepted.
