How she works
Her residency in internal medicine before dermatology shapes the way she examines patients. A skin change can be the first sign of a disease in another organ, and Dr. von Kossel asks about medication, tests and medical history before proposing treatment.
Her postgraduate training in geriatric dermatology, the dermatology of older patients, explains her attention to skin cancer and to lesions caused by accumulated sun exposure. Most skin surgery is done in the office itself, under local anesthesia.
For cosmetic procedures, the recommendation comes from the examination. She writes the plan during the consultation: what to do, how many sessions and what to expect at each stage.
In Brazil, CRM is the medical license issued by the Regional Medical Council, and RQE is the registry that certifies a doctor as a board-certified specialist. Dr. von Kossel holds CRM-SP 107714 and RQE 58534 in dermatology.
