Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is a precise skin cancer treatment that removes cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving healthy skin. Our facility pioneered this procedure in San Joaquin County with board-certified expertise. Patients benefit from high cure rates and minimal scarring through this microscopic-guided technique.
Laser Treatments
Our comprehensive laser services include Sciton HERO IPL/BBL technology for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation removal, and vascular treatments. With 30+ years of experience, our registered nurses deliver safe, effective results for conditions ranging from sun damage to facial redness using state-of-the-art equipment.
Botox Injections
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Bock personally administers Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin injections for wrinkle reduction and hyperhidrosis treatment. These neuromodulators provide natural-looking results by temporarily relaxing facial muscles or reducing excessive sweating with proven safety and effectiveness.
Chemical Peels
We offer various chemical peel strengths including the Arctic Peel and Croton Oil Peel for skin rejuvenation. These treatments address fine lines, uneven texture, and sun damage through controlled exfoliation, with options ranging from mild refreshers to dramatic facial rejuvenation procedures.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery. Our trained professionals target areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs with FDA-cleared technology that permanently reduces fat bulges through natural cellular elimination processes.
