Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Our board-certified surgeons achieve up to 99% cure rates for basal and squamous cell carcinomas. This technique uses real-time microscopic analysis to ensure complete cancer removal, ideal for facial, hand, or genital area tumors. Patients benefit from smaller scars and minimal tissue damage compared to traditional methods.
Laser Treatments
Our Laser Dynamics clinic offers advanced laser procedures for medical and cosmetic concerns. Treatments include hair removal, spider vein reduction, and skin resurfacing. We use FDA-approved lasers for acne scars, pigmentation issues, and fine lines. Each session is tailored to individual skin types, with minimal downtime and visible results after multiple treatments for optimal skin rejuvenation.
Botox Injections
Botox and Dysport injections temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth wrinkles around eyes, forehead, and mouth. Our providers administer precise doses for natural-looking results that last 3-6 months. The quick, non-surgical treatment addresses crow's feet, frown lines, and neck bands. Patients see improvements within days, with full effects visible after one week.
Juvederm Fillers
Juvederm and Restylane fillers restore facial volume and reduce deep lines. Our specialists target nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lips with hyaluronic acid-based formulas. Results appear immediately, lasting 6-18 months depending on product and treatment area. The non-surgical option provides natural volume enhancement without downtime, with optional topical anesthesia for comfort.
Psoriasis Treatment
We offer comprehensive psoriasis management including phototherapy and biologic therapies. Our specialists use stand-up light units and hand/foot-specific devices for targeted UV treatment. For severe cases, we administer FDA-approved injectable biologics that target immune system triggers. Treatment plans consider disease severity, patient age, and lifestyle factors to optimize long-term symptom control and skin health.
