Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs Micrographic Surgery precisely removes skin cancers layer by layer, preserving healthy tissue. Our fellowship-trained surgeons achieve 95-99% cure rates for basal and squamous cell carcinomas, ideal for sensitive areas like the face. This outpatient procedure under local anesthesia ensures minimal scarring while maximizing cancer removal accuracy through microscopic examination of tissue margins.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic injections temporarily relax facial muscles causing wrinkles, smoothing frown lines and crow's feet. Results appear within days, lasting 3-4 months. Our certified providers tailor treatments to maintain natural expressions while reducing signs of aging, with options combining fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser therapies target sun damage, pigmentation, and aging signs. Services include IPL Photofacial for even skin tone, Fraxel DUAL for texture improvement, and Cutera excel V to address vascular and pigmented lesions. Treatments require minimal downtime, revealing smoother, more radiant skin after sessions.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate damaged skin layers, improving texture and tone. Options range from mild VI Peel for brightening to deeper peels for severe sun damage. The non-invasive procedure addresses acne, age spots, and fine lines, with recovery times varying by peel strength to suit individual skincare goals.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Annual full-body skin exams detect early signs of melanoma and other skin cancers. Our dermatologists perform thorough evaluations of moles and lesions, using dermatoscopy for precise diagnosis. Screenings emphasize preventive education, teaching patients about UV protection and self-examination techniques to reduce long-term cancer risks.
