Medical Dermatology
Our medical dermatology services diagnose and treat chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne using evidence-based methodologies. Board-certified specialists create personalized treatment plans incorporating advanced therapies such as Xtrac Excimer Laser for eczema and customized acne regimens. The practice emphasizes long-term skin health through ongoing patient education and preventive strategies.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery offers precise skin cancer removal with 98-99% cure rates for basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Our fellowship-trained surgeons perform same-day tumor mapping, excision, and reconstruction. This technique preserves healthy tissue while ensuring complete cancer removal, followed by immediate wound repair for optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox treatments reduce facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscle activity. Our specialists target frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases with precision dosing. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months, with follow-up sessions maintaining smooth, youthful appearance without surgical intervention.
Laser Treatments
Fraxel and Titan laser systems address sun damage, fine lines, and skin laxity through fractional resurfacing and collagen stimulation. Non-invasive procedures require no downtime while improving skin texture and tone. Multiple sessions yield progressive tightening and rejuvenation effects for facial and body areas.
Chemical Peels
Glycolic acid peels exfoliate damaged skin layers to diminish fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Treatment series progressively improve skin texture while stimulating collagen production. Post-treatment care includes medical-grade skincare products to maintain results and protect renewed skin surfaces.
