Skin Cancer Detection
Our comprehensive skin cancer screenings utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to identify basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma at their earliest stages. Board-certified dermatologists perform thorough examinations of suspicious moles and lesions, combining clinical expertise with dermoscopy technology. Early detection programs help patients understand risk factors and implement preventive measures while ensuring timely treatment when necessary.
Mohs Surgery
This specialized micrographic surgery technique offers the highest cure rate for complex skin cancers. Our fellowship-trained surgeons remove cancerous tissue layer by layer while examining each sample under the microscope to ensure complete removal. The procedure preserves maximum healthy tissue while achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes through immediate reconstruction capabilities performed by our experienced surgical team.
Acne Treatment
Customized treatment plans address mild to severe acne through topical medications, oral antibiotics, and advanced therapies like chemical peels. Our board-certified specialists identify underlying causes including hormonal imbalances and develop multi-phase approaches combining prescription treatments with lifestyle modifications. We offer blue light therapy and extraction services to clear existing breakouts while preventing future scarring.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Our certified providers target frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases with precision dosing to achieve natural-looking results that last 3-4 months. The non-surgical treatment requires no downtime while softening expression lines through controlled muscle relaxation techniques.
Phototherapy
Narrowband UVB light therapy effectively treats chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. This controlled exposure to therapeutic ultraviolet light slows rapid skin cell growth and reduces inflammation without systemic side effects. Our calibrated treatment protocols deliver measured doses in-office to maximize efficacy while minimizing potential skin damage risks.
