Services
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs Micrographic Surgery at Nevada Center for Dermatology provides the highest cure rate for skin cancer through precise tissue removal and microscopic analysis. Our board-certified dermatologic surgeons perform this specialized procedure in-office with local anesthesia, maintaining complete control over the excision margins. This technique preserves maximum healthy tissue while ensuring complete cancer removal, particularly effective for facial lesions and complex cases.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our Cosmetic Dermatology services feature Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments, and chemical peels to address aging and sun damage. With 25 years of experience, we offer customized solutions for skin tightening, texture improvement, and pigmentation correction. All treatments utilize state-of-the-art technology under the supervision of board-certified dermatologists to ensure safe, natural-looking results that enhance individual features.
Clinical Research
Nevada Center for Dermatology's clinical research program investigates new treatments for skin conditions through FDA-regulated trials. Patients gain access to investigational therapies for acne, psoriasis, and skin cancer that aren't yet commercially available. Our 20+ years of research experience ensures proper patient screening, treatment monitoring, and outcomes assessment following strict ethical guidelines and federal regulations.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy utilizes concentrated platelets from the patient's blood to stimulate hair growth and skin regeneration. We administer this treatment through micro-needling or direct injection, making it effective for androgenetic alopecia and facial rejuvenation. The procedure harnesses growth factors naturally present in blood plasma to promote collagen production and tissue repair with minimal side effects.
General Dermatology
Our general dermatology practice addresses common and complex skin conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and warts. Board-certified dermatologists perform comprehensive skin exams for early detection of pre-cancerous lesions and melanoma. We provide pediatric care for childhood skin diseases and develop personalized skincare regimens using medical-grade products tailored to Northern Nevada's high-altitude environment.

Nevada Center for Dermatology has amazing service and physicians. The collapen made a big difference in my acne scarring as well as chemical peels. Additionally, acne medication has made a big difference in my acne and I feel much more confident. Dr. Lamerson, Dr. Meiri, and Ashley Vazeen are all very kind, patient, and thorough. If you have any medical or cosmetic skin needs, I highly recommend coming here and getting their opinion on any of your concerns.

Rude office. Rude on the phone and in person. Did not act like they wanted my business. Seemed annoyed and bothered the whole time. Dr Lamerson has no problem making you wait for 45 but if your the slightest bit late they cancel you and push you out 3 months!

Everyone can have a different experience, but this is just my own personal experience and opinion. Im a new patient to this office so I went in the see Dr. Ashley Vazeen to start my accutane treatment. I waited for a whole hour in the waiting area and when it finally came to my appointment she was with me for ten mins going in and out of the room. That to me is not very inviting to ask any questions I had or talk with her and really feel heard. I can understand when she first came in because she said she was running very behind on appointments but the visit didnt make up for it or to even

Do NOT go here for Botox! Do NOT trust them with your face! Super expensive and NOT at all precise with their injections!! ASHLEY was Incredibly arrogant and very unprofessional when I came back to have her fix a heavy eyelid problem SHE created by injecting too much in my forehead and not enough to manage my heavy frown lines between my eyes, which cost me $500!! Ashley had trouble acknowledging the issue and wanted to quibble about number of units used and unit cost, saying she'd given me "a deal," as they usually charge $615! Nope! That's not what I'd make an appointment

My primary care physician referred me here after trying to resolve my atopic dermatitis for many months without luck. I have never had any skin problems so this was a new experience for me. I was treated by Ashley and Christina. I was very impressed with how they got down to business without a bunch of humming and hawing. They just dove in and inspected, prodded and scraped just about every affected spot I had. While she did not know exactly what was causing my problem, Ashley asked a hundred questions clearly designed to identify possible irritants--from household products and clothing to

Ashley Vazeen is AMAZING! I called to make appointments for my husband and I. We were able to get two 15-minute slots back to back. First off all, we arrived early and expected to wait in our vehicle. No - they got us in immediately. Secondly, I thought we were there for consults - I had a lump on my face and my husband had a wart that was bothering him. Ashley came in, looked at my problem and immediately got to work getting rid of it! She, along with her assistant, were very friendly and kept me informed of what was going on. I walked out of there without the lump! She also took care
