Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Our board-certified surgeons achieve high cure rates for basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Patients benefit from same-day reconstruction options performed by our plastic surgery specialist.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox injections reduce facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscle activity. We treat forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines with results lasting 3-4 months. Our specialists ensure natural-looking outcomes.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels improve skin texture by exfoliating damaged layers. We offer superficial to deep peels for acne scars, sun damage, and fine lines. Treatments are customized to skin type and recovery preferences.
Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and neck. Performed under local anesthesia, this procedure reshapes body contours with minimal downtime compared to traditional methods.
Laser Therapy
Laser treatments address pigmentation, vascular lesions, and aging signs. Technologies include Fraxel for collagen stimulation, IPL for photorejuvenation, and PiXel8-RF for microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten skin.

Report
I have been going to Dr. Heller for 6-7 years now. I have a lot of dermatology issues because of pale skin and many sunburns as a child. Dr. Heller is knowledgeable, intelligent, and has a pleasant personality. He did excellent work removing a squameous cell carcenoma from my face -- removing all of the cancer was a success, and you can barely see any scar what so ever! The face is always an important area for a surgeon to do quality work, and I'd recommend Dr. Heller to anyone. Mischa is an excellent doctor as well, she filled in a couple of appointments during the pandemic. I had one

Dr. Heller and his team are fantastic and professional. I had a nasty scar on my neck from a surgery and they helped with scar reduction and laser therapy. They are not overly expensive and I believe they not only enjoy helping people but gathering information on what processes work best with the different clients they serve. They are VERY knowledgeable to say the least. I have keloid skin that also happens to be very allergic, they knew and had no issues. I was impressed with clinic.
