Services
Botox
Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and expression lines. This neuromodulator uses botulinum toxin-A to smooth forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Results appear within 24-48 hours and last 4-12 months with proper maintenance. Our board-certified dermatologists customize treatment plans for natural-looking results while maintaining facial expressiveness.
SculpSure
SculpSure is a non-invasive laser treatment targeting stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and face. The technology uses controlled heat to destroy fat cells, which the body naturally eliminates over 6-12 weeks. Ideal for patients seeking body sculpting without surgery, with visible results after one 25-minute session and optimal outcomes at 12 weeks.
Fractora
Fractora combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to resurface skin and stimulate collagen production. This treatment addresses acne scars, surgical scars, skin laxity, and textural irregularities through fractional skin rejuvenation. Patients typically see progressive improvement over 3-6 months with minimal downtime after each session.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen uses sterile microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin's natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve acne scars, fine lines, and skin texture. The treatment is suitable for all skin types with visible results after 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Pediatric Dermatology
Our practice specializes in diagnosing and treating childhood skin conditions from common warts to complex autoimmune disorders. We provide gentle, family-centered care for eczema, molluscum, and other pediatric-specific dermatologic concerns. Our team has extensive experience managing both acute and chronic skin conditions in children of all ages.

Dr. Lodha & his staff are amazing. I am in out of the clinic in less than 30 minutes. They are efficient and Dr. Lodha's treatment and diagnosis have helped me more than any doctor has. Highly recommend this location.

Report
Honestly, horrendous experience with both staff and at times Dr. Lodha. Their staff is super unresponsive, sends prescriptions to the wrong place, not able to track down lab tests that have been sent to them, and generally makes coming in a headache. Dr. Lodha, while super knowledgeable, spends so little time with his patients. Two appointments - he was in and out within 2 minutes (I timed it because it had happened a couple times before). He pays such little attention to your case - doesnt remember what medication or dosage youre on, any other skin problems youve talked about in the past

I appreciate how proactive Dr. Lodha is. He has discovered issues in their infancy and acts on them right away. I've been his patient for years and have no plans to discontinue. Thanks, Doc.
