Services
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs surgery offers the highest cure rate for common skin cancers through precise layer-by-layer tissue removal and immediate microscopic analysis. Our fellowship-trained surgeons achieve complete cancer removal while preserving maximum healthy tissue. This technique is particularly effective for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas in cosmetically sensitive areas.
Botox Cosmetic
FDA-approved Botox injections temporarily reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement. Our specialists target frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases using precise dosing to achieve natural-looking results that last 3-4 months. The quick, minimally invasive treatment requires no downtime.
Laser Hair Removal
Nd:YAG laser technology targets hair follicles for long-term reduction of unwanted hair. Our calibrated treatments safely address various skin tones and body areas. Multiple sessions yield optimal results by targeting hair in active growth phases, with most patients achieving significant reduction after 6 treatments.
Chemical Peels
Customized chemical peels address sun damage, uneven texture, and mild scarring through controlled exfoliation. We offer superficial to medium-depth peels using alpha hydroxy acids, trichloroacetic acid, and other formulations. Treatments stimulate collagen production for smoother, more radiant skin with minimal recovery time.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvderm restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles. Our specialists strategically inject fillers to enhance lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds while maintaining natural facial expressions. Results appear immediately with effects lasting 6-18 months depending on product and treatment area.

Dr Scully and her whole staff are fantastic. You always get a warm welcome when you enter the office. The decor is very posh which feels good. I always receive great care when seen by the doctor. They have been very accommodating in squeezing me for last minute appointments to help me deal with an unexpected skin issue that has been haunting me for the last two months. Scully will try to solve the problem with various solutions until she gets to the core of the issue. I am already seeing results of improvement. I highly recommend her for any dermatology needs you may have.

Quick scheduling after my call about a concern. I was promptly greeted upon arrival and seen actually a few minutes before time of appointment. Diagnosis was confident and treatment was effective. Advice about sun exposure was respectful but unequivocal. Thank you.

Dr. Matarasso and Staff choreographed a precision procedure leaving poor pitiful me cared for medically and personally. Surehanded and precise hands, professional poise, razor wit, fireplace warmth, and an answer to my every quivering query before it even stumbled out of my mouth. How fortunate am I to have access to truly top flight medial professionals. -- Thank you!!!

Dr Scully is the best! She knows her stuff, is super efficient and makes things fun even the stuff that's not. I've been going for regular skin cancer screenings and always feel confident that everything that needs to be handled is done. Highly recommend.
