Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is a precise treatment for skin cancer that removes cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving healthy skin. Our fellowship-trained surgeons achieve a 98% cure rate, using local anesthesia for outpatient procedures. Patients receive detailed pre- and post-operative care to ensure optimal outcomes.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our cosmetic services include laser hair removal, chemical peels, Botox, and fillers to address wrinkles, discoloration, and skin texture. Treatments are tailored to individual goals, using advanced technology like the UltraClear laser for skin rejuvenation and PRP injections for hair restoration.
Laser Hair Removal
Using Candela Gentlelase technology, we offer effective laser hair removal for long-term hair reduction. This non-invasive treatment targets dark hair follicles, leaving skin smooth with minimal discomfort and downtime, requiring multiple sessions for optimal results.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate and renew skin, improving acne, fine lines, and discoloration. Treatments vary in strength to address specific concerns, with minimal downtime and visible results after a series of sessions.
Platelet Rich Plasma Injections
PRP injections use a patient's own growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth and skin rejuvenation. The minimally painful procedure involves drawing blood, processing it to isolate platelets, and injecting the serum into targeted areas, typically requiring three initial monthly sessions followed by maintenance.

Report
I came to Dr. Chantara after having a really disappointing experience at another dermatology practice in Memphis. Dr. Chantara actually took the time to listen to my concerns, address my medical background, and lay out all my treatment options. Dr. Chantara wants the best for her patients and goes above and beyond.

Report
It is hard to give a positive review for Memphis Dermatology Clinic because we have never been seen within 45 minutes of our scheduled appointment (in other words, weve sat in the waiting room and waited and waited and waited Every Single Time). Third appointment in three months. Our $100+ copay doesnt help either, but thats not their fault.

Report
I drove from Jackson, TN to bring my four year old daughter to see Mr Dr. Buckley. He was so attentive and thorough and answered all the questions I had along with questions my four year old came up with. Unlike many doctors weve seen in Jackson, he followed up to make sure her issue was resolved. We will be going back to him for any and all skin care needs we have in the future!

Dr. Chantara just hung up the phone on me before I could finish the reason for my call. I had called already twice today and now have to call again tomorrow simply to get a refill. I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt. But this is the second issue with Dr. Chantara and the clinic I have had. I just suggest caution and maybe try to find another dermatologist.

Report
I have moles on my face that have recently gotten bigger and bleed every time I shave, no matter how careful I am. The doctor was very dismissive, telling me that my insurance wouldn't cover their removal "just because I want to look prettier", and overrode the determination by my insurance company that what I was asking for was necessary and covered. I was told I could either pay almost a thousand dollars out of pocket, or I could just go home. I will be seeking a second opinion at another location.
