Services
Skin Cancer Detection
Our practice specializes in early skin cancer detection through comprehensive full-body exams. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify precancerous and cancerous lesions with high accuracy. Patients receive detailed explanations of findings and personalized treatment recommendations.
Cosmetic Botox
Botox injections reduce fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Our certified providers customize treatment plans to achieve natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining expression.
Microdermabrasion
This non-invasive procedure exfoliates dead skin cells to improve texture and tone. Regular sessions reduce sun damage, acne scars, and early signs of aging, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
Acne Treatment
We offer medical-grade acne treatments for adolescents and adults. Our approach combines topical medications, lifestyle guidance, and in-office procedures to address underlying causes and prevent scarring.
Mole Removal
Suspicious moles are evaluated using dermatoscopy before removal. We employ precise surgical techniques for both medical necessity and cosmetic improvement, with options for biopsy and histopathology.

Report
Within a matter of 15 minutes I was diagnosed, treated and on my way!! . Laura assured me my skin condition was benign and exceedingly common. Two previous "specialists" were convinced that what was irritating me was wildly cancerous and one went as far as to insist on full blown surgery. It was being equated to an iceberg, that there was likely a mass underneath what appeared outwardly on my skin. (Unreal !) Laura carried out a very minor, painless procedure within a matter of minutes. I had no discomfort nor irritation afterwards or in the days that followed. An independent biopsy confirmed Laura

A great team of knowledgeable, informative staff. Very interested in your good health. They answer all your questions and always make you feel comfortable. I have been a patient for many years. I live in Orlando, Fl. now and still continue going to the people I trust the most for my health needs.

We recently moved to the Tampa area from Michigan. I had been going to the same dermatologist (P.A.) for 25 years! I loved her! I was so worried I would never find that here. Luckily, I did! Laura is amazing! She knowledgeable & makes you feel so comfortable! The office staff is great, too! Everyone is so kind and helpful. Im so glad I found this office!

Dr. Laura was so kind and was able to turn my day around! She was very thorough and made me feel normal for having a bad rash I was quite embarrassed about. I am very pleased with her expertise and kind hearted nature! If she practiced family care, I would be very comfortable seeing her on a regular basis. The office staff was also amazing! I wish I could remember everyones name to give them a shoutout directly. Thank you so much for making me feel so at ease walking into your office! 10/10!

This place is fantastic ... especially Laura Millns. I'm not a huge fan of doctors' offices, these guys (and gals) are awesome ... organized, efficient, on time, knowledgeable, etc. (Did I say on time? That's a lost art in the medical profession!) They do a great job, explaining any issues, making sure you understand, making their recommendations, making sure you understand those, and then letting you make your own decision. I don't leave many reviews ... because honestly few companies impress me well enough to warrant doing so ... but I'm a very happy patient of Derm Associates of TB (Laura Millns
