Services
Skin Cancer Treatment
Our board-certified dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. We employ advanced diagnostic techniques like dermoscopy and perform biopsies for accurate staging. Treatment options include surgical excision, Mohs micrographic surgery for complex cases, and topical therapies for pre-cancerous lesions. Our team emphasizes early detection through comprehensive skin exams to improve patient outcomes.
Acne Management
We offer comprehensive acne treatment programs for patients of all ages, addressing mild to severe acne vulgaris. Our approach combines medical-grade topical treatments, oral medications, and in-office procedures like chemical peels. We create personalized skincare regimens using products containing salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids. Our providers educate patients on proper skincare techniques and lifestyle modifications to prevent future breakouts while minimizing scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our cosmetic dermatology services address signs of aging and skin imperfections through non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments. Options include Botox injections for dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers for volume restoration, and laser therapies for skin resurfacing. We offer personalized consultations to develop treatment plans that enhance natural features while maintaining facial harmony. Our nurse injectors are certified in administering botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers for safe, effective results.
Psoriasis Care
We provide specialized care for chronic psoriasis, offering both topical and systemic treatment options. Our providers prescribe corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, and biologic therapies for moderate to severe cases. We utilize phototherapy using narrowband UVB light to reduce plaque formation and inflammation. Our team educates patients on trigger management and lifestyle modifications to extend remission periods while monitoring for associated comorbidities like psoriatic arthritis.
Mohs Surgery
Our fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons perform this precise skin cancer removal technique with immediate microscopic examination of tissue margins. This procedure achieves the highest cure rates for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas while preserving healthy tissue. The multi-step process involves tumor excision, intraoperative mapping, and same-day reconstruction when necessary. Patients benefit from our surgeons' expertise in complex facial reconstructions following tumor removal.
