Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery removes skin cancer with precision, preserving healthy tissue. Our fellowship-trained surgeons achieve 98-99% cure rates for most skin cancers. The procedure includes immediate microscopic examination of surgical margins to ensure complete cancer removal while minimizing scarring. Patients benefit from same-day treatment and reconstruction when needed.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox injections temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines and crow's feet. Our certified providers use precise dosing to relax facial muscles, creating a smoother appearance that lasts 3-4 months. Treatment requires no downtime and produces natural-looking results when administered by experienced professionals.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles. We offer Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero products to address smile lines, lip volume, and facial contours. Results appear immediately with effects lasting 6-18 months depending on product type and treatment area when maintained properly.
CoolSculpting
Non-invasive CoolSculpting freezes and eliminates fat cells through controlled cooling. FDA-cleared for flank and abdominal areas, this treatment requires no surgery with visible results appearing over 1-3 months. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve desired body contouring goals.
Laser Rejuvenation
IPL photofacials and picosecond lasers treat sun damage, age spots, and uneven texture. Our Lumenis M22 and PicoWay systems stimulate collagen production for improved skin tone and clarity. Most patients require 4-6 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart for optimal rejuvenation outcomes.

Their new physician, Dr. Dai, does not believe in vaccinations. I'll go somewhere where the doctor believes in science.

I have been going to Durango dermatology for several years for medical care and have always seen their aesthetics services listed but was a little hesitant. I decided to schedule a free consultation and I am so glad I did. They went over every concern I had and exactly how they could help me. I always thought anything cosmetic would be outrageously expensive and boy was I wrong. Not only is it cost effective but they made me feel so comfortable with the procedures I wanted and needed. The staff were extremely friendly and made me feel like they truly cared. I had the pleasure of meeting with Robyn

Lorraine was awesome! She took the time to make an unknown process more comfortable and me more confident about the service. She did a great job treating the troubled areas, was personable and friendly. I highly recommend Durango Dermatology and their staff.

I've always had such nice interactions at Durango Dermatology. Each year I go and get my checkup and always leave feeling so blessed with the nice staff and friendly environment... My latest visit was The BEST!!! I must say Lorraine Roche was AMAZING. She went the extra mile with her skills and knowledge to help my skin look it's best with the IPL procedure. The acne marks, redness and skin texture have vastly improved! Thank You Lorraine!
