Services
Botox
Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Ideal for treating crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, this non-surgical solution delivers visible results within 24-48 hours that last 3-6 months. Our board-certified surgeon personally administers treatments to ensure natural-looking outcomes that preserve facial expressiveness while reducing signs of aging.
Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles through precise injections. Using premium products like Juvederm and Radiesse, we address facial folds, lip lines, and volume loss in cheeks and lips. Treatments provide immediate results lasting 12-24 months, with formulations specifically chosen to match each patient's anatomical needs and aesthetic goals while maintaining natural facial contours.
Melanoma
Comprehensive melanoma management includes early detection through skin cancer screenings and surgical treatment for confirmed cases. Our board-certified plastic surgeon performs diagnostic biopsies and excisions with precision, combining cancer removal expertise with reconstructive techniques to minimize scarring. Patients receive education on UV protection and ongoing monitoring for those with elevated risk factors.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 laser treatment improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity by removing damaged outer layers. This single-session procedure effectively addresses fine lines, sun damage, and scarring with results that continue improving for 18 months. Customized settings ensure safe treatment for various skin types while delivering dramatic rejuvenation with 4-5 days of downtime.
Biopsies & Excisions
Diagnostic biopsies and complete excisions address suspicious skin growths through precise surgical techniques. Performed under local anesthesia, these procedures prioritize minimal scarring while obtaining accurate laboratory analysis. Our plastic surgery expertise ensures optimal wound closure and aesthetic outcomes, whether removing cancerous tissue or benign moles for medical or cosmetic reasons.

So, I'm not a fancy person ;). I'm 42 and I don't usually wear much makeup, if any. I spend a lot of time on the river and outdoors so dermal fillers and botox were totally foreign to me. BUT I have been spending a lot of time on zoom calls looking at my face lately and was sort of appalled at how old I was looking. I got fed up with it and made an appt with Dr. Deb. She recommended a couple of things that made me look like "myself again". I actually got carded buying a drink the next week (no joke). Thank you for making zoom calls a little less painful!
