Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is a precise outpatient procedure for removing nonmelanoma skin cancers with 100% margin examination. Our fellowship-trained surgeons use microscopic mapping to excise cancer layer-by-layer while preserving healthy tissue. This technique achieves nearly 100% cure rates for high-risk skin cancers in cosmetically sensitive areas.
Skin Cancer Treatment
We offer comprehensive skin cancer management including early detection screenings, biopsies, and treatment of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Our approach combines advanced surgical techniques with personalized follow-up care to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Botox Injections
Botox Cosmetic injections temporarily reduce dynamic wrinkles around the eyes and forehead by relaxing targeted facial muscles. This FDA-approved treatment softens expression lines to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.
Laser Hair Removal
Our Sciton BBL laser system provides long-lasting hair reduction by targeting melanin in hair follicles. This FDA-approved treatment safely and effectively reduces unwanted hair on multiple body areas with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Microneedling
SkinPen microneedling stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-injuries, improving skin texture, tone, and firmness. This minimally invasive treatment addresses wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks while promoting natural skin regeneration.

Report
Everything was great. The check in was very easy, the staff was wonderful, and Dr Horton took her time explaining everything she was going to do. It can be nerve wrecking not knowing what is going to happen during a Mohs procedure, but Dr Horton was so reassuring. She called that same night to check in with me, and I also received a call the following day. Would highly recommend Dr Horton and her staff.

I having been going to Dr Sharon Horton for over 15 years. I trust her expertise in dermatology and have always had a positive experience! She is very thorough in her approach to your condition and a very skilled surgeon. She is supported by a very well trained staff of technicians and assistants! Her office staff is also very helpful! I have even had follow up calls from Dr Horton personally after surgery! I always highly recommend this office to my friends who are looking for an excellent dermatologist. Thank you for being there for me and my husband for so many years!

Staff is so friendly and office is well-organized, respectful of my time unlike some other practices. Very covid-sensitive as well. Dr. Horton, at 99 mph is great and a hoot.
