Skin Cancer Treatment
Our board-certified dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating all skin cancer types including melanoma, basal cell, and squamous cell carcinomas. We perform surgical removals with minimal scarring while preserving healthy tissue. Patients receive comprehensive education about prevention and early detection through regular skin exams.
Laser Resurfacing
CO2 laser treatments address acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture by stimulating collagen production. The procedure creates microscopic channels that promote skin regeneration with minimal downtime. Most patients see significant improvement after one session, with optimal results appearing over several months as new collagen forms.
Acne Management
We offer comprehensive acne treatment plans combining topical medications, prescription therapies, and in-office procedures. Our approach addresses underlying causes through personalized skincare regimens and advanced treatments like chemical peels. Patients receive ongoing support to maintain clear skin and prevent scarring.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox treatments temporarily relax facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Our experienced providers use a region-based pricing model with complimentary touch-ups two weeks post-treatment. Results typically last 3-6 months with regular maintenance.
Laser Hair Removal
Using advanced laser technology, we target hair follicles to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth. Treatments require multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to address hair growth cycles. Common treatment areas include facial hair, bikini lines, and body hair for both men and women.

Olivia is wonderful. She explains everything and takes the time to make sure you understand. She doesn't get in a hurry. My leg looks 100 percent better than 2 weeks ago. I would recommend Olivia to anyone. The nurses are amazing

Report
I'm so thankful to have a local dermatology group near us. Thought I had poison ivy that wouldn't go away, after trying for months seeing 2 doctors taking prescription treatments and getting no better, I gave up and gave them a call. The office staff was awesome, they quickly got me in. I see Olivia, she is awesome and her nurses are first class all the way, they are very friendly they will listen and answer all your questions. The building they just moved into is very nice very clean, from the waiting room to the patients rooms first class all the way. I should have went sooner, it wasn't poison

I have been going here for many years. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I never feel rushed and they are always pretty much on time. I have never waited over 5 or 10 minutes to get called back. Excellent doctors!

I highly recommend Olivia Rose, she was very nice and helpful. They made me feel at ease, having a irritated skin tag removed off my eyelid, as it was near my lash line and very irritating.
