Acne Treatment
Our acne treatment program addresses mild to severe acne through personalized treatment plans combining medical-grade skincare, prescription medications, and advanced therapies. We utilize evidence-based approaches to target inflammation, unclog pores, and regulate oil production while minimizing scarring. Our specialists create customized regimens for teenagers and adults, incorporating both traditional treatments and innovative solutions like laser therapy to achieve clear, healthy skin.
Skin Cancer Detection
Comprehensive skin cancer screening services include full-body examinations using dermatoscopy for early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers. Our board-certified dermatologists perform biopsies and coordinate treatment plans for abnormal lesions. We emphasize preventive care through patient education about self-examinations and sun protection while maintaining meticulous records for monitoring skin changes over time.
PRP Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy stimulates hair regrowth using the patient's own blood components. This non-surgical treatment involves injecting concentrated platelets into the scalp to activate hair follicles and strengthen existing hair. Ideal for androgenic alopecia, the procedure typically requires multiple sessions with visible results appearing over several months through natural biological processes.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Advanced laser treatments address sun damage, age spots, fine lines, and uneven texture through targeted photorejuvenation. Our FDA-approved devices deliver controlled energy to stimulate collagen production and resurface skin layers. The non-invasive procedure requires minimal downtime while improving skin tone and texture for a more youthful appearance through progressive cellular renewal.
Medical Spa Services
Nua Medical Spa offers FDA-cleared aesthetic treatments including facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and hair removal. Our services combine medical expertise with cosmetic technology for results-driven outcomes. From injectables to advanced skincare, treatments are performed by licensed professionals using medical-grade products tailored to individual skin types and beauty goals.
