Services
Acne Treatment
Our acne treatment program addresses mild to severe cases using customized solutions like topical medications, oral antibiotics, and advanced laser therapies. We offer Sebacia, a gold microparticle and laser combination treatment exclusive to our practice. Our board-certified dermatologists create personalized plans to reduce breakouts and improve skin texture while addressing underlying causes.
Skin Cancer Care
We provide comprehensive skin cancer detection and treatment, including annual screenings and biopsies for suspicious lesions. Our physicians specialize in diagnosing basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Patients receive expert care through advanced techniques like Mohs surgery, ensuring complete removal while preserving healthy tissue for optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Botox Injections
Our Botox and Dysport treatments target facial wrinkles by relaxing muscle activity that causes lines around the eyes, forehead, and between eyebrows. Administered by board-certified dermatologists, these neuromodulators smooth existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Patients achieve natural-looking results that last several months with minimal downtime.
Laser Therapy
We offer multiple laser applications for skin rejuvenation, including AviClear for acne, Pulsed Dye for vascular conditions, and fractional lasers for scar reduction. These treatments target pigmentation issues, broken blood vessels, and textural irregularities. Our dermatologists customize parameters to address specific concerns while maintaining skin safety and integrity.
Microneedling
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production. This improves skin texture, reduces acne scars, and diminishes fine lines. Performed by board-certified specialists, sessions often combine PRP or topical growth factors to enhance results. Patients see progressive improvement over several weeks with minimal recovery time.
