Services
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic injections reduce frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. Administered by Dr. Sommerville, treatments take 10 minutes with results appearing within a week, lasting up to four months. This minimally invasive procedure offers a natural, youthful appearance without surgery, ideal for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate damaged skin layers to improve texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and stimulate collagen production. Offered at Chevy Chase Dermatology, options include glycolic acid, Vitalize Peel, and Glow Peel, tailored to address sun damage, acne, and aging. Treatments promote smoother, brighter skin with downtime ranging from immediate recovery to seven days, depending on peel depth.
Skin Cancer Treatment
Our practice specializes in skin cancer detection and treatment, including biopsies, excisions, and Mohs surgery. Dr. Sommerville's expertise ensures early diagnosis and precise removal of malignant lesions, prioritizing patient safety and long-term health. Regular screenings and personalized follow-up care are emphasized to prevent recurrence and maintain skin integrity.
Laser Resurfacing
Fractional laser resurfacing targets fine lines, scars, and uneven texture by stimulating collagen production. This non-surgical treatment at Chevy Chase Dermatology improves skin tone and firmness with minimal downtime, making it suitable for patients seeking rejuvenation without invasive procedures. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
Juvderm
Juvderm hyaluronic acid fillers restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance lip contours. Lasting up to a year, these injections address nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lip thinning.
