Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is a precise skin cancer treatment that removes cancerous cells layer by layer while preserving healthy tissue. Our board-certified dermatologists perform this procedure with immediate microscopic analysis to ensure complete cancer removal. Patients benefit from same-day reconstructive repair by our plastic surgeon, minimizing scarring and recovery time.
Botox Injections
Botox injections temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. We use FDA-approved products like BOTOX Cosmetic and XEOMIN for treating forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months, with minimal discomfort and no downtime required.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels improve skin texture by removing damaged outer layers. We offer superficial, medium, and deep peels using glycolic acid, trichloracetic acid, and phenol solutions. This treatment addresses sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin with customized recovery periods.
Liposuction
Our tumescent liposuction technique safely removes excess fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and neck. Using local anesthesia, we minimize risks while sculpting the body with precision. Patients see immediate results that continue improving over several months as swelling subsides.
Skin Exams
Comprehensive skin exams detect early signs of skin cancer and other dermatological conditions. Our experts examine moles, actinic keratoses, and suspicious lesions using dermatoscopy. We recommend annual screenings for high-risk patients and provide education on self-examination techniques for ongoing skin health.
