Services
General Dermatology
Our general dermatology services diagnose and treat common and complex skin conditions affecting patients of all ages. We manage chronic diseases like eczema and psoriasis while providing acute care for infections and allergic reactions. Treatment plans integrate medical necessity with cosmetic considerations to improve both health outcomes and patient confidence in their skin appearance.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Cosmetic treatments address visible signs of aging and skin imperfections through FDA-approved injectables and advanced skincare technologies. We offer BOTOX, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments to enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining natural expressions. Each procedure is performed by medical professionals prioritizing safety and realistic outcome expectations.
Surgical Dermatology
Surgical services include skin cancer removal, lesion excisions, and biopsies performed using local anesthesia in our office setting. We employ electrodessication and curettage techniques for precancerous lesions alongside traditional surgical excision for malignant growths. Post-operative care focuses on minimizing scarring while ensuring complete lesion removal.
Pediatric Dermatology
Specialized pediatric care addresses congenital skin conditions, common childhood rashes, and infectious skin diseases from infancy through adolescence. Our child-friendly approach includes treatment for eczema, warts, and birthmarks alongside parental education about preventive skincare practices. We provide gentle care for sensitive pediatric skin concerns.
Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy combines Levulan medication with blue light activation to treat precancerous skin lesions and certain skin cancers. This outpatient procedure targets abnormal cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. We also utilize blue light therapy independently for non-invasive acne treatment by reducing Propionibacterium acnes bacteria on the skin.
