Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery offers the highest cure rate (up to 99%) for skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Fellowship-trained surgeons remove cancer layer-by-layer while preserving healthy tissue. Immediate pathological analysis ensures complete removal in 2-3 stages, minimizing scarring and enabling same-day wound reconstruction.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Advanced cosmetic services address wrinkles, acne scarring, and skin texture concerns. FDA-approved injectables like Botox and Juvderm provide facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Laser therapies and microneedling improve skin tone while bridal packages offer customized pre-wedding skincare solutions across multiple Georgia locations.
Medical Dermatology
Comprehensive treatment for eczema, psoriasis, acne, and allergic reactions covers both common and complex dermatological conditions. Board-certified specialists utilize topical medications, light therapies, and systemic treatments to manage chronic conditions while emphasizing patient education about disease prevention and skin health maintenance.
Skin Cancer Screening
Annual skin examinations detect precancerous lesions and early-stage melanomas. Certified dermatologists perform total-body checks for patients aged 18+, with specialized monitoring for high-risk individuals. Educational components teach patients about UV protection and at-home mole evaluation techniques to reduce long-term skin cancer risks.
Acne Treatment
Customized acne management plans combine topical medications, oral antibiotics, and in-office procedures like chemical peels. Treatment addresses mild to cystic acne across all skin types, with ongoing care plans to prevent scarring. Specialists consider hormonal factors and lifestyle impacts when developing individualized treatment protocols.
