Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Our board-certified dermatologists use this micrographic technique to treat basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and select melanomas. The procedure achieves 99% cure rates through systematic layer removal and immediate microscopic analysis.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox injections reduce facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscle activity. Our providers strategically administer injections around eyes and foreheads to smooth expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement. Results typically last 3-4 months with proper maintenance.
Laser Hair Removal
Using inMode laser technology, we permanently reduce unwanted body hair on arms, legs, face, and bikini areas. This non-invasive treatment disables hair follicles through targeted heat application, requiring 6+ sessions for optimal results. Safe for most skin tones and hair types.
Acne Treatment
Our customized acne treatments address comedone, papular, and nodulocystic acne through topical medications, light therapy, and chemical peels. We combine medical-grade skincare with lifestyle guidance to resolve breakouts and prevent scarring across adolescent and adult patients.
Skin Cancer Screening
We conduct comprehensive skin examinations to identify suspicious moles and lesions. When abnormalities are detected, we perform biopsies for laboratory analysis. Early detection services focus on preventing progression of precancerous actinic keratoses and melanoma.
