Services
Medical Dermatology
Our medical dermatology services address skin diseases, scalp conditions, and hair disorders. Full skin exams and biopsies ensure accurate diagnoses, while treatments range from topical therapies to advanced drug interventions. Board-certified dermatologists and nurse practitioners collaborate to create individualized care plans focused on long-term skin health.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery offers precise skin cancer treatment with 97-99% cure rates. Our fellowship-trained surgeons remove tumors layer-by-layer, preserving healthy tissue. This technique is ideal for complex cases near critical areas or recurrent cancers, combining oncologic expertise with reconstructive precision for optimal outcomes.
Cosmetic Services
Medical aesthetics at Meridiem DermSpa include neurotoxin injections and dermal fillers. These FDA-approved treatments address wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture concerns. Delivered by trained professionals, services combine dermatological expertise with advanced techniques to enhance natural beauty safely and effectively.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Annual skin cancer screenings detect melanomas and carcinomas early. Our team examines moles, lesions, and skin changes using dermatoscopes. Early detection significantly improves treatment success rates, making screenings vital for patients with sun exposure histories or family skin cancer risks.
Excimer Laser Treatment
The PHAROS excimer laser targets psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema with painless UVB light. This precision therapy minimizes healthy tissue exposure while effectively managing chronic conditions. Sessions require no downtime, offering a safe alternative for patients unresponsive to topical treatments.
