Skin Cancer Treatment
Our practice specializes in advanced skin cancer treatments, including electronic brachytherapy and superficial radiation therapy. These non-invasive methods deliver targeted radiation to basal and squamous cell carcinomas, achieving cure rates exceeding 95% with minimal side effects. Patients benefit from outpatient procedures requiring no anesthesia or recovery time, preserving cosmetic integrity while ensuring effective outcomes.
Cosmetic Dermatology
We offer FDA-approved injectables like Botox, Juvederm, and Kybella, administered by board-certified specialists. Our laser treatments, including Fraxel and MOXI, address wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation with minimal downtime. Tailored solutions enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining natural results, combining scientific precision with artistic expertise for rejuvenated skin appearance.
Medical Dermatology
Our team manages chronic conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne using biologics, phototherapy, and topical treatments. Advanced diagnostics, including reflectance confocal microscopy, enable early detection of melanoma and other pathologies. Personalized treatment plans integrate evidence-based therapies to restore skin balance and improve quality of life for patients with complex dermatological needs.
Laser Therapies
We utilize cutting-edge laser systems for both medical and cosmetic applications. Fractionated CO2 lasers resurface skin to reduce scars and wrinkles, while non-ablative technologies like BroadBand Light treat vascular lesions and sun damage. Our protocols ensure safe, effective outcomes across diverse skin types, combining precision with patient comfort for optimal rejuvenation.
Biologics for Psoriasis
Targeted biologic therapies address moderate-to-severe psoriasis by inhibiting specific immune pathways. Treatments like ixekizumab and risankizumab achieve PASI 90-100 scores in clinical trials, significantly reducing plaque burden. Our approach combines rigorous patient monitoring with personalized dosing regimens to maximize efficacy while minimizing systemic side effects for long-term disease management.
