Acne is a common – and treatable – skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps. We treat them all – fast!
Actinic Keratosis
A rough, scaly patch, bump or reddish spot on areas of the skin often exposed to the sun. If untreated, it can develop into a skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. When detected early, most basal cell carcinomas can be treated and cured and are not considered life-threatening.
Botox
Botox® is a popular, trusted treatment, highly-effective at addressing wrinkles like frown lines, smile lines and crow's feet for a revitalized, youthful appearance.
Dandruff
Dandruff is typically a result of too much oil on your scalp and an overgrowth of yeast called Malassezia. Persistent cases can require prescription shampoo or medication.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Eczema causes dry, scaly skin and blisters that result in itching and pain. We use the latest medical advances to bring patients relief.
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by patches of red, pink or purple skin and dry, itchy skin. We treat psoriasis across all skin types and severities.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. Regular screenings with your dermatologist find cancer earlier, minimizing risk of spread. Schedule your annual exam now!
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
A common skin cancer that begins when UV light from the sun damages the skin and causes a cancerous tumor. We test all suspicious spots and offer the latest treatments.
Facial Fillers
Fillers are injectables that add volume, smooth lines and enhance facial contours. They bring instant results that can last between 6 months to 2 years.
One of my favorite quotes that I live by with my patients, said by Dr. Murad, 'Skincare is not superficial because it is healthcare. When you have beautiful skin, it is a sign that you have a healthy body and mind.'
