Medical dermatology encompasses disorders that are chronic and progressive, oftentimes contributing to internal disease states and requiring aggressive management. Essentially it means treating issues that may start with the skin but can cause further health problems whether it be internally or externally. Medical dermatology services focus on treating individuals who may experience a demised quality of life due to skin manifestations.
Our oncologic dermatology services address localized skin cancer lesions as well as metastatic disease. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Skin cancers, if left untreated, can be harmful and disfiguring. However, with early detection and treatment, many can be cured.
When appropriately suited, we work closely with our Mohs' micrographic surgeon who specializes in unique surgical techniques used in the eradication of skin cancer. Using this procedure, malignant skin lesions are removed in thin pie-shaped pieces and examined immediately under a microscope to determine if all malignant tissue was removed. This allows the surgeon to know right away whether or not treatment was successful when removing a tumor.
As a routine part of our exams, we look for irregularities in the skin that may look to be precancerous growths. By helping patients notice these areas early, treatment can be much more effective.
We offer our patients the following aesthetic services and products:
Botox - a protein placed by our dermatologist into the facial muscles to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines and can be effective between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes. This non-surgical treatment relaxes the muscles and helps eliminate frown lines with minimal down time.
Soft Tissue Sculpture - a smooth gel filler that helps diminish wrinkles around the mouth and nose. It can be used for multiple areas such as smile lines, marionette lines and vertical lip lines. In this non-surgical treatment, one of the dermatologists injects the filler which restores volume to areas that have lost structure over time causing wrinkles and folds.
