Medical
SERVICES
Our dedicated board-certified dermatologists are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails.
Acne / Rosacea
Whether you are experiencing acne or rosacea for the first time or have been struggling for some time, our dermatologists will identify the causes of your breakouts and recommend the most suitable course of treatment.
Acne
Individually designed treatment strategy that is driven by the type of acne you have, your medical history and your preferences. Treatments range from prescription-strength topical medications, oral antibiotics, hormonal agents, oral isotretinoin and anti-inflammatory injections, to complementary in-office procedures such as chemical peels and lasers.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a skin condition in which patients may experience flushing, blushing, persistent facial redness, sandpapery skin texture, broken blood vessels, pimples and eye irritation. Treatments are selected based on the specific type of rosacea present and may include topical prescriptions, oral anti-inflammatory medications, isotretinoin, as well as in-office treatments such as IPL or VBeam.
Rashes
Rashes can appear unexpectedly and may be difficult to manage on your own. No matter the cause, our dermatologists have the knowledge and expertise to get your skin back on track.
Psoriasis
Evaluation and management of this chronic, immune-mediated systemic disease which affects the skin, nails, joints and circulatory system using the latest evidence-based topical or systemic (pill or biologic) therapies. Care may involve collaboration with a rheumatologist to manage psoriatic arthritis and with one’s primary care physician to optimize comorbidities. Our board-certified dermatologists are trained and qualified to manage the most cutting edge biologic therapies.
Eczema / Dermatitis
Eczema can present in patients of all ages and there are numerous types of eczema: atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, nummular eczema, dyshidrotic eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, stasis dermatitis, just to name a few. We will diagnosis the type of eczema at play and direct a treatment plan to achieve optimal control or clearance. We offer immunomodulatory therapies (pills and injections) for those with severe uncontrolled eczema.
Skin Cancers & Precancers
Comprehensive skin examinations are the best tool for early detection of skin cancer.
Actinic Keratoses
Actinic keratoses (AKs) are common skin precancers that with timely identification and management can be easily and successfully removed. When left untreated, a small subset may progress to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Treatment may involve cryotherapy (freezing), photodynamic therapy (PDT), topical chemotherapy or advanced chemical peels.
Skin Cancer
Our dermatologists are expertly-trained to identify and treat the most common types of skin cancers including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, as well as rare forms such as merkel cell carcinoma and cutaneous lymphomas. Management involves an evidenced-based selection of the most appropriate treatment option for an individual’s particular skin cancer, which may include curettage and electrodessication, excision, photodynamic therapy, topical chemotherapy, cryosurgery, radiation, Mohs surgery, immunotherapy or chemotherapy.
Full Body Skin Examination / Skin Cancer Screening
A meticulous, head-to-toe visual scan of the body with the dermatologist’s aid of a handheld dermatoscope to inspect the skin for abnormal moles and detection of skin cancers such as melanoma. A mapping of selected moles’ location, size and appearance is documented in the electronic medical chart for long-term monitoring.
Melasma
(Skin Discoloration)
Darkened patches of skin as a result of hormones, genetics and/or prolonged sun exposure. It can be difficult to treat and necessitates combination and maintenance therapy.
Hair Loss
In-depth evaluation to uncover the cause of hair loss, which at times involves labwork, trichoscopy (magnified evaluation of scalp and hair), trichogram (microscopic evaluation of hair follicles), and/or scalp biopsy. Based on that data, treatment is initiated to address causative factors and can include nutraceuticals, topical agents, oral tablets, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments.
Skin Infections
The skin is a natural reservoir for many friendly bacteria and yeast, but at times our skin can become overloaded by certain foreign invaders causing skin infections or infestations.
We can provide treatment to help manage:
• athlete’s foot • boils • cellulitis • chickenpox
• cold sores • folliculitis • genital herpes • genital warts
• hand-foot-and-mouth disease • head lice • herpes simplex
• insect bites • lyme disease • molluscum contagiosum • nail fungus
• ringworm • shingles • tinea versicolor • warts
