Treatments
. Our staff doctors have expertise in treatment and prevention for all of
dermatologic needs in our community. Our clinic uses both topical and
oral medications as well as procedural modalities such as:
. Phototherapy
. Also called light therapy, phototherapy exposes the skin to lasers,
fluorescent lamps, and ultraviolet or infrared radiation to treat
diseases. Phototherapy may be used on the whole body or smaller
areas.
. Erbium YAG laser treatment
. Cosmetic Procedures
. The latest in cosmetic procedures are offered at the clinic. This includes:
. Lasers to treat scars (traumatic, surgical, burn or acne scars), brown age
spots, and reverse the signs of sun damage.
. Laser for facial rejuvenation and skin tightening.
. Chemical peels are performed to improve skin tone and appearance.
. Soft tissue augmentation to smooth facial lines, creases, and folds is
available. Botox® is offered to smooth fine lines and wrinkles of the face.
. Dermoscopy
Also referred to as epiluminescence microscopy, dermoscopy is a noninvasive
bedside diagnostic procedure whereby a hand held instrument is placed on the
skin by the clinician to evaluate certain growths. This process greatly adds to
diagnostic accuracy, particularly in the evaluation of pigmented lesions, and is a
tremendous tool in the early detection of malignant melanoma.
