Advanced skin cancer treatment and prevention

Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but it is also highly treatable when detected early. Our team provides state-of-the-art skin cancer treatment and emphasizes the importance of routine preventative care.

The importance of regular skin screenings

Early detection can save lives. The American Cancer Society recommends that individuals aged 20 to 40 undergo a complete skin examination every three years. If you are 40 or older, you should schedule a comprehensive skin check annually.

During these visits, our physicians educate patients on how to monitor their skin at home. We teach you what warning signs to look for, such as changes in the size, shape, or color of existing moles, or the appearance of new, unusual growths. Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays and scheduling regular exams are your best defenses against melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.

How to lower your skin cancer risk

Mohs micrographic surgery

If you receive a skin cancer diagnosis, you want the most effective treatment available. We proudly offer Mohs micrographic surgery, which is widely considered the single most effective technique for removing basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.

This highly precise method allows our specialized surgeons to remove tissue one thin layer at a time. Each layer is examined under a microscope during the surgery rather than afterward. This ensures that all cancer cells are entirely removed while preserving as much healthy, surrounding tissue as possible.

Transformative cosmetic dermatology solutions

Beyond medical treatments, we understand that you want your skin to look as vibrant as you feel. Our cosmetic dermatology offerings are designed to rejuvenate your appearance, smooth fine lines, and address signs of aging or sun damage.

Our cosmetic procedures include:

  • Botulinum toxins (Botox) for wrinkle reduction
  • Dermal fillers to restore facial volume
  • Laser skin resurfacing for acne scars, wrinkles, and dyspigmentation
  • Laser hair removal
  • Laser treatment for visible facial blood vessels
  • Latisse for eyelash growth
  • Advanced scar and stretch mark treatment
  • Sun spot and tattoo removal

Our experts will consult with you to understand your aesthetic goals and recommend the safest, most effective procedures to help you achieve a radiant, youthful complexion.

FAQs

We recommend an annual skin examination for adults over the age of 40, and an exam every three years for adults between 20 and 40. However, if you have a family history of skin cancer, a personal history of excessive sun exposure, or notice sudden changes in a mole, you should schedule an appointment immediately.

Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and medical conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails (such as eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer). Cosmetic dermatology focuses on elective procedures designed to enhance your appearance, such as laser treatments, Botox, and dermal fillers.

Mohs surgery is performed under local anesthesia, meaning the area being treated is completely numb. You should not feel pain during the procedure, though you may experience mild discomfort or soreness during the recovery process, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

This depends entirely on your specific health insurance plan. Many HMO plans require a referral from your primary care physician to see a specialist, while PPO plans often allow you to book directly. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify your coverage requirements before scheduling your visit.
