- Mohs SurgeryMohs surgery is an innovative technique to remove certain skin cancers. The process involves the most minimal tissue removal of any other form of skin cancer treatment and has a success rate of 95%. Mohs surgeons have additional training that allows them to act as the pathologist and surgeon.
- Reconstructive SurgeryFor these cancers, common treatment methods may not be successful because they rely on the human eye to determine the extent of the cancer. These methods may remove too little cancer which can cause it to recur, spread, and require additional surgery. It can also result in the removal of too much healthy tissue and may cause unnecessary scarring. American College of Mohs Surgeons are fellowship-trained surgeons who have extensive training in skin cancer removal and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Sidney Smith, who is a member of the American College of Mohs Surgery, is able to perform the surgery and microscopic analysis in the same day to confirm that the cancer is completely removed.
- BotoxMinistered in a simple procedure with no-downtime. It relaxes dynamic wrinkles, those age-related lines that are caused by muscle contractions. In regards to safety, since 2002 over 13-million aesthetic procedures have been used for temporary treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines – vertical “frown lines” between the eyebrows and there has never been a single reported death linked to Botox®. Through the years facial expressions leave creases on certain areas of your face. You may have noticed lines between your eyebrows and at the corners of your eyes, and they may only be getting worse as time goes on. It happens to men and women – but for women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men’s, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent. Fortunately, BOTOX® Cosmetic smoothes and softens these lines, so you can enjoy renewed confidence in your appearance.

- MicrodermabrasionMicroneedling is minimally invasive and does not produce significant side-effects or require downtime for recovery. It is appropriate for all skin types and can be used anywhere on the body. During this procedure, tiny needles puncture the skin, a process that spurs natural healing. When the skin heals, it may appear smoother and more youthful looking. Microneedling is also called collagen induction therapy because during the healing process collagen is remodeled by the body within the injured skin. Patients often choose microneedling because it is “friendlier” than alternatives such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and various laser-assisted techniques. These other procedures can be harsh, require longer recovery periods, or cause hyperpigmentation in patients with certain skin types.
