• Medical Weight Loss
  The most common reason for loose, sagging skin is aging. Weight loss can also lead to this skin issue. When skin is filled with collagen, it is firm enough to snap back into place easily. As collagen production slows with aging, skin loses this ability and begins to sag. Our board-certified dermatologists routinely treat sagging skin of the eyelids, jowls, chin and neck area. Treatments for sagging skin work by restoring two important proteins manufactured in the dermis: elastin and collagen. These elements provide the skin with the ability to bounce back when stretched and help the skin maintain its structure and firmness.

• Sleep Disorders
  Itchy skin, also known as pruritus, can be extremely uncomfortable and debilitating in some cases. Itchy skin usually appears to be red, rough or bumpy, but can also look normal. It can affect small or large areas of the skin and can last a long time or be intense. Many people find relief with calming lotions and moisturizers, but it is important for your dermatologist to investigate the cause of your itchy skin, which could be due to a variety of health concerns. Health conditions leading to itchy skin could include skin diseases, internal diseases, nerve disorders, psychiatric diseases, allergic reactions or pregnancy. Itchy skin lasting for more than six weeks can lead to sleep disorders or depression, so it should be taken seriously.
• Emergency Care
  When you should take your child to a dermatologist depends on several factors, including if your child has a condition or is showing symptoms of a condition. If a child has no dermatological conditions, parents can bring them in for their first screening between the ages of 12 and 15. In these early teenage years, they are beginning to battle acne, making it a prime opportunity for an initial skin screening. If your child is presenting symptoms of a condition such as eczema or rashes, our dermatologists can see infants and children of any age. If your child is experiencing a fever or other acute symptoms such as vomiting and nausea along with a skin condition, you should go to an emergency department.

• Botox
  For immediate, dramatic results, many patients with loose, sagging skin receive facial injectables such as fillers and neuromodulators to achieve the appearance of tighter, more contoured skin. Fillers, such as Juvederm® and Restylane®, are used to add subtle volume to areas of the face that are sagging. They can also be used to add natural-looking fullness to the lips. Neuromodulators, such as BOTOX® and Dysport®, are used to smooth away wrinkles and creases by relaxing the facial muscles that cause them.

  This is the most aggressive laser resurfacing treatment we offer for acne scars that delivers dramatic results, especially on boxcar acne scars and other wrinkling skin issues.

This treatment results in boosted collagen formation and an improvement in skin texture. As skin heals, new skin that is both smoother and tighter forms.

• Acne Treatment
  For acne that does not respond to these treatments, our dermatologists can offer other solutions to help identify the best acne treatments for you. The severity of your acne is a factor in determining the best acne treatment. For example, severe cases of acne may respond best to prescription oral contraceptives to inhibit endogenous hormone production or prescription antibiotics to fight infection in the follicle. Inhibitors of excess oil production, such as Retin-A or Accutane, could also help reduce severe acne. Additional treatments for acne offered in our office include...

• Lesions
  Actinic keratosis can be treated individually in several ways. When lesions are more numerous and are found on a larger area of the body, spot treatment cannot address the multiple pre-cancers that may not be visible yet. These invisible and lurking pre-cancers have an abnormal surface, so the chemical compound from photodynamic therapy penetrates into the abnormal cells, effectively treating these areas of concern.
• Chemical Peels
  A superficial chemical peel treatment helps exfoliate and accelerate the removal of dead skin cells. They have been shown to prevent the breakdown of collagen and stimulate the process of natural skin renewal. Unlike the deeper phenol of a TCA peel, the depth of penetration is kept to the epidermal or superficial dermis, eliminating the crusting or peeling that may happen with deeper peels. Learn More
