Botox / Dysport / Xeomin / Juveau

Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Juveau are a group of neuromodulators that offer a quick, effective, and safe way to soften and improve unwanted frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Everyday use of muscles on our face leads to the development of lines that become deeper and more etched into our skin. These injections improve these lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them.


 

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a pain-free, non-invasive way to improve hyperpigmentation, treat acne, and rejuvenate your skin. We offer a variety of peels including alpha hydroxyl (glycolic) acid, beta hydroxyl (salicylic) acid, and retinol treatments. The choice of peel is tailored to your needs and skin concerns.


 

Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to erase unwanted lines, reclaim a more youthful appearance, and lift sagging areas with little to no downtime. In contrast to Botox, fillers work by restoring volume rather than by relaxing muscles. Common areas for filler treatments are the cheeks, smile lines, lips, under-eyes, chin and jawline. In certain cases, dermal fillers can offer a non-surgical lift. There are many different filler products and the choice of filler is tailored to the individual patient’s needs.

Dermatologic Surgery


 

Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialized surgical technique used to remove and cure skin cancer in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas. Mohs micrographic surgery allows for removal of the entire skin cancer while preserving the healthy and normal surrounding skin. The procedure allows for the highest cure rate, the lowest rate of recurrence, and because we are only removing cancerous tissue, it allows for the smallest amount of scarring.

By using the microscope, we are able to confirm complete removal of cancerous tissue while the patient waits in the office. Once the cancer is completely excised, Dr. Brown or Dr. Haimovic will discuss repair options which may include suturing the wound together or allowing it to heal on its own. We recommend having a consultation for evaluation prior to scheduling your Mohs surgery.


 

Ear Lobe Repair

Years of wear and tear from heavy earrings can cause your piercing to lengthen, preventing earrings from sitting properly on your ears. A simple office-based procedure can correct this issue and restore your ear lobes to their youthful appearance. A surgical consultation is necessary prior to scheduling the procedure.


 

Scar Revision

The appearance of scars may be improved with a variety of treatment modalities including laser, injections, or surgical revision. We recommend a consultation with Dr. Brown or Dr. Haimovic to determine the best treatment for you.


 

Skin Surgery

Skin surgery may be performed for medical or cosmetic indications. Removal of skin cancer by either excision, Mohs micrographic surgery, or electrodessication and curettage is one of our most common indications for skin surgery. We also perform surgical removal of benign moles, cysts and lipomas. To ensure patient comfort, local anesthesia is used prior to performing this in-office procedure.
