Skin Cancer Treatment
Our fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons provide the highest cure rate for skin cancer using advanced micrographic surgery. This precise technique removes cancerous tissue while preserving healthy skin, ideal for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and recurrent cases. Patients benefit from early detection through comprehensive skin exams and personalized treatment plans combining surgical and non-surgical approaches.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery offers 98-99% cure rates for common skin cancers. Our surgeons remove tumors layer-by-layer, examining each under a microscope to ensure complete removal while minimizing scarring. This outpatient procedure is particularly effective for facial cancers, recurrent tumors, and difficult-to-treat locations, combining precision with cosmetic considerations during wound reconstruction.
Medical Dermatology
We treat over 3,000 skin conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. Our board-certified dermatologists use evidence-based treatments like biologics, phototherapy, and targeted medications to manage chronic conditions. Specialized services include patch testing for allergy identification and pediatric dermatology for family-wide care.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our cosmetic services address aging concerns with FDA-approved injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. Laser treatments reduce pigmentation and vascular lesions while skin tightening procedures restore facial contours. Custom skincare regimens and chemical peels improve texture, with bridal packages offering pre-event enhancements for special occasions.
Aesthetic Treatments
Advanced aesthetic technologies deliver non-invasive improvements for skin texture and tone. DiamondGlow facials exfoliate while infusing serums, and laser genesis treatments reduce redness and scarring. Microneedling stimulates collagen production, and targeted therapies address hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and unwanted hair removal with lasting results.

Went here for the first time and had the absolute best experience. There was no wait, and I was in and out in less than 30 minutes total. The nurse and FNP both had amazing customer service and were so friendly. The care was excellent and I got all of my questions answered. Going to to doctor is never fun, but it doesn't get better than my experience at Georgia Skin Cancer and Aesthetic Dermatology! Happy to have found such an amazing dermatology practice!

I love Georgia Skin Cancer and Aesthetic. One of my favorite features is that they will send you a text if an earlier appointment becomes available. Every doctor's office should do this. My wait time was minimal since I could fill out all of the forms online. Hope was very professional and quick. We have been coming to them for years and I highly recommend them!

This office created the perfect experience. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, professional and made me feel well taken care of. From the office staff to the assistant to the PA, I couldn't ask for a better experience. The office is immaculate, very conscious of good Covid practices. I wish all doctor's offices would answer the phone promptly, answer questions with a smile, care about their patients and do exactly like this office does. I left another practice that I've been going to and I am so glad I did. I finally found what I look for in the medical profession. High accolades and many thanks!

Experienced a level of care, experience, and efficiency far beyond my expectations. The various portions of my visit were handled by different individuals but the results were melded almost seamlessly. Dr. Campbell worked quickly on my skin cancer and apparently cleaned it out in one run through. Special thanks to Ashleigh who gently handled sew up and bandaging and for her sharing of desired post procedure.

I (Wanda) have been seeing Melissa Cannon for years and just absolutely adore her. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and just makes all of my appointments as pleasant as they can possibly be. I met Jamie, her assistant for the first time yesterday and she was just awesome! GREAT team, awesome office and they made my experience very pleasant!

We have had all pleasant, encouraging, wonderful appointments with this entire practice. I recommend them consistently to everyone who asks. My teenager started seeing Chris Brune, PA, a year ago, and his skin has become more and more clear with every appointment and step we've taken. He gets so many compliments on his skin as a 16 year old boy! It's truly amazing. I love that Chris shows genuine interest in his well-being every time we see him and that he has not only prescribed medicine, but has made diet and behavioral recommendations as well. He takes all the time we need and answers every question thoughtfully. We are so grateful.
