Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery precisely removes skin cancers with 99% cure rates. Our fellowship-trained surgeons use microscopic guidance to eliminate cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue. This outpatient procedure is ideal for facial cancers and complex cases, offering minimal scarring and excellent cosmetic outcomes through specialized reconstruction techniques.
BOTOX Injections
FDA-approved BOTOX injections temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. Our certified providers target frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles with precise dosing. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months, with follow-up treatments maintaining smoother, more youthful skin appearance.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels improve skin texture and tone by removing damaged outer layers. We offer VI Peel and other formulations to address sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines. Treatments require minimal downtime while promoting collagen production for brighter, more even-toned skin through controlled exfoliation.
Laser Therapy
Our advanced laser systems target various skin concerns including pigmentation, vascular lesions, and textural irregularities. Technologies like IPL photofacials and fractional CO2 lasers stimulate collagen production while addressing sun spots, rosacea, and early aging signs through non-invasive energy delivery.
Acne Treatment
Customized acne treatment plans combine topical medications, oral therapies, and in-office procedures. Our providers address mild to severe acne using prescription-strength treatments and chemical peels. We develop long-term skincare routines to prevent breakouts while improving scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation through targeted interventions.

I see Kathy LejaMeyer. She is amazing I am not a small woman and a full body exam is not something to look forward to. But Kathy makes it so comfortable for me. She has a great personality as well as her assistant. The front desk crew are amazing too. I would probably skip going if it wasn't for the great people that work there. With skin cancer a concern it's the place to be taken care of. Thanks to all of you.

Wow! I have always used advanced dermatology for my cosmetic needs, Botox, fillers etc. I have always been pleased with the providers I have used at Advanced Dermatology. However, I would like to give a shout out to a new provider I used named Amy. She is top-notch and took so much time to get my filler injected perfectly. I'll definitely see Amy again. Thanks for having such talented providers!

Very accommodating and listened to everything I had to say. I was hesitant on going in but once I arrived and was seen I felt very comfortable. The doctor who saw me made me feel very comfortable as well and at ease, she took her time in reviewing my problem. I will have no problem calling them in the future should I need to, feels good to feel cared for- thanks doc! Tricia
