Our office specializes in the diagnosis and management of skin, hair, and nail disorders. This is a sizable task considering the skin is the largest organ of the body. No one is without skin; consequently, we treat men and women of myriad backgrounds, and all ages from infants to seniors.

From the day we enter this world, a number of conditions may afflict the skin. Eczema is one and can manifest as cradle cap, poison oak, and atopic dermatitis, among others. We specialize in recognizing the various types of eczema and distinguishing eczema from other rashes so that appropriate treatment is rendered.

Acne and warts are common problems which plague us from early on. While appearing predominantly in children and young adults, older individuals may suffer as well. With newer treatments available today, no one should have to go through life hampered by these maladies.

Growths of the skin are inevitable throughout life. Benign ones need to be distinguished from cancerous ones. A trained eye and certain specialized laboratory tests are many times necessary to make the distinction. If the growth requires removal, a number of different procedures are available in order to minimize scarring and achieve maximum cosmetic benefit.

Skin cancer threatens us all, and that's because the number one cause of skin cancer, the sun, is everywhere. Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma are the most common. Of these, melanoma is the most serious because it can kill quickly. Any mole that changes or appears different needs to be evaluated. When melanoma is diagnosed and treated early, it is entirely curable.

Healthy skin is the goal for which we strive. It begins with proper protection and that means being sun smart. Wear your sunscreen and protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. While we can correct many problems with the skin, the best correction is protection.

Our office offers both Botox and Sclerotherapy to keep you looking your best. Both procedures are performed in the office and produce little to no downtime. Below you will find detailed information regarding these procedures.

Small doses of a solution called Botox are injected directly into a specific muscle to diminish the muscle action. Botox is effective in the treatment of crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines.

Botox is the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified toxin produced by the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. By using extremely small doses of Botox injected directly into a specific muscle, the action of the muscle is weakened. As a result, the problem the muscle causes, such as a twitch, spasm, or wrinkle line, is eliminated.

Botox is most commonly injected into the crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines between the eyebrows. Frown lines are caused by the action of muscles called the glabellar complex. Injecting Botox into this complex weakens the ability to draw the eyebrows together when frowning. Similarly, injecting Botox into the frontalis muscle above the eyebrows and the orbicularis muscle around the eyes softens the harshness created by these muscles.

The treatment takes only a few minutes, and the results last between three to five months. When the lines begin to reappear, a simple retreatment is all that is necessary.

Spider veins in the legs can be unsightly and uncomfortable. Unwanted spider veins can be treated by injection of a solution that will cause them to disappear or become much smaller.

Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat unwanted blood vessels. A sclerosing solution is injected with a very fine needle directly into the blood vessel.
