Services

General Dermatology

We diagnose and treat common dermatologic conditions across all ages, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and skin infections. Our team provides comprehensive care for chronic conditions like rosacea and hair loss, alongside routine skin checks. Patients receive personalized treatment plans combining medical expertise with patient education to manage both acute and long-term skin health needs effectively.

Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery offers precise skin cancer treatment with tissue-sparing techniques, achieving up to 99% cure rates. Our fellowship-trained surgeons remove cancer layer-by-layer, examining margins microscopically to ensure complete removal while preserving healthy tissue. This outpatient procedure is ideal for facial cancers, recurrent tumors, and aggressive subtypes requiring maximal functional and cosmetic preservation.

Cosmetic Dermatology

Our cosmetic services address appearance concerns through non-surgical interventions like Botox, fillers, and laser therapies. Treatments target fine lines, age spots, vascular lesions, and skin texture improvements. Personalized consultations ensure solutions align with patients' aesthetic goals, budget, and lifestyle, with minimal downtime required for most procedures performed in our Lexington, KY facility.

Skin Cancer Screenings

We conduct thorough skin examinations to detect early signs of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. High-risk patients receive specialized monitoring, with suspicious lesions biopsied or scheduled for treatment. Education on sun protection and self-examination techniques empowers patients to maintain skin health between annual professional screenings conducted in our Lexington clinic.

Laser Treatments

Advanced laser therapies target pigmentation irregularities, vascular lesions, and textural imperfections. Our board-certified providers customize treatments for age spots, broken blood vessels, acne scars, and fine lines. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, with protocols designed to minimize discomfort and recovery time while enhancing overall skin appearance.
