At Mountain Pine Dermatology, we offer a full spectrum of dermatological services, recognizing that skin health encompasses both medical necessities and cosmetic desires. Our comprehensive approach allows us to address a wide range of skin concerns, from potentially life-threatening conditions to aesthetic enhancements that boost confidence and well-being.

Medical Dermatology: The foundation of our practice lies in diagnosing and treating skin diseases and disorders. This includes common conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis, as well as more serious issues such as skin cancer. Our advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options ensure that we can provide the most appropriate care for each individual case. We also offer specialized treatments for chronic skin conditions, helping patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Skin Cancer Services: As rates of skin cancer continue to rise, early detection and effective treatment are more critical than ever. Our Mohs surgery specialists offer this highly effective technique for treating certain types of skin cancer, providing the highest cure rates while preserving the maximum amount of healthy tissue. We also provide regular skin cancer screenings, empowering our patients to take proactive steps in their skin health.

Our team is experienced in treating a variety of pediatric skin conditions, from common issues like warts and birthmarks to more complex disorders.

Cosmetic Dermatology: While not medically necessary, cosmetic treatments can significantly impact a person's self-esteem and quality of life. We offer a range of non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures to address signs of aging, improve skin texture, and enhance overall appearance. These services include Botox injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments. Our approach to cosmetic dermatology is always to enhance natural beauty while maintaining a look that's uniquely you.
