Dermatology in Frisco

Skin Checks and Mohs Surgery

When you visit us for dermatology in Frisco, we will always recommend getting an annual skin check. This is a 10-minute, life-saving skin assessment where we check your skin from head-to-toe for signs of skin cancer.

Skin cancer is highly treatable, especially when caught early by a skin specialist. If cancer is present, we can perform Mohs surgery, a ‌gold-standard skin cancer removal technique, to get you back to a healthy life with healthy skin. Mohs surgery cannot be performed on the same day as your skin check, but we will coordinate a time with you that fits your schedule.

We don’t simply check for skin cancer; we also teach you how to prevent it. This proactive approach to your skin’s health is paramount. Early detection through these routine examinations significantly improves treatment outcomes and offers peace of mind. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and care necessary to maintain healthy skin throughout the year.

Acne and Cystic Pimple Treatments

Acne stems from a wide range of factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, diet, certain medications, genetics, and much more. As part of our acne treatment, we determine the root-cause of blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, and other pimples, and create a personalized treatment plan to give you clear skin.

Your visit for dermatology in Frisco can also include a specialized solution for cystic acne, which can be much tougher to target than other forms. Cystic acne refers to large and inflammatory, pus-filled pimples that live deep under your skin. These often stem from a hormonal imbalance and can be cleared up with oral medications, strong retinoids, or Accutane therapy.

Rosacea Treatment and Lifestyle Guidance

Rosacea is a chronic condition that causes persistent skin discoloration (redness in lighter skin tones and dusky brown discoloration for darker skin tones). It also causes the following symptoms:

• A persistent warm feeling on your face
• Dry, swollen skin
• Thicker skin
• Dryness or rough skin texture
• Visible veins
• Acne-like breakouts
• Eye irritation

Currently, there is no known cause or solution for rosacea. However, many lifestyle factors can affect this condition, including:

• Diet – Eating spicy food or foods high in histamine (yogurt, cheese, and red wine are a few examples).
• Weather – Overexposure to the sun, warm temperatures, or even strong winds and cold temperatures can irritate your skin and ‌cause flare-ups.
• Stress – Stress triggers a spike in cortisol (your fight-or-flight hormone) which weakens your immune system. This can cause blood vessels to constrict and contribute to redness.

Our specialists in dermatology in Frisco can help you determine your triggers to avoid them for later.

We also provide laser treatments, like the Excel V or the BBL Photofacial, which harness the power of light to target and treat blood vessels, forcing them to contract and tighten. These devices can also reduce redness and other symptoms of rosacea.

Lesion Removal

Skin lesions and larger masses like cysts and lipomas do more than take a toll on your confidence; they also take a toll on the health of your skin. We provide lesion removal and excision to address these issues.

This treatment involves applying a local anesthetic and gently cutting out the small masses that are bothering you. Results last ‌a lifetime, meaning you can live with clearer, healthier skin after a simple hour-long procedure.
