FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a skin cancer screening?
We recommend an annual full-body skin exam for most adults. If you have a personal or family history of skin cancer, fair skin, or significant sun exposure, we may recommend more frequent screenings every 6–12 months.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans for medical dermatology visits and procedures. Cosmetic treatments are typically not covered by insurance. Our team will verify your benefits before your appointment.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive skin evaluation, discussion of your concerns and goals, and a personalized treatment plan. Please bring a list of any medications, your insurance card, and arrive 15 minutes early to complete paperwork.
How long do cosmetic treatment results last?
Results vary by treatment. Neurotoxins typically last 3–4 months, dermal fillers 6–18 months depending on the product, and laser treatments often provide long-lasting results after a series of sessions. We will discuss expected longevity during your consultation.
Is Mohs surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Most patients report minimal discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.
Can you treat acne scars?
Yes, we offer several effective treatments for acne scars including microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and PRP therapy. A combination approach often yields the best results, and we tailor the plan to your specific skin type.
