Moles are brown or black growths, usually round or oval, that can appear anywhere on the skin. They can be rough or smooth, flat or raised, single or in multiples.

Skin Cancer Treatment

Skin cancer is the most common form of human cancers, affecting more than one million Americans every year. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their lives.

microneedling dermatology alamo heights san antonio texas

Microneedling

A-list celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston have been known to sing the praises of microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy), a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that pricks tiny holes over the face and neck with microscopic needles, to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin for tighter, fresher looking skin. 

PRP Therapy

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a form of regenerative medicine that helps to turbo charge healing by enriching a small sample of a person’s blood with their own platelets. Dermatologists use PRP therapy for anti-aging treatments to help slow down the signs of aging caused by fine lines and wrinkles.
utherapy dermatology alamo heights san antonio texas

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery for lifting loose, sagging skin around the neck, chest, chin and brow area. The procedure is FDA approved, and uses ultrasound technology to tighten skin and ease fine lines and wrinkles, without cuts or scarring. Contact the dermatologists at Alamo Heights Dermatology to learn more about the benefits of Ultherapy and non-surgical skin care treatments.
wrinkles

Wrinkles

Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. They occur most frequently in areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, back of the hands and forearms. Over time, skin gets thinner, drier and less elastic. Ultimately, this causes wrinkles – either fine lines or deep furrows. In addition to sun exposure, premature aging of the skin is associated with smoking, heredity and skin type (higher incidence among people with fair hair, blue-eyes and light skin).

There are a variety of reasons patients may see a dermatologist for a skin surgery. You may have a skin cancer that requires excision, or perhaps you have a benign growth such as a cyst or a lipoma (growth under the skin comprised of fatty tissue) that has become symptomatic or bothersome.  Regardless of the reason, you will feel comfortable with the training and experience the Alamo Heights Dermatology team offers to perform your surgical dermatology needs.
