Creating Clear, Healthy Skin with Dermatology Services at Integrated Aesthetics

The skin is your first line of defense against disease. It protects your other organs, regulates your body temperature, and relays messages about your internal health. A skin condition could indicate a serious underlying health issue; for example, signs of diabetes and heart disease can first appear on the skin.

We understand that a skin condition can negatively affect your health, appearance, and well-being. Our integrated approach to enhancing and maintaining your natural beauty includes dermatology services for the skin, hair, and nails, offering the best care for the organ that cares for you.

Acne

Acne is a troublesome but common skin condition. Luckily, it is highly treatable after determining the cause of your acne and its severity. Treatment options include:

Topical treatments
Oral prescription medications
Extractions, chemical peels, and laser treatments

Acne Scars

When acne heals, it may leave a permanent scar that worsens with age. While acne scarring is challenging to treat, it is possible with treatments that include:

Dark Circles Under the Eyes

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for dark circles under the eyes because of many causes. Darkness under the eyes can be addressed with treatments including:

Dry Skin

Dry skin occurs when your skin loses too much moisture, indicating that the barrier function is compromised. Environmental factors and inflammatory skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis and rosacea, often exacerbate the situation. Treatments include:

Female Hair Loss

Female-pattern hair loss may be due to hereditary hair loss, which is genetically predetermined, or hair shedding. Treatment options for either source include:

Male Hair Loss

Male-pattern hair loss is caused by androgens regulating hair growth, causing affected hairs to grow for a shorter period while diminishing in size. Male hair loss treatments include:

Topical minoxidil
Finasteride, an oral medication that helps to block androgen activity at the hair follicle
PRP or PRF
Hair transplantation

Hyperhidrosis

People with hyperhidrosis have overactive sweat glands that secrete excessively in response to social or physical stress, and the condition is genetic.

Hyperhidrosis treatments include:

Prescription-strength antiperspirants
Oral medications
BOTOX
miraDry

Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin condition that often begins with a tendency to blush more easily. With time, that blush becomes permanent, involving the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin.

While there is not yet a cure for rosacea, we can treat the condition:

Lifestyle management, such as avoiding hot showers, hot beverages, spicy foods, and alcohol
A gentle, nourishing skincare regimen
Oral medications
Light therapy

Sun Damage

Chronic exposure to the sun or UV light causes changes in the skin, such as discoloration, thinning, and wrinkling. Dermatological treatments include:

Topical options such as good sunscreen, retinoids, and brightening agents
Chemical peels
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments
