Dermatology Highland Park, NJ

Moderate to severe cystic or nodular acne can be painful and leave lasting scars, both visibly on the skin, and emotionally. For patients whose acne has not responded to other treatments, Accutane can be an effective long-term solution. 

This treatment works deep in the pores to reduce facial oil production at the source, preventing the clogged pores that cause acne. Your dermatologist will help you understand your treatment options and create a custom treatment plan to best meet your goals.

Mohs surgery is an effective treatment for the most common forms of skin cancer. During this outpatient surgery, your dermatologist performs several rounds of cutting away small amounts of skin to remove cancerous cells, then checks each sample for cancerous cells while you wait. 

With an up to 99% success rate for high-risk skin cancers, Mohs surgery allows the dermatologist to preserve healthy tissue while ensuring all cancerous cells are removed. With early intervention, managing and beating skin cancer is possible.

This simple, painless examination allows your dermatologist to detect melanoma right away, which can make the difference between a small procedure to remove the cancer, and a more serious disease with the potential to spread. Dermatologists recommend regular yearly skin cancer screenings for most adults.

If you have noticed new growth in moles, spots, or birthmarks, or sores on the skin that are not healing properly, a skin cancer screening should be scheduled without delay.
