Skin Exams and Early Detection

Southern Arizona has some of the highest UV exposure in the country, and regular skin exams are one of the most valuable services we provide. A full-body skin check allows us to identify suspicious moles, precancers, and early skin cancers when they are most treatable. We use dermoscopy and in-office biopsies when needed to reach an accurate diagnosis quickly.

Treatments That Support Healthy Skin

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include prescription topical or oral medications, cryotherapy, lesion removal, or advanced light-based therapies. We also offer HydraFacial MD, a gentle, no-downtime treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates congested or dull skin. For patients who want to improve the lasting effects of skin conditions, our aesthetic services include acne scar treatment, BBL Hero for redness and sun damage, and miraDry for underarm sweating.

Personalized, Physician-Led Care

Our practice has served Tucson since 1996, and we take pride in treating every patient as an individual. We explain your diagnosis clearly, review all of your options, and build a plan that fits your health, lifestyle, and goals.
