What is ThermiTight?
ThermiTight is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy to tighten the skin more aggressively than external therapy can do and less aggressively than plastic surgery.

This technique works to stimulate and renew collagen from the inside out. By applying energy from underneath the skin, it direct...

What Are Nail Diseases?
Much like how rapidly changing spots on one’s skin can indicate something dangerous like skin cancer, your fingernail health can be a sign that something more serious is lingering below the surface.

But with so many marks on your body, could you tell the difference between a freckle or a suspicious mole?

Suspicious moles, on the othe...
What is Actinic Keratosis?
Actinic keratosis (AK) is one of the most common issues we see in dermatology clinics. It’s evidence that the skin has had too much sun exposure.

If left untreated, these can develop into squamous cell carcinoma.
What Are the Symptoms of Actinic Keratoses?
Patients first notice a...
