With our personalized treatment plans, we strive to help you achieve long-term results and improve your overall quality of life.
Comprehensive Skin Evaluations
Before recommending any treatment, our dermatologists conduct thorough skin evaluations to assess your specific needs. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique skin type and concerns. From analyzing your skin’s texture and tone to identifying any underlying conditions, our evaluations provide the foundation for effective and targeted treatments.
Assessing Skin Texture and Tone
During a comprehensive skin evaluation, our dermatologists carefully examine your skin’s texture and tone. This involves looking for any irregularities such as roughness, dryness, or uneven pigmentation. By assessing your skin’s texture and tone, we can determine the most appropriate treatments to improve its overall appearance and health.
Identifying Underlying Conditions
Our dermatologists are trained to identify and diagnose various skin conditions that may be contributing to your skin concerns. This may include conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or dermatitis. By pinpointing the underlying cause of your skin issues, we can develop a targeted treatment plan to address the root of the problem and provide long-term relief.
Advanced Acne Treatments
Acne can be a frustrating and confidence-damaging condition, but our team at Parks Dermatology is here to help. We offer a range of advanced acne treatments, including topical medications, oral medications, and innovative procedures such as laser therapy and chemical peels. Our goal is to not only clear your current breakouts but also prevent future flare-ups and minimize the appearance of acne scars.
Topical Medications
Topical medications are often the first line of defense against acne. Our dermatologists may prescribe topical treatments that contain ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids. These medications work by unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and regulating oil production, ultimately helping to clear and prevent acne breakouts.
Oral Medications
In more severe cases of acne, our dermatologists may recommend oral medications to control and manage breakouts. These medications may include antibiotics, hormonal treatments, or isotretinoin. Oral medications can help reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and regulate hormone levels, leading to improved skin clarity and reduced acne symptoms.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a highly effective treatment option for stubborn acne and acne scars. This innovative procedure uses targeted laser energy to destroy bacteria, reduce oil production, and stimulate collagen production. Laser therapy can significantly improve the appearance of acne and acne scars, leaving you with smoother and clearer skin.
Anti-Aging Solutions
As we age, our skin undergoes various changes, including the development of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. At Parks Dermatology, we offer a variety of anti-aging treatments designed to rejuvenate and restore your skin’s youthful appearance. From injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to non-invasive procedures like microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing, we can help you turn back the clock and regain your confidence.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Botox and dermal fillers are popular non-surgical treatments for reducing the signs of aging. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in smoother and younger-looking skin. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, restore lost volume and plumpness to areas of the face that have become hollow or saggy. These treatments can effectively diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that helps to improve skin texture and tone. During the procedure, a handheld device sprays tiny crystals onto the skin, gently removing the outer layer of dead skin cells. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes cell turnover, resulting in a fresher and more youthful complexion.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a more intensive anti-aging treatment that uses laser technology to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production. This procedure can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and other signs of aging. Laser resurfacing can also improve skin texture and tone, giving you a smoother and more youthful complexion.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Early detection is crucial when it comes to skin cancer. Our dermatologists are trained to perform thorough skin cancer screenings to identify any suspicious moles or lesions. If necessary, we can perform biopsies and provide appropriate treatment options, ensuring that you receive the best care possible for this potentially life-threatening condition.
Visual Examination
During a skin cancer screening, our dermatologists visually inspect your skin from head to toe, looking for any abnormal growths or changes in existing moles or lesions. They will carefully examine areas that are commonly exposed to the sun, as well as those that are typically covered, as skin cancer can occur in both sun-exposed and protected areas.
Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows our dermatologists to examine skin lesions in more detail. It involves using a handheld device called a dermatoscope, which provides magnification and illumination, enabling our dermatologists to visualize the skin’s structures more clearly. Dermoscopy helps to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, aiding in early detection and accurate diagnosis.
Biopsy
If a suspicious mole or lesion is identified during the screening, our dermatologists may recommend a biopsy. This involves removing a small sample of the skin tissue for further examination under a microscope. A biopsy helps to determine if the growth is cancerous or non-cancerous, enabling us to provide appropriate treatment and care.
Treatment of Skin Conditions
From eczema and psoriasis to rosacea and dermatitis, Parks Dermatology offers comprehensive treatment options for a wide range of skin conditions. Our dermatologists will diagnose your condition accurately and recommend the most effective treatments, including topical medications, oral medications, and lifestyle modifications, to manage and control your symptoms.
Topical Medications
Topical medications are often the first-line treatment for various skin conditions. Our dermatologists may prescribe creams, ointments, or lotions that contain ingredients such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or antifungals. These medications help reduce inflammation, relieve itching, and control the underlying cause of the condition.
Oral Medications
In more severe cases, oral medications may be necessary to manage and control skin conditions. Our dermatologists may prescribe antibiotics, antihistamines, or oral corticosteroids to alleviate symptoms and suppress the immune response. Oral medications can help reduce inflammation, itching, and discomfort associated with certain skin conditions.
Lifestyle Modifications
For many skin conditions, lifestyle modifications can play a significant role in managing symptoms and preventing flare-ups. Our dermatologists will provide guidance on skincare routines, dietary changes, and environmental factors that may be exacerbating your condition. By making appropriate lifestyle modifications, you can better manage your skin condition and improve your overall quality of life.
Laser Hair Removal
Tired of the constant hassle of shaving or waxing? Our advanced laser hair removal treatments can provide a long-term solution. Using state-of-the-art technology, our experienced technicians can target unwanted hair follicles, resulting in smooth and hair-free skin. Say goodbye to razors and hello to effortless beauty!
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicles, delivering concentrated light energy that destroys the follicles and prevents future hair growth. The laser selectively targets the hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Over multiple sessions, laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth in the treated areas.
The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal offers numerous benefits compared to traditional hair removal methods. Firstly, it provides long-lasting results, with many patients experiencing permanent hair reduction after a series of treatments. Additionally, laser hair removal is precise, allowing for the removal of unwanted hair from specific areas without affecting the surrounding skin. The procedure is also relatively painless, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Scar Revision
Whether caused by acne, surgery, or injury, scars can affect your self-esteem and confidence. At Parks Dermatology, we offer scar revision treatments to minimize the appearance ofscars and improve the texture and tone of your skin. Our options include laser therapy, chemical peels, microneedling, and surgical interventions, all tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Laser Therapy for Scar Reduction
Laser therapy is a highly effective treatment for scar reduction. It works by delivering targeted laser energy to the scar tissue, stimulating collagen production and breaking down scar tissue to improve the appearance of the scar. Laser therapy can help reduce the size, color, and texture of scars, resulting in smoother and more even skin.
Chemical Peels for Scar Improvement
Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation and renewal of the skin’s surface. This process helps to fade the appearance of scars by removing the damaged outer layer of skin and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells. Chemical peels can be customized to different depths, allowing for precise treatment of various types of scars.
Microneedling for Scar Remodeling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves creating tiny microchannels in the skin using a device with fine needles. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to remodel scar tissue and improve its texture and appearance. Microneedling can be effective for a range of scar types, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
Surgical Interventions for Severe Scarring
In cases of severe scarring, surgical interventions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Our dermatologists are skilled in various surgical techniques, such as scar excision, skin grafting, and tissue expansion, which can help improve the appearance of scars and restore a more natural skin contour.

Children’s skin requires specialized care, and our team at Parks Dermatology is here to provide just that. Our pediatric dermatologists have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating various skin conditions that affect infants, children, and teenagers. From eczema and acne to birthmarks and rashes, we are dedicated to keeping your child’s skin healthy and happy.

Our pediatric dermatologists are experts in managing eczema and will develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your child’s symptoms.

We offer specialized acne treatments tailored to teenagers, including topical medications, oral medications, and lifestyle recommendations. Our goal is to help your teenager achieve clear and healthy skin, improving their confidence and overall well-being.
Birthmark Evaluation and Treatment
Birthmarks are common skin abnormalities that can appear at birth or shortly after. Our pediatric dermatologists will carefully evaluate your child’s birthmark to determine if any treatment is necessary. Depending on the type and location of the birthmark, treatment options may include laser therapy, surgical removal, or observation if the birthmark is not causing any medical issues.
Rash Diagnosis and Treatment
Rashes can be a source of discomfort and concern for both children and parents. Our pediatric dermatologists are skilled in diagnosing and treating various types of rashes, such as contact dermatitis, allergic reactions, and viral or bacterial infections. We will provide appropriate treatment to relieve your child’s symptoms and promote healing of the skin.

Our board-certified dermatologists combine their expertise with the latest advancements in cosmetic dermatology to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Chemical Peels for Skin Rejuvenation

Our dermatologists will select the appropriate chemical peel solution and customize the treatment to address your specific concerns. Chemical peels can be performed at different depths, ranging from superficial to deep, depending on the desired outcome.
Microdermabrasion for Smooth Skin
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that helps to improve skin texture and tone. During the procedure, a handheld device sprays tiny crystals onto the skin, gently removing the outer layer of dead skin cells. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes cell turnover, resulting in a fresher and more youthful complexion.
Dermal Fillers for Facial Volume Restoration
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Our dermatologists will carefully assess your facial structure and recommend the most suitable dermal filler for your needs. Whether you want to plump up your lips, soften deep creases, or enhance your cheekbones, dermal fillers can help you achieve natural-looking results.
Surgical Interventions for Facial Rejuvenation
