In the Christie Clinic Department of Dermatology...

The Christie Clinic Department of Dermatology evaluates and treats patients with a variety of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, hives, rashes, psoriasis, warts, and benign and malignant skin growths such as moles and skin cancer. Our providers can also treat other types of concerns such as cysts, rosacea, excessive sweating, alopecia, and vitiligo.

We have a variety of treatment options, including the use of medications, topical creams, surgery, or the use of laser and phototherapy treatments. Our board-certified Mohs surgeon can perform Mohs Micrographic Surgery, a skin cancer treatment that is proven to have a higher cure rate while leaving more healthy tissue intact.

Seeing a dermatologist is advisable for any concerning skin changes, persistent skin conditions, hair loss, or cosmetic concerns that affect your well-being and confidence. Early intervention and proper treatment can help alleviate symptoms and maintain healthy skin. Consider booking a consultation with the Department of Dermatology if you have concerns about:

Skin Changes: Any noticeable changes in moles, freckles, or skin growths, such as changes in size, color, shape, or texture, should be evaluated by a dermatologist to rule out skin cancer or other serious conditions.
Acne: Persistent or severe acne that does not respond to over-the-counter treatments may require prescription medications or other interventions from a dermatologist.
Skin Conditions: Conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or dermatitis can cause discomfort and affect quality of life. A dermatologist can provide diagnosis and treatment options to manage these conditions effectively.
Hair Loss: Experiencing excessive hair loss or thinning can be distressing. A dermatologist can determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatments.

Additionally, we offer a variety of cosmetic services and medical-grade skincare products that can restore your skin’s appearance and renew your self-confidence. Our team of medical professionals can perform Botox, Coolsculpting, facial fillers, facials, laser hair removal, microneedling, and more. We are here to help you look and feel your best in the skin you’re in. Consultations are available by booking online.
