Services

We provide a number of skin treatments. Some of the most frequent problems we treat are skin cancers, psoriasis, acne, warts, and eczema.

For many of the diseases we treat, there are different treatment options or surgical services that we can provide.

 

Medical Dermatology

skin disorders

While other practices focus on cosmetics, Dermatology Associates of Virginia takes pride in concentrating on straightforward, cost-effective treatment of medical skin diseases and exemplary surgical removal of skin cancers and other skin growths that require treatment. Our practice focuses on the management of skin diseases from the commonplace to the complex.

Surgery

Our physicians will work with you to determine which medical or surgical approach is best for you. Most surgical procedures can be performed in our outpatient office setting.

Cryosurgery (liquid nitrogen)

A commonly used procedure to treat warts, precancerous lesions, and some types of skin cancers. The freezing temperature results in the destruction of the affected tissue.

Electrosurgery

A frequently used form of surgery for the removal of benign and invasive skin lesions. Heat generated by the heated electrosurgical system destroys the affected tissue.

Excisional surgery

This procedure results in the complete removal of benign and malignant lesions when indicated. This also allows for microscopic analysis of the affected tissue. A certified dermatopathologist is on staff to provide expert pathologic diagnoses.

Mohs Surgery

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a highly effective technique used to treat skin cancer. It was developed by Frederic Mohs, MD in the 1930s at the University of Wisconsin. This treatment allows Mohs surgeons to remove cancerous areas while preserving the maximum amount of healthy tissue as possible. Only certain types of skin cancers and locations on the body are eligible for Mohs. Your dermatologist will work with you to determine if your skin cancer qualifies.

Blue Light

At four of our locations, we are equipped with a Blue Light device.

We provide treatment for skin diseases such as actinic keratoses (precancerous lesions) and acne. Levulan Kerastick is a topical solution that is used with blue light therapy. It provides another option for treatment of photo damaged skin.

Laser Services

Laser Services

We are pleased to offer our patients specialized laser services provided under the direct care of Dr. Carol Byrd at our Reynolds Crossing office. Dr. Byrd treats patients with a variety of skin care concerns.

Hair Removal

Over a series of treatments, dramatic, permanent hair reduction can be achieved. We offer three different lasers to remove unwanted hair. The Alexandrite and IPL systems are best for lighter skin and darker hair, and the Nd:Yag is safe for all skin tones.

Photo-Rejuvenation

Photo-rejuvenation uses IPL or Intense Pulsed Light to treat the entire face, chest, hands and other areas of the body leaving skin looking younger and feeling smooth. Using different wavelengths of light to target areas beneath the skin, IPL photo-rejuvenation leaves the outer layer of skin virtually untouched.

Vein Treatment

The Nd:Yag and KTP lasers are used to treat small blood vessels, angiomas, and telangeictasias on the face as well as spider veins on the body.

Cosmetic Services

Sclerotherapy

A procedure in which hypertonic saline is injected into the small vessels of the lower legs to destroy and eliminate these unsightly superficial veins.

Chemical Peel

A technique used to improve the appearance of the skin. A chemical solution is applied to the skin which causes it to peel off and allows new skin to regenerate.

Removal or destruction of benign asymptomatic growths.

Cosmetic services are generally not medically necessary in nature and therefore not filed with your insurance carrier. Payment in full will be required at the time the services are provided in our office.

Please note that some cosmetic services are only offered by certain physicians and not at all locations.
