Mohs Surgery
Mohs Micrographic Surgery precisely removes skin cancers layer by layer, preserving healthy tissue while achieving up to 99% cure rates. Our fellowship-trained surgeons specialize in treating basal and squamous cell carcinomas, particularly on visible areas like the face. This outpatient procedure under local anesthesia ensures minimal scarring and optimal cosmetic outcomes, making it ideal for high-risk or recurrent skin cancers.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our cosmetic dermatology services address aging skin, wrinkles, and uneven texture through injectables, laser therapies, and surgical procedures. Options include BOTOX, dermal fillers, eyelid surgery, and facelifts. These treatments combine medical expertise with aesthetic artistry to enhance natural features while maintaining skin health and vitality for long-lasting, youthful results.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser therapies target pigmentation, vascular issues, and textural irregularities using technologies like IPL Photofacial and Fraxel DUAL. These non-invasive treatments stimulate collagen production, improve tone and texture, and address sun damage with minimal downtime. Customized protocols ensure safe, effective results for all skin types.
Medical Dermatology
We diagnose and manage chronic and acute skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, acne, and hair loss. Our evidence-based approach combines topical treatments, systemic medications, and lifestyle guidance to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Regular monitoring ensures optimal management of complex dermatological concerns.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter complexion. Solutions ranging from mild alpha hydroxy acids to deeper trichloroacetic acid peels address fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. This non-surgical treatment enhances skin texture and tone with customizable intensity for different skin concerns.

I see Kathy LejaMeyer. She is amazing I am not a small woman and a full body exam is not something to look forward to. But Kathy makes it so comfortable for me. She has a great personality as well as her assistant. The front desk crew are amazing too. I would probably skip going if it wasn't for the great people that work there. With skin cancer a concern it's the place to be taken care of. Thanks to all of you.

Wow! I have always used advanced dermatology for my cosmetic needs, Botox, fillers etc. I have always been pleased with the providers I have used at Advanced Dermatology. However, I would like to give a shout out to a new provider I used named Amy. She is top-notch and took so much time to get my filler injected perfectly. I'll definitely see Amy again. Thanks for having such talented providers!

Very accommodating and listened to everything I had to say. I was hesitant on going in but once I arrived and was seen I felt very comfortable. The doctor who saw me made me feel very comfortable as well and at ease, she took her time in reviewing my problem. I will have no problem calling them in the future should I need to, feels good to feel cared for- thanks doc! Tricia

Amy is absolutely wonderful, her MA was equally as wonderful (I'm sorry her name slipped my mind). Skin checks are always a little uneasy especially after just coming home from Cancun. . I live in the valley but choose the north side office specifically for the amazing group of people that work there. Keep being awesome. Caroline

I was very happy with my visit and was treated with respect by all I came in contact with. They are very professional and very courteous in treating a patient. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to this office. The visit put my mind at ease and I left there feeling great with the prognosis. I truly appreciate the professionals that they are.

Highly professional staff! I have complete confidence in Dr. Staci Hestdalen. She takes the time to completely address any concerns I might have, and is very thorough. She is an excellent physician, and I would recommend her without reservation.
