Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Using microscopic examination of surgical margins, this outpatient procedure achieves nearly 100% cure rates for nonmelanoma skin cancers. Patients receive immediate confirmation of complete cancer removal during the same visit, followed by reconstructive options when needed. Ideal for high-risk or cosmetically sensitive areas like the face.
Laser Hair Removal
Using Sciton BBL technology, this FDA-approved treatment targets hair follicles with light energy for permanent reduction. Suitable for all skin types across multiple body areas including face, legs, and bikini lines. Patients typically require 3-8 sessions at 4-6 week intervals to achieve 85-90% hair reduction while maintaining natural skin appearance.
Botox Injections
FDA-cleared BOTOX Cosmetic injections temporarily relax facial muscles causing dynamic wrinkles. This minimally invasive procedure smooths forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines by blocking nerve signals. Results appear within days, lasting 3-4 months with maintenance treatments. Performed by dermatology specialists for natural-looking rejuvenation.
Microneedling
SkinPen microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production. This minimally invasive treatment improves acne scars, stretch marks, and aging signs like wrinkles and uneven texture. Requires 3-4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results. Combines with medical-grade skincare products for enhanced skin renewal.
Microdermabrasion
Clinical exfoliation removes dead skin cells to improve texture and tone. This painless procedure addresses sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and mild acne by vacuum-assisted abrasion. No downtime required, with visible improvements after single sessions. Recommended for maintaining radiant skin through regular treatments.

What can I say about Dr. Horton and her staff. I have been a patient of hers since 2003. Dr. Horton. Highly recommend her. has treated and removed several early squamous and basal cell cancers. She and her staff are very thorough and explain the procedure and what needs to be done. I recently moved 50 miles away and I still continue to make the 100 miles round trip to see Dr. Horton. She's the best. She tells it as it is.
