Services

Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery is a precise skin cancer treatment that removes cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving healthy skin. Our board-certified surgeons use microscopic analysis to ensure complete cancer removal with 98%+ cure rates. This outpatient procedure is ideal for treating basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and other complex skin cancers in sensitive areas like the face.

Coolsculpting

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to permanently eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery. Our FDA-approved devices target areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs with precision applicators. Patients typically see 20-25% fat reduction per treatment area over 2-4 months. This non-invasive procedure requires no downtime and is ideal for contouring problem areas resistant to diet and exercise.

Botox Injections

Botox Cosmetic temporarily reduces facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. Our certified providers inject botulinum toxin type A into targeted areas like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. Results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months. We also offer Xeomin and Dysport alternatives for personalized neuromodulator treatment plans.

Laser Treatments

Our Sciton HALO and MOXI lasers address skin imperfections through fractional resurfacing. HALO combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths for deep collagen remodeling, while MOXI offers gentle rejuvenation for all skin types. Treatments improve texture, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate collagen production with minimal downtime, revealing smoother, more youthful skin.

Chemical Peels

Medical-grade chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal healthier layers beneath. We offer superficial to medium-depth peels using alpha-hydroxy acids, trichloroacetic acid, and specialty formulations. Treatments address acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven texture. Series protocols are available for cumulative skin rejuvenation with minimal social downtime.

For years and years I had an odd looking mole with a raised acne scar on top of it right between my eyebrows. I had it cosmetically removed with Dr. Eric Hanson and I am so so so happy with the results. He had the scar heal up in my "Leonardo DiCaprio" (that line between your eyebrows when you frown) and you can't even notice it anymore. I wish I had got it removed sooner, but I'm glad I was referred to a surgeon like him who does facial mole removals all the time.

They billed the wrong insurance account and billed incorrect amount. Sent letters threatening to pay or be sent to collection over their mistake; even though I put best contact is email and phone. If they even think about sending me to collections and hurt my credit for a 10 minute appointment, it's going to get real expensive real quick for them.

I was able to get an appointment here the same week I called. And the service was wonderful I felt like I was being listened to and taken care of.

We took our daughter in for two concerning skin rashes and the "dermatologist" FNP we saw had no clue what was going on with our daughter's skin. She did not make a diagnosis and made no recommendations on how to proceed in treating these rashes. She appeared stumped and did not refer us to get further help. We just got our bill for the $200 that was not covered by insurance and reminded me of how awful this experience was. We ended up going back to our pediatrician and they had better advice and treatment for the skin rashes than Knott Street Dermatology. Avoid going here at all costs.

I came here after the primary care doctors I worked for recommended it. I however do not. My first visit, reception staff was not friendly, very disinterested. I then sat in an exam room for literally 30 minutes with no one checking on me or updating me. I then poked my head out of the room, I was in a gown, and still had to stand there for another 5 minutes before I interrupted one of the staff talking to other staff members to make sure I was not forgotten. After all that, I received a call saying they are not in network with my insurance, that their insurance verifier missed that. So still awaiting to see what they will try to bill me.
