Medical Dermatology Services in Needham MA Area

At Essential Dermatology, we believe in providing a wide selection of cosmetic and medical dermatology services for patients looking for skincare solutions “near me” in Needham, Massachusetts. Our providers have the experience and skills to address a range of concerns affecting the skin, hair, nails, and body. Below are ten of the top dermatology services provided by our skin specialists!

Ten dermatology services offered at Essential Dermatology

  1. Medical dermatology. Medical dermatology includes the diagnosis and treatment of various skin conditions including common ones like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, warts, and moles.
  2. Cosmetic dermatology. Our skin specialists offer a wide range of cosmetic procedures to enhance the overall look of your skin. These include Botox injections, dermal fillers, laser treatments for wrinkles and scars, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion.
  3. Skin cancer screening. Early detection is critical in addressing and fully treating skin cancer effectively. Our dermatologists are trained to identify suspicious moles or lesions and provide prompt treatment if needed.
  4. Mohs surgery. This highly specialized procedure is used to remove skin cancer while keeping as much of the healthy tissue as possible. Our dermatologists have extensive training and experience in performing Mohs surgery.
  5. Hair and scalp disorders. We offer diagnosis and treatment for hair loss, scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis or even dandruff, and other hair abnormalities such as alopecia areata.
  6. Cosmetic injectables. In addition to traditional cosmetic procedures, our skin specialists offer cosmetic injectables such as Kybella for double chin reduction and Sculptra for restoring volume to the face.
  7. Chemical peels. Our dermatologists utilize chemical peels to improve skin tone and texture, reduce hyperpigmentation and wrinkles, and treat certain types of acne.
  8. Microneedling. This minimally invasive dermatology procedure uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the upper layer of the skin, stimulating natural collagen production and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. It also is used to enhance the absorption of topical products for better results.
