Help patients feel confident in their skin.
Patients can expect thoughtful, personalized care where every concern is taken seriously and every treatment plan is tailored to their individual needs.
What Is Medical Dermatology?
Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. While many people associate dermatology with acne, medical dermatology encompasses much more.
At Aeterna, we provide comprehensive evaluations for common and complex skin concerns, helping patients improve both their skin health and overall quality of life.
Whether you're experiencing a persistent rash, chronic eczema, unexplained hair loss, or a suspicious mole, early evaluation by a dermatology provider can lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment.
Conditions We Treat
Acne Treatment
Acne affects teenagers and adults alike. We offer personalized treatment plans to help reduce breakouts, minimize scarring, and improve long-term skin health.
Rosacea
Persistent facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels may be signs of rosacea. Early treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups.
Eczema
Dry, itchy, inflamed skin can significantly impact daily life. We work with patients to identify triggers and develop treatment plans that provide lasting relief.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition requiring ongoing management. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, improve comfort, and help patients maintain healthy skin.
Rashes & Skin Infections
Not every rash is the same. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment, whether the cause is allergic, bacterial, viral, fungal, or inflammatory.
Hair Loss
Hair thinning and excessive shedding can have many causes. We evaluate underlying conditions and discuss treatment options based on your individual needs.
Moles & Skin Lesions
If you've noticed a mole that has changed in size, shape, or color, it's important to have it evaluated promptly. Early assessment can provide peace of mind and help identify concerning lesions before they become more serious.
Why Skin Cancer Screenings Matter
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, yet it is also one of the most treatable when detected early.
Routine full-body skin examinations allow dermatology providers to identify suspicious moles, monitor changes over time, and detect skin cancer in its earliest stages.
If you spend time outdoors, have fair skin, a family history of skin cancer, significant sun exposure, or simply have never had a professional skin examination, scheduling a skin cancer screening is one of the most important steps you can take for your long-term health.
Medical Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine
Healthy skin is the foundation of exceptional aesthetic results.
Medical dermatology focuses on treating skin disease, preventing future concerns, and maintaining skin health, while aesthetic medicine enhances the appearance of healthy skin through treatments such as injectables, laser procedures, and medical-grade skincare.
Together, these services create a comprehensive approach to caring for your skin throughout every stage of life.
