Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s...lip filler! Check out the photos below to see examples of two different patients lips before and after injection of volbella (a dermal filler) injected in our office by Sheridan Brown, PA-C. Both of these patients wanted a natural looking lip, and so only 1 syringe of volbella was needed. This lip filler, while temporary, can last up to 12 months!... When getting lip filler done, you can expect to have some mild swelling and bruising of the lips directly after injection and typically for the next 3-4 days. This is normal! Lip filler is a great choice for anyone who wants enhance their natural lipswhether by just a little or by a lotwe customize the injections to you and your preferences. We offer FREE consultations for lip fillerso if you’ve been thinking about treating yourself this holiday season give us a call! 573-876-1616 *Photos posted with patient’s permission* #HealthySkinStartsHere #Dermatology #Dermatologist #columbiaMO #JCMO #mizzou #skincare #mohssurgery #aethetics #cosmeticdermatology #skincancerprevention #botox #filler #superficialradiationtherapy #boardcertifieddermatologist

Part 4 of our Skin Cancer Treatment series: E D & C Electrodesiccation & Curettage (aka ED&C)... What is it? A type of skin cancer treatment that is also sometimes called a scrape and burn. It’s a straight forward two-step process we do in our office under local anaesthesia: 1The skin cancer is scraped off with a curettea scoop-like tool with a sharp edge 2The skin is burned, or cauterised, to prevent bleeding and destroy any leftover cancerous skin Why do it? ED&C is a great option for people with shallow and well-demarcated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers who want to avoid stitches! It’s a good option for areas of the body such as: chest, back, arms, and legs. Ready for a skin check?

Part 2 of our Skin Cancer Treatment series: M O H S S U R G E R Y Mohs Surgery (pronounced moes)... is a specialised type of skin cancer surgery that’s been around for nearly 100 years. We perform this surgery in the outpatient setting with NO general anaesthesia! Mohs Surgeons are specially trained dermatologists in this type of surgeryit’s not something every dermatologist can do. Our clinic is lucky to have 2 Mohs Surgeons!: Dr. Lindall Perry Dr. Andy Basnett Mohs Surgery involves removing thin layers of skin in a tight margin around where your skin cancer is located progressively until only cancer-free tissue remains. This type of surgery is perfect for patients with skin cancer in delicate areas with not a lot of extra skin, such as: face scalp ears hands fingers The removed skin is examined by your surgeon under a microscope within two hours to verify that the cancer has been 100% removed. Mohs Surgery has the highest cure rate (99.8%!) of all the skin cancer treatment methods, is tissue conserving, involves minimal scarring and minimal discomforta win, win! Also, check out Dr. Perry and Dr. Basnett in action! Ready for a skin check?

Got Dry Skin?? Happy Halloween! Fall has arrived with a vengeance (anyone remember the snow on Monday??) and that means the cooler weather is here to stay in Mid-MO! With cooler weather comes drier skin ... This is because temperature = moisture in the air. And moisture in the air = drier skin. What should you do?? For our FACE we absolutely adore (not an exaggeration) HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator by Skin Medica! This is a product that supports your skin’s natural ability to replenish it’s own hyaluronic acid (HA) using 5 different HA forms to hydrate and smooth your skin up to 8 hours You can find HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator at our Columbia and Jefferson City locations! For our BODY we recommend choosing any moisturizing cream or ointment over a lotion. Creams and ointments contain humectants (aka ingredients that draw in and trap moisturelike HA!). Our favorite: CeraVe Moisturizing CreamYou can find this product at your local drug store!
