At Element Dermatology, your care is overseen by a board-certified dermatologist. That means every treatment is grounded in medical science—not trends—and designed with both safety and artistry in mind. We don’t do one-size-fits-all. We do what’s right for you.
Do I need to know what treatment I want before scheduling?
Not at all. That’s what consultations and appointments are for. We'll examine your skin, listen to any goals you may have, and recommend a tailored plan that fits your desired results and lifestyle.
Will I be pressured to book or buy anything during my appointment?
Absolutely not. Our consultations and appointments are about education, clarity, and partnership. You’ll leave with expert recommendations—no pressure, ever.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for treatment?
That’s exactly what we determine during your appointment. We assess your health history, skin type, goals, and concerns to make sure every recommendation is safe, effective, and right for you.
Aesthetic Questions
Is this just for women, or do you treat men too?
While many of our patients are women, we offer treatments for all genders. Our focus is on enhancing natural features and helping every patient feel more confident in their skin—no matter who they are.
Will I still look like me after treatments?
Yes—just a refreshed version. Our goal is to enhance your natural features with subtle, sophisticated results. You’ll look like you—well-rested, confident, and vibrant.
How soon will I see results from my treatment?
It depends on the service. Some treatments, like Botox, take a few days to show full results. Others, like filler, are visible almost immediately. Laser and skincare treatments may take a few sessions for full effect. We’ll walk you through what to expect every step of the way.
Are the treatments painful?
Most patients describe our treatments as very tolerable, with minimal discomfort. We use numbing agents and gentle techniques to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
How long do the results last?
This varies by treatment. Botox typically lasts 3–4 months, filler 6–12 months, and laser results can last even longer with proper skincare. We’ll help you create a maintenance plan that works for your goals and lifestyle.
Can I return to normal activities after treatment?
Most of our treatments have minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness or swelling, but many clients go right back to work or social plans. We’ll let you know exactly what to expect before and after your appointment.
Is there a benefit to getting aesthetic treatments at a dermatology clinic?
Yes—it’s often safer. Unlike many med spas, we are a physician-led practice with medical oversight. Your treatments are designed and administered with the highest standard of care.
Medical Dermatology Questions
Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
In most cases, you do not need a referral to see us. However, some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider for specialist visits. If you’re unsure, we recommend checking with your insurance provider before your appointment.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of conditions—including acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, skin infections, hair loss, rashes, and more. We also evaluate and manage skin growths such as moles, cysts, and pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions.
Are the treatments painful?
Most patients describe our treatments as very tolerable with minimal discomfort. We use numbing agents and gentle techniques to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Do you treat children and teens?
Yes! We treat patients of all ages—from infants with rashes to teens with acne, to adults managing chronic conditions or skin cancer screenings. Our team provides age-appropriate care with comfort and clarity in mind.
How often should I get a skin check?
For most adults, an annual skin exam is recommended—especially if you have a history of sun exposure, tanning, or skin cancer. If you’ve had skin cancer before or have many moles or spots, your provider may suggest more frequent checks.
What are signs I should have a spot looked at?
If you notice a mole or spot that is changing in size, shape, or color—or if it’s bleeding, itching, or not healing—you should schedule an evaluation. Early detection is key, especially when it comes to skin cancer.
Can you remove moles, cysts, or skin tags?
Yes. We offer in-office procedures to remove benign growths like skin tags, cysts, and non-cancerous moles, often in a single visit. If a lesion appears suspicious, we may recommend a biopsy before removal.
Do you offer treatment for hair loss?
Yes. We evaluate and treat various causes of hair loss, including alopecia areata, hormonal thinning, and scalp conditions. Treatment options may include topical or oral medications, injections, or regenerative therapies like PRP.
Is my visit covered by insurance?
Medical dermatology visits—such as those for rashes, acne, suspicious moles, or chronic skin conditions—are typically covered by insurance. Cosmetic procedures (like neuromodulators or fillers) are not. We’re happy to help you verify your coverage ahead of time.
Safety & Credentials
Who performs the treatments?
All services are provided by highly trained professionals—either our board-certified dermatologist, a licensed aesthetic injector, or a certified esthetician—depending on the treatment type. You’ll always be in expert hands.
I’ve had a bad experience elsewhere. Can you help?
Yes. We often work with patients who’ve received uneven, overdone, or ineffective treatments at other providers. Our team specializes in corrective work and helping you feel confident again.
Are consultations or appointments really necessary?
Absolutely. Your skin, anatomy, and goals are unique. A consultation or appointment ensures we recommend the safest, most effective treatments for you—not just what’s popular or trending.
What safety protocols do you follow?
We follow rigorous safety and sanitation protocols for every treatment—on par with hospital-grade standards. Your health, comfort, and results are always our top priorities.
