At Sieber Plastic Surgery, medical dermatology is where health and appearance meet. We encounter individuals with a wide range of skin conditions. Sometimes, it’s a teenager who needs to treat acne before prom; other times, it’s an older patient worried about a changing spot that might be skin cancer. Technology plays a big part now—laser skin resurfacing or other laser treatments can fade scars, smooth rough patches, and even out skin color. The plan is never one-size-fits-all. We consider your skin, your medical history, and your goals, then tailor a care plan that works specifically for you.
Think of it as the medical side of skin care. We deal with everyday issues like severe acne and moderate acne scars, and we also catch serious problems early, including skin cancer. That might mean prescriptions, lifestyle changes, or procedures using lasers or intense pulsed light.
With laser resurfacing, for example, we’re working on the outer layer to clear away dead skin cells and jumpstart collagen production underneath. That’s how we get new skin to grow while keeping the surrounding tissue intact. Sometimes we’re treating active acne; sometimes we’re softening marks left by sun-damaged skin. Every treatment area is different, so your dermatologist adjusts the settings, timing, and aftercare to get the healthiest, smoothest skin possible.

Yes, but your dermatologist will decide if treating active lesions first will improve outcomes.
They can be used in specific cases, often for superficial lesions, but surgery is standard for most.
Fractional treatments only treat part of the skin’s surface, allowing quicker recovery time. Ablative lasers remove the top layer for more dramatic results, but with longer healing times.
