From stubborn acne and inflamed eczema to chronic psoriasis and unexplained rashes, skin conditions can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and difficult to manage without expert guidance. You deserve clear, healthy skin that lets you feel confident in your own body.
At Lucid Dermatology, you’ll receive comprehensive medical dermatology care from board-certified providers who understand the unique needs of diverse skin types. Our dedicated team brings extensive expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of skin conditions.
Acne
Acne affects people of all ages and can result from hormones, genetics, stress, or various environmental factors. At Lucid Dermatology, we take acne seriously and understand that each patient’s causes are unique and often multifactorial. Your provider will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Rosacea
If you suffer from rosacea, you’re not alone—one in every 20 Americans has been diagnosed with this common condition. Rosacea symptoms range from mild flushing to moderate or severe redness and bumps that can cause emotional stress and make social interactions challenging. Our goal is to minimize your rosacea symptoms through targeted in-office treatments and customized skincare regimens, so you can feel more confident and comfortable in your daily life.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a persistent inflammatory condition that commonly presents as scaly patches on the elbows, knees, hands, and scalp, though it can appear anywhere on the body. This condition has broader health implications beyond the skin, potentially affecting your joints and cardiovascular system. Our providers utilize state-of-the-art treatment options, including UVB light therapy via XTRAC® laser technology, to effectively manage psoriasis and improve your quality of life.
Dermatitis/Eczema
Dermatitis or eczema, also known as a rash, can be highly variable in appearance and cause. Common types include contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis, but many other forms exist. Your Lucid Dermatology provider will evaluate your clinical presentation and medical history and may perform allergy testing or a skin biopsy, if needed, to accurately diagnose and treat your condition. UVB light therapy via XTRAC is available for cases of inflammatory dermatitis requiring advanced intervention.
Vitiligo
Vitiligo occurs when the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes), resulting in depigmented patches on various areas of the body, including the skin, hair, and mucous membranes. This condition can be emotionally challenging, but treatment options are available. We offer specialized UVB light therapy using XTRAC laser technology to help restore pigmentation and improve the appearance of affected areas.
Keloids
Keloids are thick, raised scars that may develop wherever you experience a skin injury or inflammation. They commonly form on earlobes from piercings, on the trunk or face from acne, or following other inflammatory events. At Lucid Dermatology, we offer a variety of treatment options depending on the size, location, and history of your keloids, helping you achieve smoother, more comfortable skin.
Rashes
Rashes can appear suddenly and may be caused by allergic reactions, infections, heat, medications, or underlying health conditions. Because rashes vary widely in appearance and origin, accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Our experienced providers will examine your rash, review your history, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan to provide relief and healing.
Skin Infections & Infestations
Skin infections can be bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral. Regardless of the type of infection or infestation you’re facing, our team treats these conditions promptly and efficiently to prevent complications.
Hair Loss/Alopecia
Alopecia is an umbrella term for any type of hair loss affecting men and women. Numerous forms exist, including androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, lichen planopilaris, and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
Treatment approaches are tailored to your specific needs and may include customized topical or oral medications, as well as innovative platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments that use natural growth factors to rejuvenate hair follicles and promote regrowth.
