Dermatology, Inc. was founded in 1968 and has grown into the largest dermatology practice in central Indiana. Our board certified physicians and allied health professionals combine extensive years of experience and cumulative knowledge along with a patient centered approach to provide the highest quality care to the patients we serve. We are dedicated to medical excellence by utilizing advanced technology in the evaluation and treatment of medical, surgical and cosmetic skin care in both adults and children. We have multiple practice locations conveniently located throughout central Indiana in an effort to best service the needs of our patients. We welcome new patients and professional referrals to our growing practice.

Special Tuesdays

Our team of medical experts come together in a special clinic one Tuesday every month to see patients who have a unique medical condition or treatment challenge. Known within our practice as “Special Tuesday Clinic”, this clinic gives selected patients the opportunity to be evaluated at one time by our entire team of healthcare providers. Given our healthcare teams’ combined years of experience and training, coupled with hands-on evaluation and collaborative discussion, this unique clinic setting is another example of the advanced care available to the patients we serve.

Mohs’ Micrographic Surgery

To offer the most advance care, our practice has a board certified Mohs’ micrographic surgeon dedicated to the treatment of skin cancer. This highly specialized surgical technique gives the patient the highest chance for cure. The surgeon can pinpoint areas involved with cancer and selectively remove only those areas. The removal of normal tissue is minimized as much as possible.

Pediatric Dermatology

To specifically treat skin concerns that affect infants and children up to 12 years of age, our staff includes a board certified pediatric dermatologist. We like to say “small parts, big care”. Our highly trained physician is one of only a few such specialists in central Indiana.

Dermatopathology

To better serve the needs of dermatologists and related specialists, the practice developed its own laboratory in 1997. Our laboratory is staffed by board certified dermatopathologists, specializing in the precise and accurate diagnosis of specimens of the skin, hair and nails. Our laboratory is committed to fast, accurate service, with a 24 to 48 hour turnaround time, providing the opportunity for our clients to treat their patients in a timely manner.

Skin Screenings

To help educate people about the significance of sun protection and early skin cancer detection, our physicians routinely participate in free skin screenings throughout the local communities. In addition to being trained to evaluate and treat diseases of the skin, hair and nails, our physicians advocate prevention and early detection in an effort to find skin cancer in the earliest treatable stage. Volunteering to staff a local skin screening is one way to stress our commitment to protection and early detection.


LASER HAIR REMOVAL

GentleLase Laser

The GentleLase Laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat which destroys the hair follicle however leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. There is a cooling agent that is sprayed on the skin cooling the upper layers of skin to minimize discomfort from the treatment. Laser hair removal is effective on almost any area of the body where smoother, hair-free and younger skin is desired. The laser will not work on white or gray hair types or for those that have hormonal imbalances. Most patients require 4 to 6 treatments however for optimal benefits depends on the area treated, hair density and your hair’s growth cycle. Treatments should be performed once signs of hair re-growth appear, usually 6 to 8 week intervals.

Procedure:
During the procedure, a snapping sensation will occur. The treatment duration depends on body area and size. After the procedure you may experience redness and welt/follicular reaction surrounding the treated hair follicles.

Side effects:
Immediately following the treatment, you may experience a slight redness, puffiness and a warm sensation which will subside in a day or two. Avoid intense sun exposure and tanning at least one week after treatment. Wearing an SPF of 30 is recommended in areas of treatment.
LightSheer Diode Laser

The LightSheer Diode Laser achieves an effective and faster hair removal for most patients. The light energy given from this laser is absorbed specifically by pigment in the hair shaft. The energy heats the hair which in turn heats the follicle to destroy it without damaging the surrounding skin. The typical number of treatments is at least 4 to 10 to achieve near-complete, long term hair loss. The LightSheer Diode Laser has been successfully used worldwide. Most skin types work with this laser, however fair or red hair may not respond well to treatment.

Procedure:
The laser light emitted is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for a fraction of a second. The pulse duration is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s cooling hand piece helps protect the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy. Following the treatment, the site may be swollen, appear red and feel like a mild sunburn which will subside within 30 minutes to a week.

Side effects:
Some patients may experience pain, blistering, edema, crusting, and pigmentation changes.
