About No Wait Dermatology
No-wait dermatology is designed to help you find immediate relief from skin irritation, rashes, genital warts, and moles. Addressing these conditions with no-wait dermatology can prevent them from worsening or spreading to other areas of the body. No-wait dermatology also makes quality care more accessible in an industry where waiting up to 2 months to see a dermatologist is not uncommon. (1) This is especially an issue in areas with few dermatologists, and more than 42% of the US population lives in underserved areas. (2)
No-Wait Dermatology vs. Skin Care Treatments
No-wait dermatology is designed to help address changes to your skin that require immediate assistance. Skin care treatments in our Medspa, however, can address signs of aging and aesthetic concerns from aging. With Medspa treatments, we can address fine lines, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity so you can enjoy smoother, more youthful-looking skin. For painful or uncomfortable skin conditions such as genital warts, rashes, acne, and moles, our no-wait dermatology treatments are the best option for helping you address your concerns with a same-day appointment.
Types of Dermatology Treatments
There are several dermatology treatments to help you improve your skin’s appearance and address conditions affecting your well-being.
Genital Warts
Genital warts can affect intimate areas of the body, mouth, tongue, throat, and lips. Although they are not always visible to the naked eye, they can cause itching and discomfort. Approximately 1 in 3 men carry human papillomavirus (HPV) (3), and although there is no HPV test for men, they are typically diagnosed when warts or rectal cancer appears. Women can receive an HPV test during a pap smear to determine whether or not they are positive for the virus. During your appointment, we will perform a physical exam and remove warts with several different methods, depending on their depth and size:
- Cryotherapy: We can alter the structure of the wart cells by freezing them.
- Topical medication: We may recommend topical medication to treat your warts, depending on their location.
- Surgery: If you have deep warts, or they are covering the cervix, we may need to remove them surgically.
It is important to have realistic expectations about the treatment and remember that removing warts does not cure HPV. However, it can help you manage your symptoms and lead a more comfortable lifestyle. Although you can spread the STI whether you have warts or not, addressing the warts can reduce skin irritation for a more comfortable lifestyle. The treatments alter the wart’s structure and cut off its blood supply to treat it. An excision procedure can address deeper warts and/or areas that are difficult to reach, such as the cervix.
Rash Treatment
Rash treatment can address skin irritation from poisonous plants, chemicals, sun exposure, and environmental factors affecting your skin. If you have a heat rash, ringworm, rosacea, or psoriasis, we can perform several different types of rash treatments to improve the quality of your skin:
- Heat rashes: We can address obstructed sweat glands that create a rash.
- Drug rashes: We can enhance the quality of skin and comfort if an allergic reaction causes red spots.
- Psoriasis: We can address red, scaly skin bumps affecting your appearance and quality of life.
- Rosacea: We can address acne and red bumps that result from sun exposure, reactions, and skincare products.
- Ringworm: We can prescribe antifungal medications to address ringwork, athlete’s foot, and jock itch.
Acne Treatments
If you have acne, we can perform several customizable acne treatments to reduce inflammation and diminish the appearance of scars to enhance the appearance of your skin:
- Acne scars: If you suffer from acne scars affecting your complexion, we can reduce their appearance with gentle treatments that improve cell turnover.
- IPL Photofacial: non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target acne, redness, and pigmentation issues. The light penetrates the skin, killing acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and stimulating collagen production for smoother skin. It also helps minimize acne scars and reduces excess oil production.
- Skin Fitness: We can perform a collection of skin treatments regularly to help you enhance the quality of your skin and maintain lasting results. Like a gym membership, we can create a regime for the next 12 months to help you feel your best.
Moles
Mole treatments address clusters of pigmented cells that appear as tiny spots or growths on the skin. We can address moles for both cosmetic and functional reasons. Some moles are cancerous and must be removed before the cancer spreads to another area of the body, while others may affect your appearance. We offer several different mole treatments, depending on your needs:
- Laser treatments: We can alter the structure of the cells with laser energy to remove the mole.
- Cryosurgery: We can freeze the mole to remove it while preserving the surrounding tissue.
- Cauterization: We can remove the mole with heat, which alters the structure of the skin cells, making it easy to remove.
- Excision: We can surgically remove the mole tissue.

There are several benefits to no-wait dermatology treatments, including:
- Minimal wait times: We can address your skin concerns during your visit so you can receive immediate care.

- Minimally invasive techniques: We perform minimally invasive techniques to help you address your concerns.
