Taylorsville Dermatology

Our fellowship-trained surgeon brings expertise in Mohs micrographic surgery, a precision technique that removes basal cell carcinoma and other skin cancers layer by layer while examining tissue under a microscope during the procedure itself. This approach achieves cure rates above 99% for many skin cancers while preserving maximum healthy tissue particularly valuable when treating cancers on your face, ears, or hands where every millimeter matters.

Our providers treat patients across every life stage, handling infantile hemangiomas and genetic skin conditions in children, hormonal acne and atopic dermatitis in young adults, and the increasing skin cancer risk in older patients. One family might see us for three generations of care a toddler with eczema, a parent with rosacea, and a grandparent needing preventive screenings.

We perform Botox injections and dermal fillers, but our training as medical dermatologists means we evaluate skin health before aesthetics. When you ask about cosmetic services, we consider your medical history, skin type, and realistic outcomes rather than simply booking whatever procedure you mention. Some patients need treatment for underlying seborrheic dermatitis or skin allergies before cosmetic work makes sense.

Full-body skin exams take time because we’re checking hundreds of moles, freckles, and spots for subtle changes that signal early skin cancer. We ask detailed questions about that rash on your scalp or the nail discoloration you’ve been ignoring. This careful attention catches basal cell carcinoma when it’s still tiny and spots hair loss patterns early enough to treat effectively.

Longtime patients know us as Dr. Flint Dermatology, and the name change to Millcreek Dermatology doesn’t mean anything else has changed. Same providers, same location, same commitment to putting your skin health first. We updated our name to better represent the comprehensive general dermatology, surgical care, and patient-focused service we provide to families throughout the Salt Lake Valley.

Any mole that changes in size, shape, or color deserves professional evaluation, as does any new growth appearing after age 30. We also recommend getting suspicious moles examined if they bleed, itch, or look different from your other moles. Annual skin cancer screenings help us track changes over time and catch concerning developments early when treatment outcomes are most favorable.

Board-certified dermatologists complete medical school, residency training, and ongoing education in diagnosing and treating skin diseases before offering any cosmetic services. Medspas often employ non-physicians who focus primarily on aesthetics without the medical background to identify underlying skin conditions. Our Taylorsville dermatology clinic prioritizes your skin health first, ensuring cosmetic treatments complement rather than compromise your overall well-being.

We regularly see patients who’ve struggled with persistent skin rashes, scalp issues, or unexplained symptoms that haven’t responded to previous treatments. Our training in complex skin diseases and access to specialized testing often reveal diagnoses that others missed. Difficult cases like unusual forms of eczema, rare skin allergies, or atypical presentations of common conditions benefit from our focused expertise in Taylorsville dermatology.

Acne develops deep within hair follicles over weeks before appearing on your skin’s surface, so treatments need time to address both existing breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. Most prescription medications require 6-8 weeks of consistent use before you’ll notice significant improvement. We adjust treatment plans if you’re not seeing progress, but patience with the initial timeline usually delivers the best long-term results for clear skin.

Call our office right away if you develop a rapidly changing mole, a sore that won’t heal, or any growth that concerns you. We prioritize urgent skin cancer evaluations and can often schedule same-week appointments for worrisome spots. Don’t wait for your annual screening if something doesn’t look right early detection of basal cell carcinoma and other skin cancers significantly improves treatment success rates.
