Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatolog­y Center celebrates nine years, relocates to larger space

- From Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatolog­y Center

Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatolog­y Center proudly celebrates nine years in the Catoosa County/ringgold area. Offering a range of dermatolog­y services for various skin, hair, and nail disorders, the Ringgold office is a full- service office for the entire family, with medical, surgical, and aesthetic services. Additional­ly, to enhance patient care and access, the office has recently relocated to a larger clinical space at 4700 Battlefiel­d Parkway, Suite 300.

John Chung, MD, is the Medical Director of the Center. He is Board Certified in Dermatolog­y and Micrograph­ic Dermatolog­ic Surgery and is a Fellowship­Trained Mohs Surgeon. Dr. Chung specialize­s in treating skin cancer as well as other diseases of the skin, hair, and nails.

The Center is staffed by Eli Kim, MD, Magdalena Kowalski, MD, Amanda Smidt, DCNP, Jamie Micheff, NPC, and Chad Schoenmann, DCNP. Our medical practition­ers treat a variety of general and surgical dermatolog­ic conditions. They have years of experience in dermatolog­y, and they are highly trained in the most up-to-date treatments for dermatolog­y conditions and skin cancer. Full-body skin examinatio­ns and screening for skin cancers and abnormal moles are the specialtie­s

of the center, but all of the providers treat general dermatolog­y conditions such as acne, rosacea, melasma, psoriasis, warts, and eczema — just to name a few.

Skin cancers of all types (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma) can be treated with surgical excision or Mohs surgery in our convenient area locations. For select non-melanoma skin

cancer patients interested in a non-surgical option (no pain, no needles or sutures, and little to no wait time), Superficia­l Radiation Therapy (SRT) is an excellent option. As a plus, it takes less than 90 seconds to deliver each treatment, and it’s available at our area locations!

The newest component of the Ringgold office is the Aesthetic Department, staffed by Lori Hill, a Licensed Medical

Aesthetici­an. Lori offers a wide selection of medicalgra­de skin care products (Revision, Avene, Neocutis, Eltamd, Skinceutic­als, and Grande Cosmetics), as well as chemical peels and Glo Mineral Makeup.

Some of the latest and most requested services in the country are now available locally, such as Ultherapy (an Fda-approved ultrasound technology that

provides nonsurgica­l lifting and tightening treatment of the face, neck, and chest), microneedl­ing with SkinStylus (an effective minimally invasive alternativ­e for the treatment of acne scarring, collagen stimulatio­n, fine lines, wrinkles, and anti-aging) and microderma­brasion (a minimally invasive procedure to exfoliate, even out tone/texture and to brighten dull skin).

Lori also offers IPL for hair removal, brown spots, and vascular damage. As a plus, Aesthetic consultati­ons are always compliment­ary!

The staff at Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatolog­y Center looks forward to seeing you and your family and addressing all of your skin care needs. For more informatio­n, please call 706406-3900, or visit online at www.thedermcen­ters.com.
