What people think Moxi® is 🚫 vs. what it actually is ✅

Myth: It’s a scary laser with weeks of downtime.

Reality: It’s 15 minutes in the chair and back at your desk by 1 p.m.

The Moxi laser improves overall skin tone and texture, reduces pigmentation and smooths fine lines, with minimal downtime.

✨ Here’s how neurotoxins help: When a muscle is paralyzed, it moves less. Over time, that muscle gets trained to relax, since it isn’t repeating the same motion anymore. That means fewer lines have the chance to form in the first place.

It isn’t just about smoothing what’s already there; it’s about preventing what’s next.

More than 70 million Americans rely on Medicare for access to health care, including life-saving skin cancer screenings and treatment.

Today, that access is at risk.

Proposed Medicare payment cuts could make it much harder for patients to access dermatology care, including skin cancer screenings, diagnosis, and treatment.

And when it comes to skin cancer, early detection can mean the difference between life and death. For someone worried about a suspicious spot or waiting for answers about a potential skin cancer, any delay can have serious consequences. We cannot afford to put early detection and treatment at risk when patients need it most.

Forefront Dermatology, behind our passionate President, Dr. Betsy Wernli, is actively advocating for Medicare patients and the physicians who care for them. But we need your voice to make a bigger difference.

Read on to find out how you can take quick action to help fight for access to life-saving care: https://forefrontdermatology.com/medicare-cuts/

Ever wondered what causes those tiny bumps on your skin? 🧬

Skin tags often form in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, but they can also be linked to genetics, hormonal shifts, or metabolic changes like insulin resistance.

While they aren’t dangerous, attempting to remove them at home with string, shears, or vinegar can lead to scarring and severe infection. Safe, sterile removal options, such as professional cauterization or cryotherapy, ensure quick results with minimal to no downtime.

Toxin consultations aren’t one-size-fits-all. 💉

Ashley Dietrich, MD, FAAD walks through how she customizes a treatment. She uses it in the glabella and crow’s feet to soften expression lines, in the eyebrow for a subtle lift, and under the eye to help open and brighten that area.

Every part works together, and that’s the point.

Starting anti-aging treatments early isn’t about changing how you look, it’s about protecting your skin’s future.

Preventive care focuses on maintaining collagen production, smoothing dynamic fine lines before they set, and keeping early sun damage at bay.

By incorporating targeted treatments like light lasers, gentle peels, and preventative neuromodulators in your 20s and 30s, you support your skin’s natural resilience over time.

Chest acne is a common yet often misunderstood concern driven by both external habits and internal factors.

Because the chest area has a high concentration of sebaceous glands, factors like trapped sweat post-workout, friction from tight activewear (acne mechanica), hormonal fluctuations, and heavy comedogenic body products can quickly cause breakout flare-ups. Switching to breathable fabrics, showering promptly after exercise, and using non-comedogenic skincare help keep pores clear and healthy.

It’s Skin Care Awareness Month, and the trends will keep coming, but the fundamentals don’t change: a gentle cleanser, an antioxidant like vitamin C, a retinoid at night and SPF every single day. That’s what decades of dermatology research actually support. ✨

It’s Rare Disease Day, so we’re spreading awareness about skin diseases that most people have never heard of.

Elastoderma causes extreme looseness in the skin. It usually affects the skin of the neck, elbows, and knees, and it’s thought to be from an over-production of elastin. Unwanted saggy skin can be removed by a dermatologist.

Acral peeling skin syndrome is a genetic disorder that leads to painless peeling of the top layer of skin. It happens most often on the hands and feet, and lotions and creams can help prevent peeling.

Chromhidrosis makes people produce sweat that’s black, brown, green, yellow, or blue. It happens after puberty and doctors can treat it with botox injections or topical creams.

Our board certified dermatologists have seen just about every condition imaginable. If you have a skin problem that’s causing concern, call us today 404-459-9177
