Sunrise Dermatology Mesa

Sunrise Dermatology covers medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology under one practice, with offices in Show Low, Thatcher and Mesa. The practice describes itself as a leading provider of this care in the East Valley, a claim it makes about itself. Medical services address acne, alopecia, eczema, psoriasis, moles and warts, and the skin cancer offering spans skin checks, diagnosis, treatment, maintenance and prevention.

New patients can request an appointment by calling an office, by text, or through the online contact form. Patients can also use the patient portal, pay online, and download new patient forms ahead of a visit. The practice accepts insurance and publishes a list of accepted plans on its website; patients whose plan is not listed are asked to call the office. Most cosmetic dermatology treatments are not covered by insurance. Cosmetic consultations lead to a customized treatment package.

Mohs surgery is performed in an outpatient surgical room with a laboratory close by, and a single procedure usually takes a few hours. Thin layers of skin are removed and examined under a microscope until no cancer cells remain. The method is used for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Afterward the treated site must stay covered with SPF 30 or higher, and the practice recommends a professional skin check once a year. The practice describes Mohs as one of the most effective and precise ways to remove skin cancer, a claim it makes about its own work.

Botox is offered for crow's feet, forehead lines, glabellar lines, brow lifts, gummy smiles and lip flips. A session can be done in about 15 minutes, and numbing cream is available on request. Botox can be combined with chemical peels, microneedling and other injectable fillers within a single plan. Aftercare includes wearing SPF 30 or higher and avoiding massage of the treated area for 24 hours. Results can appear within up to two weeks and typically last three to four months. The practice describes its injectable brands as the leading brands, a claim it makes about itself.

The practice sells its own medical-grade skincare line along with other dermatologist-approved skincare through its online store.

Medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology are handled in one practice, and cosmetic plans are customized after a consultation.
