Our goal is to enhance the skin health and well-being of our patients and the communities we serve. We’re here to listen, understand your unique health goals, and partner with you to help you achieve them.
Individualized care for your skin.

Dermatology Care
-
Acne can be triggered by a variety of factors—including excess oil production, underlying health conditions, hormonal changes, and even certain medications. At Cobb Dermatology, our team is here to help you improve your skin’s appearance and prevent future breakouts through a personalized treatment approach.
Depending on the severity of your acne, your provider may recommend a combination of topical products, oral medications, or both. These treatments are designed to reduce inflammation, control oil production, and promote healthy skin cell turnover. We’ll also guide you on lifestyle habits that support long-term skin clarity—because effective acne care is more than a quick fix, it’s a journey to lasting skin health.

Psoriasis is a systemic condition which affects the skin and other organs like the joints. It is also associated with other major diseases like coronary artery disease, metabolic syndrome, and mental health diseases. Studies show that treatment of psoriasis not only helps with the skin, but also with overall health.
While psoriasis isn’t curable, it is highly manageable with the right treatment plan. Our dermatology team offers a range of therapies tailored to your needs, including topical medications, oral treatments, and biologic therapies. We take a comprehensive, long-term approach to care—partnering with you through regular follow-ups to minimize flares, relieve symptoms, and help you regain comfort in your skin.
-
Your skin is your body’s first line of defense—shielding you from infections, injuries, and harmful sun exposure. But it’s also a powerful communicator and can represent a deeper problem.
Rashes can be triggered by a range of factors—from allergic reactions and irritants to underlying medical conditions. Our dermatology team is here to identify the cause and develop a personalized treatment plan to bring you relief and help prevent future flare-ups.
-
Hair and nails are often overlooked when it comes to dermatologic care—but they can reveal important insights about your overall health. Whether you're experiencing cosmetic concerns or underlying medical issues affecting your hair or nails, our team of dermatology experts is here to help.
We’ll work with you to identify the root cause of your symptoms and offer personalized treatment options to restore health, improve appearance, and address any discomfort.

Warts are common skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or by touching contaminated surfaces. If left untreated, warts may spread to other areas of the body or to others around you.
While most warts are harmless and may eventually go away on their own, they can be uncomfortable, persistent, and sometimes embarrassing. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of pain, spreading, and scarring.
At Cobb Dermatology, we offer a range of effective wart treatments tailored to your needs—including topical prescriptions, cryosurgery, and curettage (surgical removal). Our providers will determine the best option for you to restore healthy, clear skin as quickly and comfortably as possible.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, affecting over a million Americans each year. According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, experiencing just five severe sunburns in your lifetime can double your risk of developing skin cancer. The good news? When detected early, skin cancer is highly treatable—with a 99% cure rate.
Whether you work outdoors, enjoy beach days, or have used tanning beds in the past, regular skin exams are essential. At Cobb Dermatology, we often recommend an annual Skin Check to help catch potential issues early and keep your skin healthy for years to come.
Don’t wait for a warning sign—make your skin health a priority.
-
Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that most often affects middle-aged women, particularly those with fair skin. It’s characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, red bumps, and frequent flushing—often triggered by stress, extreme temperatures, or certain foods. While typically not painful, rosacea can cause a burning or stinging sensation and may affect one’s confidence and quality of life.
At Cobb Dermatology, our medical and aesthetic providers often work together to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs. From calming inflammation and minimizing redness to improving the appearance of broken capillaries and reducing flare-ups, we’re here to help you regain control and feel confident in your skin.
-
We proudly partner with The Education & Research Foundation to offer our patients access to a multitude of clinical research studies.

Mohs surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure known for its high cure rates, achieving up to a 99% success rate for most skin cancers. This technique combines precise surgical removal with microscopic analysis of the tissue margins. This ensures the complete removal of cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Medical Aesthetics
-
Neuromodulator injections temporarily relax targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Common treatment areas include glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), forehead lines, and crow’s feet (lines around the eyes). Additional uses include the lower face, neck bands, “lip flip,” and more. We offer a range of FDA-approved neuromodulators, including Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®. Our experienced injectors will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment options based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
-
Dermal fillers are a versatile treatment used to restore lost volume, smooth moderate to deep wrinkles, and soften unwanted facial shadows—helping you achieve a more refreshed, youthful look. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, and are formulated into a medical-grade gel that can be precisely placed in various areas of the face. At our office, we offer a wide range of dermal fillers, including Juvederm®, RHA®, and Restylane®, thoughtfully chosen by our skilled aesthetic providers to match your unique goals and individual needs.
-
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. This process helps to smooth imperfections, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and acne scars, improve skin texture, and enhance overall complexion. We offer advanced microneedling options, including treatments with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), as well as microneedling combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy for even more options for skin rejuvenation.
-
Whether you're seeking a light exfoliation or a more intensive skin renewal, chemical peels are a powerful way to revitalize your complexion. They help improve skin tone and texture, soften fine lines, and reduce the appearance of sun damage. Chemical peels can also target concerns like brown spots, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and unwanted redness. Our providers will select the most suitable peel from our range of options to support your unique skin goals.
-
At Cobb Dermatology, we offer a comprehensive range of laser treatments, including laser therapy for broken blood vessels, laser hair reduction, erbium skin resurfacing, and CO2 laser resurfacing.

Intense-Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to address a variety of skin concerns. IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target and treat issues such as sun damage, age spots, rosacea, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. By stimulating collagen production, IPL also improves skin texture and reduces fine lines, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful complexion. IPL therapy requires minimal downtime and delivers visible results after just a few sessions. Rediscover your skin's natural radiance with IPL—safe, effective, and non-invasive.
-
If you're bothered by unwanted spider veins on your legs, our skilled aesthetics team offers Asclera® injections—an effective treatment designed to visibly reduce the appearance of these common veins. In addition to sclerotherapy, we also offer vascular laser treatments, and in many cases, a combination of both may provide the most optimal results. During your consultation, our team will create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve smoother, clearer-looking skin.
