Welcome to the Advanced Dermatology and Skin Surgery web site. Dr. Daniel Zivony founded Advanced Dermatology and Skin Surgery in March, 2003. Since that time, the practice has grown quickly and provides dermatologic care to a large number of patients in Western North Carolina. Our practice sees patients for general dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, and Mohs surgery. We have a professional and knowledgeable staff that will strive to meet your needs. We are located in a comfortable state of the art facility conveniently located in Regional Medical Park on Sweeten Creek Road just south of Interstate 40.

Lasers
We offer laser surgery for the treatment of unwanted blood vessels, brown spots, and excess hair. The two lasers we use are the V-Beam and GentleLase.

The V-Beam is used to treat a variety of vascular lesions that include telangiectasia (broken vessels), redness from rosacea, port wine stains, and hemangiomas. The laser produces a strong, but gentle burst of light that destroys the abnormal blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissue. Through a series of treatments, you will notice a decrease in redness and blood vessels and in some cases, complete disappearance. Click here for more information on the V-Beam laser.

The GentleLase is used to treat those unwanted brown spots called lentigines (sun spots) or age spots caused from sun over the years. Spots may be completely removed after the first treatment, but sometimes it may take more than one treatment. It is also possible the spots may still be there but with significant lightening. Click here for more information on the Gentlelase laser for the treatment of pigmented spots. The GentleLase is also used for excess hair. The laser interacts with the pigment in the hair root causing the hair to be removed with little harm to the surrounding tissue. The GentleLase only works with dark hair. Blond, gray and red hair have little or no pigment in them, so the laser is not able to target those as well. It may not be possible to have complete hair removal, but after a series of five treatments, you should see an 80% decrease in hair growth.
