NORTH TEXAS DERMATOLOGY PRACTICE ANNOUNCES EXPANSION TO THE TOWN OF ADDISON

4,200 Square-Foot State-of-the Art Facility to offer Medical, Pediatric and Cosmetic Dermatology and a Special Day of Free Skin Cancer Screenings

DALLAS (July 2, 2012) – Skin Specialists of Allen, a leading provider of medical, pediatric and cosmetic dermatology services, recently announced its planned expansion to the town of Addison. Skin Specialists of Addison will premier its new 4,200 square-foot state-of-the art facility on Monday, July 23, 2012. The new facility will be the practice’s second North Texas location and will provide services for the treatment of diseases of the skin, hair and nails.

“We are extremely thrilled about our expansion and the ability to fill the current void of board-certified dermatologists in Addison and its nearby surrounding areas,” said Dr. Tanya Reddick Rodgers, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Skin Specialists of Allen/Addison. “Skin Specialists of Addison will staff two physicians and nurse practioners to serve the needs of the community, while providing awareness about the importance of skin protection, skin maintenance and skin health.”

Skin Specialists of Addison transforms lives by bringing out the beauty and health of skin, hair and nails for patients of every race, age and gender. From acne, birth marks and eczema to hair loss, psoriasis and skin cancer, the practice’s highly-accredited team of physicians and nurse practitioners craft effective solutions for treating bothersome and sometimes life-threatening skin conditions. Dermatological surgery procedures are often performed to remove cysts, moles, skin tags and skin cancer. Skin Specialists of Addison also conducts cosmetic procedures such as laser treatments, Botox®, Dysport™, dermal fillers for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds, chemical peels, sclerotherapy for leg veins, earlobe repair and ear piercing. Additionally, patients can choose from a complete line of physician-grade skincare products, including Dr. Rodgers’ own line, Avène, Biopelle, GLYTONE, Vanicream™, and EltaMD™.

“Each of our services and procedures are performed by a team of MDs and nurse practitioners with over 20 combined years of experience in dermatology. They each have undergone an extensive evaluation of clinical skills and bed-side manner prior to serving our patients,” says Dr. Rodgers. “This knowledge is important for patients during a time when many doctors trained to practice in other medical specialties are simply taking a few select courses in dermatology before making medical diagnoses and performing cosmetic procedures.”

Located in the heart of Addison at 5304 Beltline Road, Skin Specialists of Addison’s new facility is home to modern technology and equipment. Boasting an upscale décor, welcoming environment and the latest amenities, patients receive a perfect mix of tradition and innovation. The practice offers its signature dermatologic surgery, medical dermatology, pediatric dermatology and cosmetic dermatology, while premiering new services and procedures such as Zeltiq Coolsculpting®, an FDA-approved, non-surgical device that uses precisely controlled cooling to destroy fat cells, thereby reducing fat, trimming love handles and slimming the abdomen. In addition, Vanderbilt University Medical School graduate; Dr. Shehnaz Sarmast will join the Skin Specialists of Addison team as a lead physician.

In celebration of its grand opening, Skin Specialists of Addison will be hosting a “SunBLOCK Party” on Saturday, July 21, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Skin Specialists of Addison team will be conducting free skin cancer screenings for the community, distributing complimentary dermatology approved sun block/sunscreen and providing free health smoothies at the new Addison location.
