The Goal Never Changes
help you feel good about the skin you’re in, and make sure it’s as healthy as it looks.
Our providers diagnose and treat common and complex conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. We also offer cosmetic treatments for patients who want to address concerns such as fine lines, uneven pigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, or changes in skin texture.
Treatment may involve prescription medications, in-office procedures, minimally invasive cosmetic services, or ongoing management for chronic skin conditions. Your provider will explain your options, what you can reasonably expect from treatment, and whether follow-up care or downtime may be necessary.
Chemical peels can improve concerns such as uneven texture, discoloration, acne, dullness, and visible sun damage by removing damaged outer layers of skin. As the skin renews, it may appear smoother, clearer, and more evenly toned. Your provider will evaluate your skin and recommend an appropriate peel and treatment depth based on your concerns and goals.
VI Peels are medical-grade chemical peels that can address concerns including acne, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, rough texture, and sun damage. Visible peeling can occur during the recovery period, so it is important to consider work, social activities, and other obligations when scheduling treatment. Our team will explain the treatment and aftercare process and help determine whether a VI Peel is appropriate for your skin.
Botox can soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lines between the eyebrows. Our approach focuses on balanced, natural-looking results rather than an overtreated appearance. Before treatment, your provider will evaluate your facial movement, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels that stimulate the skin’s natural repair process and support collagen production. Treatment can gradually improve concerns such as acne scars, uneven texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality. Depending on your skin and the results you want to achieve, your provider may recommend a series of treatments.
Acne can affect teenagers and adults and may be influenced by factors such as hormones, genetics, stress, medications, skin-care products, and environmental conditions. Treatment may include topical medications, oral medications, chemical peels, or other in-office therapies. Our objective is to reduce active breakouts and future flare-ups and help prevent permanent acne scarring.
Eczema can cause itching, dryness, inflammation, cracking, and ongoing discomfort. Symptoms may worsen because of weather changes, allergens, irritating products, stress, or other environmental triggers. Depending on your symptoms and their severity, treatment may include skin-care changes, prescription topical treatments, anti-inflammatory medications, or advanced therapies.
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated condition that can cause raised, scaly, or inflamed areas of skin. Flare-ups may be uncomfortable and difficult to manage without appropriate treatment. Depending on the type, location, and severity of your psoriasis, treatment may include topical medications, phototherapy, oral medication, or injectable biologic therapy.
Rosacea may cause occasional flushing, persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, skin sensitivity, or acne-like bumps. Sun exposure, heat, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and certain skin-care products may trigger symptoms in some patients. Identifying individual triggers and following a consistent treatment plan can help reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups.
Routine skin examinations can help identify suspicious or changing growths as early as possible. Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma can look different from one patient to another, and some skin cancers may not be obvious without a professional examination.
For Fort Worth patients with years of Texas sun exposure, routine skin checks can be an important part of maintaining skin health. If you notice a mole or spot that is new, changing, bleeding, not healing, or otherwise concerning, a dermatology evaluation can help determine whether further testing or treatment is appropriate.
Skin cancer treatment depends on factors such as the type, size, location, and depth of the cancer as well as the individual needs of the patient. Treatment options may include surgical removal, Mohs surgery, or other approaches intended to remove cancerous cells while preserving healthy surrounding tissue whenever possible.
Fort Worth’s sunny climate means sun protection remains relevant throughout much of the year. Using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, seeking shade when appropriate, and monitoring your skin for changes can all play a role in protecting your skin over time. For specialized evaluation and treatment options, patients can also learn more from NorthStar Mohs.
Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. We care for Fort Worth patients with acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, rashes, warts, infections, hair loss, suspicious growths, and other dermatologic concerns. Our providers consider more than the visible symptoms. Your medical history, previous treatments, lifestyle, skin type, and other factors can help determine which treatment approach is appropriate for you.
Our cosmetic dermatology services are designed for patients who want to address concerns such as fine lines, discoloration, uneven texture, acne scarring, or visible signs of sun exposure and aging. Treatment begins with an evaluation of your skin and a discussion about what you want to improve. From Botox and dermal fillers to microneedling and chemical peels, recommendations are based on your individual needs with an emphasis on balanced, natural-looking results.
Some skin conditions require a surgical procedure for diagnosis or treatment. Northstar Dermatology provides biopsies, excisions, mole removal, cyst removal, skin cancer surgery, Mohs surgery, basal cell carcinoma removal, and other surgical dermatology services at our North Richland Hills office. Your provider will explain why a procedure is recommended, what it involves, and what you can expect during recovery and follow-up care.
Your appointment begins with a discussion about your primary concerns, relevant medical history, current medications, previous treatments, and what you hope to accomplish with your care.
Your provider will examine the affected areas and explain the findings in clear language. When treatment is recommended, we will discuss the available options, potential benefits, possible side effects, expected timeline, and any follow-up requirements so you understand what comes next.
Some skin conditions require ongoing care rather than a single treatment. When necessary, we will monitor your progress and adjust your care plan as your symptoms, skin, or treatment goals change. Our objective is to make your experience understandable and comfortable from your initial evaluation through follow-up care.
No two patients have the same skin, health history, lifestyle, or treatment goals. Your care plan should reflect those differences.
We consider factors such as your symptoms, skin type, previous treatments, sensitivities, medical history, daily activities, and preferred level of downtime before recommending treatment. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our providers listen to your concerns and develop a plan based on what is appropriate for your skin and your goals.
Our clinical team includes board-certified dermatologists and experienced physician assistants who provide medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology care. Board certification reflects specialized dermatology education, clinical training, and examination beyond general medical training.
Fort Worth patients receive care from a team equipped to address everyday skin concerns, chronic conditions, suspicious growths, skin cancer, and cosmetic goals within one dermatology practice.
Skin health and appearance are often connected. Acne can leave scarring and discoloration. Years of sun exposure can contribute to visible signs of aging as well as skin cancer risk. Chronic skin conditions can affect comfort, appearance, and everyday activities.
By providing medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, our team can evaluate these concerns together and recommend care based on the complete picture rather than treating each issue in isolation.
Dermatology continues to change as new medications, procedures, and technologies become available. Our providers use current treatment protocols and technologies to deliver care that reflects modern dermatologic practice.
A treatment will not be recommended simply because it is available. Your provider will consider whether it is appropriate for your condition, health history, goals, and expected outcome before incorporating it into your treatment plan.
You should understand what is happening with your skin and why a particular treatment is being recommended. Our team prioritizes clear communication, patient comfort, and individualized care throughout each appointment.
We explain diagnoses and treatment options without unnecessary medical jargon and give you an opportunity to ask questions before making decisions about your care.
You do not need to wait for a skin concern to become more uncomfortable, noticeable, or difficult to manage before seeing a dermatologist. Whether you need a routine skin examination, help managing acne or eczema, evaluation of a changing spot, treatment for a chronic condition, or a cosmetic consultation, Northstar Dermatology provides care based on your individual needs.
We welcome patients from Fort Worth, including North Fort Worth, Central Fort Worth, West Fort Worth, and surrounding communities, to our North Richland Hills office. Our team will work with you to understand your concerns, explain your options, and create a treatment plan focused on healthier skin and results that make sense for you.
