POV: you finally booked a Hydrafacial 👀

Step into Mae’s treatment room for relaxation and a full skin reset. During your Hydrafacial Deluxe or Platinum:

• skin is deeply cleansed and gently exfoliated
• pores are cleared with light suction
• hydration and nutrients are infused back into the skin
• a customized booster (targeted serum) is selected for your skin’s specific needs

Mae can also elevate the treatment with meticulous manual extractions to clear more stubborn blackheads—the kind of detail that makes all the difference!

Every month, our team comes together for a focused staff meeting. This month featured a special Mohs presentation with Dr. Decker!

These meetings are a chance to share ideas and stay aligned on how we care for our patients. From team-wide discussions to smaller breakout groups, we look at what’s working, where we can improve, and how we continue to grow together.

We also take time to read through patient feedback (sent after each visit via text), and talk through it as a team. We love hearing you were satisfied with your care! 💙

It’s National Exosome Day ✨

One of the most exciting advancements in dermatology right now, exosomes are changing the way we think about skin repair and rejuvenation.

In this video, Dr. Decker breaks down what they are and why we’re so excited to incorporate them into treatment plans at SMD.

Think smarter healing. More refined results. A new layer of possibility in skin health.

This patient presented with a squamous cell carcinoma along the side of the nose, one of the most common types of skin cancer. In areas like this, preserving healthy skin is key to maintaining natural contour.

Using Mohs surgery, Dr. Decker removed the tumor in 2 stages, examining each layer under the microscope to ensure complete removal while conserving surrounding tissue.

The area was then reconstructed using an advancement flap; sliding adjacent skin over to cover the defect while allowing the scar lines to be well hidden within natural contours of the face.

At 2 months, the patient is cancer-free and healing beautifully.

What’s better than one Cullinane? Two!

We’re so lucky to have PA Cullinane’s daughter, Dylann, help our team at both the front and back office when she’s home from her college breaks. With her warmth and helpful nature, we’re fairly certain she has learned from the best!

Happy National Doctors’ Day!

Dermatologists are trained to diagnose and treat more than 3,000 skin conditions, often detecting signs of deeper health concerns along the way.

Today, we’re celebrating all physicians, and especially our own—Dr. Smith, Dr. Decker, and Dr. Westphal—whose expertise and care shape every patient experience at SMD.

Thank you for all that you do!

Strength is built with intention, and with the right team behind you.

In addition to esthetic treatments, many of our in-office body treatments like Emsculpt, are guided by Clinical Esthetician Mae, who helps ensure a seamless and comfortable experience from start to finish.

Emsculpt uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate powerful muscle contractions, helping support core strength and muscle tone in a way that goes beyond what workouts alone can achieve.

Dr. Smith’s Advice:
Before considering upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery, start with a comprehensive consultation and consider all options.

Depending on your anatomy and goals, the right plan might include:
• Subtle neuromodulator (Botox) to lift the brow
• Energy-based devices like Sofwave for skin tightening
• Or surgical eyelid rejuvenation

Not every concern requires surgery, and not every solution is one-size-fits-all.

The most important step is working with someone you trust who can walk you through each possibility and build a plan around your anatomy, not just a trend.
