Dermatology is often seen as a field of medicine that is associated with pain and discomfort. However, the truth is that dermatology does not have to be painful. At Affinity Dermatology in Frisco, Texas, we use the latest technology and techniques to provide our patients with the most comfortable treatments possible.

Numbing Creams and Gels
One of the ways Dr. Carter and our experienced team minimize discomfort during our procedures is by using numbing creams and gels. These topical treatments can be applied to specific areas of your face or body, and they will reduce any sensations of pain. We frequently use these numbing creams and gels in our cosmetic dermatology services, such as Vivace® microneedling.
Cooling Devices
For certain procedures like laser treatments, we also use advanced cooling devices to protect your skin and make sure you remain comfortable the entire time you are at our dermatology clinic in Frisco. These cooling devices help to counteract the heat felt on your skin, resulting in an effective skin care treatment that is virtually painless.
Injectable Medications
Additionally, we may sometimes take advantage of injectable medications to reduce pain during various medical dermatology procedures, including biopsies or mole removals. The medications we use have been thoroughly tested and approved for use in these types of treatments, so you can rest assured that they will help make the procedure as pain-free as possible.
Pain-Free Dermatology Treatments
At Affinity Dermatology, our ultimate goal is to make your dermatology treatments completely comfortable, so you can relax and feel better about your appearance and health. Whether you are looking for facial injections or acne treatments, our team has the experience, expertise, and compassion to provide you with the best dermatology services in Frisco.
