Some of the laser skin rejuvenations treatments that our office is fully equipped with:
Micro dermabrasion has many benefits. It helps with pigmentation, lessening of fine lines and wrinkles and evens out the tone and texture of the skin. After four to six treatments, you can notice some of the pigmentation diminishing. It is a superficial exfoliation which requires no downtime. Your face will appear to have a sunburn right after the dermabrasion treatment, but after 24 hours it will go away. Continue reading “Microdermabrasion Treatment”

Privacy and patient confidentiality is very important at Jupiter Dermatology. The office design is set up for this by having a secondary waiting area after check in. This way, when a patients come in to the reception area they are able to freely discuss private concerns. Additionally, great care was taken to construct the office for soundproofing. The walls are double insulated and the doors are solid core.
In this video, Dr. Mejia talks to Jane about his goals for the patients when they come to the office. He speaks about the quality of the staff he hires to make sure that his patients are attended to and serviced.
At Jupiter Dermatology, we are pleased to have an extremely qualified Physician Assistant, Sarah Martin, who also has the same caring and compassion for all the patients. In 2009, Dr. Mejia took the recertification examination sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology.
Note on discussion in video: In 2009, Dr. Mejia took the recertification examination sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology. To make sure that his physician assistant practices at the same level of any dermatologist, Dr. Mejia administered the same examination to his physician assistant. Physician assistants and dermatologist do not take the same board examinations Physician assistants and dermatologist do not take the same board examinations.
Dr. Mejia shares his philosophy in his work. When patients come into the office, he wants to make sure that everyone receives the very best care and putting his soul into it. As he states in this short two minute video:
“I am not here to do dermatology. My main priority is to take care of my patients. I am not happy if my patients are not happy. If I can solve your problem and do what you want me to do in a relaxing and fun environment, then everyone wins.”
Our patient, Larry who recently spoke about his experience with , is at a follow up visit with Dr. Mejia who is a reputable skin cancer surgeon in South Florida. He shows some images of the basal cell carcinoma before the surgery. In this case, the patient neglected to take care of it earlier and it grew larger as time passed. Luckily with the Mohs skin cancer procedure, all the roots of the basal cells are removed .
After the removal of the skin cancer, Dr. Mejia did a plastic surgery closure which involved a flap procedure. Cosmetically, the patient is very happy with the result since the scar is hardly noticable because of the reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Mejia’s recommendation: Wear your sunblock and if you see any spots that are not healing, seek dermatological help.
Our patient, Larry, shares his experience with a skin cancer treatment called Mohs Surgery. He was concerned not only for his health, but because he works as a sales manager who meets the public frequently.
In this video above you will see some pictures of before and after the surgery and how well the scar healed. Thank you Larry for sharing this.
Dr. Mejia was doing a reconstructive surgery on a patient’s nose after the patient underwent Mohs skin cancer surgery. Dr. Mejia performs both procedures. This alleviates the patient from having to go seek another doctor to do plastic surgery after the Mohs. Not only does it save time and stress, it also is cost effective.
Here Dr. Mejia is checking skin cancer slides to make sure margins are clear.
