A Dermatologist for Orange Beach, AL Residents
Orange Beach is one of the sunniest places on the Gulf Coast. Between the beaches, Perdido Pass and jobs that keep people outside on charter boats, at marinas and around the resorts, many residents collect a lot of sun by the time they reach middle age. Pensacola Dermatology welcomes Orange Beach patients at our office at 4850 Grande Dr in Pensacola, led by Dr. Amy Watson, a Pensacola native who founded the practice in 2004.
The Drive from Orange Beach
Our office is a little over 30 miles away. The usual route runs east on Perdido Beach Boulevard, across Perdido Key into Florida, then north into Pensacola. Expect about 45 minutes to an hour. Because all of our providers work from the one Pensacola office, you see the same team at every visit, and we try to keep waits short for patients who are driving in.
Sun Damage Care for Coastal Skin
Years of beach sun tend to show up as brown spots, uneven texture, fine lines and rough patches. Some of it is cosmetic. Some of it needs a medical look. Our providers sort out which is which, then build a plan that covers both:
- Skin cancer screenings to catch suspicious spots early.
- Treatment for actinic keratoses, the precancerous scaly spots that are common on sun-exposed skin.
- Skin cancer surgery when a biopsy confirms a cancer.
Cosmetic Treatments for Orange Beach Patients
Once your skin is healthy, you may want it to look refreshed too. Our cosmetic dermatology services include Botox for lines around the eyes and forehead and chemical peels to improve tone and texture after sun exposure. We will tell you honestly what each treatment can and cannot do for your skin.
Medical Dermatology Too
Heat and humidity can also aggravate rashes, rosacea and acne. Our medical dermatology team treats these along with eczema, psoriasis, warts and skin allergies, for adults and children alike.
Orange Beach Patient FAQs
I already use sunscreen. Do I still need a skin check?
Yes. Sunscreen lowers future risk, but it does not undo past exposure. A yearly full-body exam is the best way to find problems early.
Can I combine a skin check and a cosmetic consultation?
Let our team know when you book. We can talk about cosmetic options once any medical concerns have been addressed.
How do I schedule as a new patient?
Call, text or request an appointment online, and we will find a time that fits your drive.
