Your skin does more than define how you look; it tells a story about your health, lifestyle, and confidence. At the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, dermatology services are designed to help your skin look its healthiest and feel its best. With a foundation in medical dermatology and a background in aesthetic care, our team creates personalized treatment plans that restore the health and natural beauty of your skin.
Seeing Skin Beyond the Surface
Healthy skin isn’t just about clear pores or even tone, it’s a reflection of what’s happening beneath. That’s why the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery blends medical dermatology with the insight and artistry of aesthetic care. By treating the full picture, patients experience results that feel natural and balanced.
Treatments such as microneedling and IPL photofacials are offered within our dermatology practice, combining the precision of medical oversight with the rejuvenating benefits often associated with aesthetic care. View our full list of dermatology services here.
The Connection Between Dermatology and Aesthetics
Traditional dermatology focuses on diagnosis and treatment. While this is essential, patients also want their results to look beautiful and harmonious. At the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, that expectation is built into every plan of care.
Here, dermatology and aesthetics are not separate disciplines, but complementary ones. This means:
- Conditions like acne, rosacea, or sun damage are addressed medically and aesthetically, supporting both skin health and appearance.
- Anti-aging strategies go beyond surface treatments to support long-term skin vitality.
- All skin treatments are performed with an understanding of both clinical effectiveness and visual refinement.
Dermatology Expertise That Inspires Confidence
At Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, our dermatology physician assistants, Colleen Van Egeren, PA-C, and Megan MacCarthy, PA-C, bring over 34 years of combined experience caring for skin, hair, and nails. Their training allows them to diagnose, treat, and follow up with patients directly.
Both providers are board-certified by the NCCPA and licensed to:
- Perform medical dermatology procedures
- Administer aesthetic treatments
- Develop and manage ongoing care plans
Patients often say what distinguishes their care is more than just the treatments; it’s the experience of being seen and understood. At Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, we believe that beautiful skin starts with education and trust—two things that define every visit.
