Your skin is the first thing that most people see when they greet you. Having bright clear skin is something that is desirable. Dr. Robert C. Griffith and Dr. Robert D. Griffith are both board-certified dermatologists at Griffith Dermatology in Knoxville, TN who provide a full spectrum of dermatology treatments, both medical and cosmetic.

When You Need a Skin Cancer Screening

The number one type of cancer in the US is skin cancer. It is curable if it is caught in its early stages. Getting a skin cancer screening is quite easy and it could save your life. If you are at average risk, then skin cancer screening once a year is recommended. If you have an increased level of risk, then more often is a better option. Our dermatologist will discuss with you how often is right for you.

If Wrinkles Make You Feel Older

Aging may be unavoidable, but looking older isn't guaranteed. Your dermatologist has a wide variety of options to help your skin look younger. Whether it is a facial peel to remove years of sun damage and aging or dermal fillers to give you fewer wrinkles, you can hold off the aging process for quite some time.

You Suffer From Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes flushing or blushing of the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin. It may come and go but usually, after age 30, it becomes more pronounced. In about 50% of cases, rosacea also affects the eyes. It is more severe in men, but more women have it. While it is a chronic condition, it does respond to some treatments that our dermatologists can provide.

You Need Treatment for Skin Rashes

Every member of the family can suffer from skin rash from the littlest baby to the elderly. Your dermatologist will examine the rash, determine what type of rash it is, and provide the treatment that your type of rash requires.

Acne Makes You Self-conscious

Your dermatologist has lots of options to treat acne. The type of acne and severity will determine the best treatment. Acne scars can be removed with laser therapy.

You Don’t Like Your Double Chin

At Griffith Dermatology, treatment with KYBELLA is available. When it is injected into the fat under your chin, it breaks down the fat cells. Once they are broken down, they will never fill with fat again, and you will have a much firmer chin line.
