Why Chose a Board-Certified Dermatologist


Dr. Mueller is a Board-Certified Dermatologist, one of only 5 in Berks County. What is a Board-Certified Dermatologist and why is that important?

The skin is an incredible organ. It is your first line of defense against disease, protects your other organs, warms you up and cools you down, and sends messages about how healthy you are inside. Dermatologists are expert medical doctors and skin surgeons with the unique skills and experience to offer the best care for the organ that cares for you.

Dermatologists have extensive training, going to school for 12 years or more to learn to diagnose and treat more than 3,000 diseases of the skin, hair, and nails as well as cosmetic concerns. After successfully completing residency training in dermatology, a dermatologist can become board-certified, completing a challenging exam on the knowledge and skills acquired during their years of training. Board certification from the American Board of Dermatology, lets you know you are receiving care from someone who has received the most rigorous education in the field.  You can tell a dermatologist is board-certified if the letters FAAD appear after their name. FAAD stands for Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology.  https://www.aad.org/

It’s important to Dr. Mueller and the entire Clear Dermatology team to know that you will be getting expert care at your visit. Please call us today to make your appointment.

Baby Botox

September 7, 2022
Baby Botox, also called micro-Botox, is a trending version of Botox. Baby Botox works the same as traditional Botox but with smaller doses. This service is performed by Dr, Mueller and she will do a small number of injections in specific areas on the face. Once injected, the face looks younger and smoother. With Baby Botox, there are limited effects on the face, with less dramatic results versus a traditional Botox treatment. Baby Botox is used on facial areas that are more prone to wrinkles or fine lines. These targeted areas include the wrinkling at the forehead, crow’s feet, brow furrows, jawbone, lips, frown lines and neck. A good candidate for Baby Botox is someone who may not have had Botox before and wants to try it out. Another reason someone might get Baby Botox is if they are in their twenties and want to prevent fine lines before they start to appear.
