Forefront Dermatology – Atlanta: Full-Scale Medical, Mohs Surgical, and Elite Aesthetic Dermatology in Sandy Springs

Forefront Dermatology in Atlanta is a premier, full-service clinical facility and advanced skin cancer surgery institute located within the high-density medical corridor of North Atlanta/Sandy Springs.

Operating under a highly structured, patient-centric medical framework, the practice is anchored by a distinguished team of board-certified physicians, including Dr. Gregory J. Cox, MD, FAAD, Dr. Emily de Golian, MD, FAAD (a fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic and dermatologic surgeon), and Dr. Constance E. Ediale, MD, MS, FAAD. Supported by certified physician assistant Taylor Stone, PA-C, and an advanced staff of licensed clinical estheticians and assistant laser practitioners, the clinic rejects superficial med-spa shortcuts. Instead, they prioritize an integrated approach to skin health, combining strict diagnostic dermatology for complex pathologies with elite sub-dermal engineering and laser physics to restore structural epidermal integrity and deliver natural, expressive outcomes.

Full-Spectrum Clinical Pillars & Advanced Laser Fleet

The Peachtree Dunwoody campus features dedicated zones for pathology diagnosis, surgical tissue removal, and high-performance light and energy therapies:

• Fellowship-Trained Mohs Micrographic Surgery: Led by Dr. Emily de Golian, the facility serves as a major regional referral node for high-risk cutaneous oncology (skin cancer management). Utilizing layer-by-layer malignant tissue excision paired with immediate, on-site microscopic border mapping, their surgical team achieves the highest possible cure rates for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas while executing meticulous cosmetic reconstructions to minimize structural scarring on high-visibility areas of the face and neck.
• Medical Dermatology & Cutaneous Pathology: Comprehensive clinical evaluation and diagnostic management of acute and chronic skin, hair, and nail disorders—ranging from stubborn plaque psoriasis and complex eczema to active acne vulgaris, cyst excisions, and comprehensive full-body skin cancer screenings.
• Vascular & Pigmented Laser Engineering (Vbeam® & GentleYAG®): The practice operates an elite fleet of multi-wavelength medical lasers, featuring the Vbeam® pulsed-dye laser (PDL) to safely clear facial redness, rosacea flare-ups, and broken capillaries, alongside the high-peak-power GentleYAG® platform for advanced, multi-skin-tone laser hair removal.
• Advanced Laser Resurfacing, Tattoo Removal & Picotoning: Utilizing advanced energy-based devices (including the Lumenis M22 ResurFx) for non-ablative fractional resurfacing to vaporize embedded sun damage, erase trauma/acne scars, and clear unwanted ink tattoos or microblading pigments through ultra-fast acoustic fragmentation.
• Physician-Supervised Aesthetic Medicine: Delivering artful, anatomically mapped injectables using premium neuromodulators (Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport®) and advanced RHA® dermal fillers to smoothly restore structural mid-face volume loss while strictly preserving dynamic expression. Advanced medical skincare protocols include DiamondGlow® dermal infusions, micro-needling (SkinPen®), pharmaceutical-grade chemical peels, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments for hair thinning and skin rejuvenation.
