Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does Flower Mound Dermatology treat?
Flower Mound Dermatology treats the full range of medical, surgical, and cosmetic skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, warts, moles, rashes, hair loss, nail disorders, and all forms of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. We care for patients of all ages, from pediatric dermatology to adult and senior skin care, at our office in Flower Mound, Texas.
How often should I get a skin cancer screening in Texas?
Most adults should have a full-body skin cancer screening once a year, and Texans face above-average risk due to the state's high UV index and outdoor lifestyle. If you have fair skin, a history of sunburns or tanning bed use, many moles, or a personal or family history of skin cancer, your dermatologist may recommend screenings every 3–6 months. At Flower Mound Dermatology, an annual skin check takes about [15–20 minutes] and is covered by most insurance plans.
How do I know if a mole is cancerous?
Use the ABCDE rule: watch for Asymmetry, irregular Borders, uneven Color, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser (6mm), and Evolving size, shape, or color. Any mole that bleeds, itches, or looks different from your others ("the ugly duckling sign") should be examined by a board-certified dermatologist promptly. Flower Mound Dermatology can check suspicious moles and performs biopsies in-office. Do not delay.
What is the best treatment for acne that won't go away?
Persistent acne usually requires prescription treatment — over-the-counter products often aren't strong enough for moderate to severe or hormonal acne. Depending on your skin, a dermatologist may prescribe topical retinoids, oral antibiotics, spironolactone for hormonal acne, or isotretinoin (Accutane) for severe cystic acne. Flower Mound Dermatology creates personalized acne treatment plans for teens and adults across North Texas, and most patients see significant improvement within [8–12 weeks].
Does Flower Mound Dermatology offer Botox and cosmetic treatments?
Yes. Flower Mound Dermatology offers [Botox and Dysport injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, and laser hair removal], all performed by trained medical aestheticians under physician supervision. Because we are a medical dermatology practice — not a med spa — every cosmetic treatment begins with a professional skin assessment. Complimentary cosmetic consultations are available.
What insurance does Flower Mound Dermatology accept?
Flower Mound Dermatology accepts a wide range of major insurance plans. Please contact your insurance provider and ask if Dr. Isaac Perez is listed.
How quickly can I get a dermatology appointment in Flower Mound?
New patients at Flower Mound Dermatology are typically seen quickly, and urgent concerns such as suspicious moles, painful rashes, or infections are prioritized for same-week or same-day visits. You can call (972) 221-2784 for an appointment during office hours. This is often faster than the multi-week waits common at larger North Texas dermatology groups.
What should I expect at my first dermatologist appointment?
Your first visit at Flower Mound Dermatology includes a review of your medical history, a discussion of your skin concerns, and a focused or full-body skin exam depending on your reason for visiting. Wear easily removable clothing, skip makeup and nail polish if possible, and bring a list of your current medications and skincare products. Most first appointments take [20–30 minutes], and many treatments — including biopsies, cryotherapy for warts, and cortisone injections — can be done the same day.
Where is Flower Mound Dermatology located, and what areas do you serve?
Flower Mound Dermatology is located at 3821 Long Prairie Rd., Flower Mound, Texas. We serve patients from across southern Denton County and northeast Tarrant County, including Highland Village, Lewisville, Grapevine, Coppell, Argyle, Double Oak, Bartonville, Lantana, Corinth, and Denton.

When should I see a dermatologist instead of my primary care doctor?
See a dermatologist directly for any changing or suspicious mole, a rash that hasn't improved after two weeks of home care, persistent acne, unexplained hair loss, or chronic conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Board-certified dermatologists complete [three+] years of specialized training in skin disease, can perform biopsies and skin surgery in-office, and diagnose conditions primary care physicians commonly refer out. In most cases, going straight to Flower Mound Dermatology saves you an extra visit and gets you an accurate diagnosis sooner.
Kind words from one of our patients...
"I have been going to Flower Mound Dermatology for the last two years. I was diagnosed with melanoma by P.A Ray Vaughn. He saved my life. We have gotten to really know each other over the past couple of years. This is an office where they really want to know about you and your life. Great office, and I recommend them to everyone I know."
