The practice's core service lines are medical dermatology (diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, skin cancer, and warts), surgical dermatology (Mohs micrographic surgery, excisions, biopsies, XTRAC laser, photodynamic therapy), and cosmetic dermatology (chemical peels, Laser Genesis, laser hair removal, laser vein treatments, microdermabrasion, microneedling). Patient-facing technology includes online scheduling, a patient portal hosted on the Modernizing Medicine (EMA) platform, online bill pay, and a skincare e-commerce shop. A formal provider referral program also accepts inbound patient referrals from other healthcare providers.

Charlotte Dermatology operates as an affiliate of DOCS Dermatology Group under the legal entity DOCS, LLC, gaining access to a network of 275+ providers, shared clinical best practices, innovative treatments, and research capabilities. The business model is professional services fee-for-service, with revenue from insurance-billed medical dermatology, surgical procedures, and self-pay cosmetic services distributed across a long tail of individual consumer patients, with no disclosed enterprise or institutional customer concentration.

Emerging players
