ADVANCED DERMATOLOGY OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI PC

What ADVANCED DERMATOLOGY OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI PC does

Advanced Dermatology of Southeast Missouri PC is a privately-held professional dermatology corporation founded in 2009 by Dr. Charles Moon and headquartered in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The practice operates two clinic locations (Cape Girardeau headquarters and a Dexter satellite) and serves patients across Southeast Missouri across all age groups. It employs approximately 10 providers — three board-certified dermatologists (including two fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons), multiple nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and an office manager — alongside the adjacent Shine Medical Aesthetics spa, a wholly-owned cosmetic subsidiary established in 2013.

The practice delivers an integrated medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology offering. Medical services cover over 3,000 dermatological conditions including acne, eczema, rosacea, skin infections, and skin cancer detection. Surgical services are anchored by Mohs Micrographic Surgery with a 98-99% cure rate, supported by an on-site Missouri state-certified laboratory (comparable to hospital certification) that enables approximately 24-hour biopsy turnaround with in-house dermato-pathology interpretation. Cosmetic services include Botox/Xeomin/Dysport, dermal fillers (Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse), Vanquish non-invasive fat reduction, miraDry sweat reduction, Sciton BBL photofacial, IPL laser hair removal, SkinTyte skin firming, and chemical peels — the spa channel at Shine Medical Aesthetics complements these with licensed-aesthetician-delivered treatments.

The business model blends insurance-billed medical and surgical dermatology (most private insurance plans and Medicare accepted) with self-pay cosmetic procedures priced via individualized consultation. Patient acquisition relies on a formalized provider referral network, direct appointments (phone-based scheduling), and a website plus social media presence. Both Dr. Moon and Dr. Limbert are Fellows of the American Society for Mohs Surgery, and Dr. Limbert alone has performed over 10,000 Mohs surgeries since 2015. The practice is founder-owned with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or M&A activity.

Functional benefit

Brands

• Shine Medical Aesthetics: Adjacent spa setting offering cosmetic procedures including Botox, fillers, chemical peels, laser hair removal, and other aesthetic treatments performed by licensed aestheticians. Located adjacent to the main Advanced Dermatology practice.

Products and services

• General Medical Dermatology
• Skin Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
• Skin Biopsy Diagnostic sampling of skin tissue processed in the practice's Missouri state-certified laboratory and interpreted under microscope by board-certified dermatologists to diagnose skin cancer or problematic rashes, with results typically returned in approximately 24 hours.
• Mohs Micrographic Surgery Highly specialized outpatient skin cancer removal technique performed under local anesthesia with a 98-99% cure rate, examining 100% of tissue margins under microscope while sparing normal surrounding tissue. Performed by fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons Dr. Moon and Dr. Limbert.
• Botox Injections Prescription injections into facial muscles to reduce frown lines between the eyebrows, wrinkle lines on the forehead, and crow's feet around the eyes; effects last four to six months. The practice offers all three brands available in the United States: Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport.
• Filler Injections Injectable treatments that add volume and smoothness to skin, correcting facial wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose, and augmenting areas of facial volume loss like the temples and cheeks. Effects last six to twenty-four months depending on filler type and area. Includes Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Voluma, Belotero, Radiesse, Restylane, and Restylane Silk.
• Vanquish Non-Invasive Fat Reduction Non-invasive, non-surgical radiofrequency procedure for permanent fat reduction targeting abdomen, flanks, back, saddlebags, and inner and outer thighs, with no downtime between treatments.
• miraDry Sweat Reduction Non-invasive procedure that uses thermal energy to permanently reduce or eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. Because the glands do not regenerate, results are lasting with minimal downtime.
• Chemical Peels Superficial chemical peels using glycolic or salicylic acid renew skin tone and texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, fade discoloration, and clear acne-prone skin. Deeper TCA peels performed by Dr. Moon target severe sun damage, freckles, deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, and large pore size.
• Photofacial/Phototherapy (Sciton BBL) IPL laser treatment targeting redness, blood vessels, and brown spots caused by aging, genetics, and sun exposure. No downtime and customizable for rosacea-prone skin and sun damage.
• Laser Hair Removal (IPL) Intense Pulsed Light treatment for safe, rapid hair reduction that targets hair follicle roots deep within the skin, ideally suited for dark, coarse hair on the bikini area, face, and extremities.
• Skin Firming / Skintyte Laser procedure that delivers light energy to areas of skin laxity to stimulate collagen production, tightening loose skin around the eyes, cheeks, and neck.
• Shine Medical Aesthetics Spa Services Adjacent spa offering cosmetic procedures in a relaxing spa setting performed by licensed aestheticians, including additional Botox, filler, laser hair removal, chemical peels, and skin rejuvenation services. Operates as a wholly-owned adjacent subsidiary.

Others

• SkinMedica: Allergan Aesthetics-owned medical-grade skincare brand. Adjacent product supplier relevant to Advanced Dermatology's cosmetic and Shine Medical Aesthetics offerings, as dermatology practices often retail physician-dispensed skincare lines.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Dermatology Partners: One of the largest dermatology practice platforms in the U.S., with 100+ locations across multiple states. Comparable to Advanced Dermatology in offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology including Mohs surgery, but at vastly greater scale and with PE backing.
• Forefront Dermatology: Multi-state dermatology practice network with 200+ locations offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. A direct competitor in the multi-site dermatology practice space with a similar service mix to Advanced Dermatology.
• MD Anderson Cancer Center: Leading academic cancer center with a comprehensive dermatology and skin cancer program. Indirect competitor for complex skin cancer cases that may require multidisciplinary oncology care, but operates at vastly different scale and complexity.
• Schweiger Dermatology Group: Large multi-location dermatology group operating across the Northeast U.S. with full medical, surgical, and cosmetic service offerings including Mohs surgery. Similar integrated care model but at substantially larger scale than Advanced Dermatology of Southeast Missouri.

Emerging players

• Castle Biosciences: Diagnostics company providing molecular tests for skin cancer risk stratification (e.g., DecisionDx-Melanoma). Adjacent to Advanced Dermatology's skin cancer diagnostic workflow, with potential to supplement or compete with the practice's in-house lab capabilities.
• DermTech: Genomics-based non-invasive skin cancer detection company offering the Pigmented Lesion Assay. Represents an emerging diagnostic alternative that could complement or substitute for biopsy-based skin cancer detection workflows like those at Advanced Dermatology's in-house lab.
• Therapixel: AI-based medical imaging company with mammography screening products and emerging dermatology AI capabilities. Emerging player in dermatology AI diagnostics that could eventually augment or compete with traditional visual inspection and biopsy workflows.

Direct peers

• Epiphany Dermatology: PE-backed regional dermatology practice platform with multiple locations providing medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology services. Directly comparable in service mix and growth model to Advanced Dermatology, with PE-backed acquisition strategy.
• Riverchase Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery: Multi-location dermatology and cosmetic surgery practice in Florida offering Mohs surgery, medical dermatology, and cosmetic services. Comparable service stack and physician-led model, though at larger scale in a different region.
