Top-Rated Dermatology & Skin Health Center in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico – Longevity Medical Institute®

• Expert Leadership: Dr. Ross is a U.S. board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon with over 40 years of elite experience.

• Unique Qualifications: As one of the only physicians fully licensed to practice in both the United States and Mexico, and the only one of his kind in Los Cabos, he brings world-class dermatologic care to the region. His expertise spans complex skin cancer treatment, dermatologic surgery, and aesthetic procedures.

How It Works:

• Using a technique called Elastic Scattering Spectroscopy (ESS), DermaSensor™ analyzes how light reflects off cellular structures within the skin.

• It compares this light pattern to a vast database of known benign and malignant lesions, helping our team assess the likelihood of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma—on the spot. Studies show DermaSensor has a sensitivity rate exceeding 90%.

Why It Matters:

• For patients, this means faster answers, fewer unnecessary procedures, and greater peace of mind—delivered with cutting-edge technology in a private, luxury setting.

• When combined with full-body skin checks and physician expertise, it helps reduce unnecessary biopsies while ensuring no early warning signs are missed.

Conditions treated include acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, pigmentation disorders, allergic rashes, hives, and viral, bacterial, or fungal skin infections. Our approach is holistic: we not only treat the symptoms but work to uncover and manage underlying causes—supporting patients with chronic conditions through education, lifestyle support, and integrative therapies. This comprehensive approach defines our commitment to Mexican Skin Care.

• Minor Procedures: Routine procedures such as biopsies, removal of moles, cysts, and skin tags, and treatment of pre-cancerous lesions using cryotherapy or electrosurgery are performed in our clinical dermatology suite.

• Complex Surgeries: For more complex surgical needs—including the removal of skin cancers or more cosmetically sensitive excisions—Dr. Ross operates out of LMI®’s state-of-the-art surgical suite, designed to meet the highest international standards for safety and precision. Here, patients receive the same level of care they would expect from top U.S. surgical centers.

• He also manages scalp conditions, such as seborrheic dermatitis, and works in tandem with our regenerative medicine team.

• We offer advanced therapies such as peptide-based treatments, exosome facials, and cellular rejuvenation protocols—making LMI® one of the few clinics worldwide where aesthetic and medical dermatology are so seamlessly integrated.
