Philosophy

Growing up with less-than-desirable skin has enabled Dr. Ann C. Zedlitz to understand the health issues and emotional pain that come with dermatological problems. “I have made it my life’s work to help others avoid or overcome similar experiences,” says Dr. Zedlitz. Her approach to dermatology has allowed her to empower patients with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions on the best treatment plans that yield the most natural-looking results. “I reassure my patients that with my exceptional medical and artistic skills I will give them the opportunity to preserve and enhance each aspect of their own attractiveness,” says the doctor.

About My Practice

How do you relate to your patients?

I have tried every procedure that I offer so that I know what they are going through. If it's not effective or something that I would give myself or a family member, then I do not use it in my practice.

Has there been any great advice that you've received?

To always remember my roots. I've come from a very poor and humble background, so I am appreciative of life and the goodness that it can hold.

What is most important to you when doing patient treatments?

Comfort. When I perform a procedure on a patient, I want them to feel relaxed. This relaxation starts with educating the patient on the procedure so that they know what to expect. They are comforted by my well-trained staff and my board certification in dermatology. My emergency medicine background helps me keep the patient relaxed and pain-free before, during and after the procedure.

About Me

Is there anything that you are never without?

A smile, because I am truly happy with the field of medicine that I am in. I love helping my patients to feel beautiful and thank each of them with a hand-written note.

Why did you become a dermatologist?

I love helping people feel more confident about themselves! In dermatology, there are so many modalities that give me the ability to help patients achieve their healthy skin goals. If you wake up and don’t like what you see in the mirror, that can set the tone for the day and maybe even the rest of your life. If I can change the reflection so that you like what you see, then I can help you feel empowered in your careers, relationships and friendships.

What accomplishments are you most proud of?

In 2015 I was selected by my peers for the prestigious, nationally acclaimed Castle Connolly Top Doctor in the specialty of Dermatology.

FAQs

  1. Can you tell me what a Jessner peel is and exactly how it differs from other peels that are more commonly talked about?
    What our experts say:

    Jessner's solution has been used for over 100 hundred years. A Jessner's peel is a combination of different acids to make for a superficial peel. It contains lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol in an alcohol base. I love this peel as part of a maintenance regimen. I like it for all skin types. Many of my acne patients are on these. I like to jump start things with a series of three peels three weeks apart.

  2. For optimum results, how often should I get a chemical peel?
    What our experts say:

    I recommend chemical peels quite often.  I think chemical peels are a underutilized as a way to keep your skin looking its best.  I love superficial peels once a month. The type of peeling agent depends on your skin type, dryer skin-glycolic, oily skin-salicylic.

  3. Are there any non invasive procedures/creams that will lighten the appearance of stretch marks?
    What our experts say:
    The procedures that help with stria are fractionated 1540 laser treatments every 3-4 weeks for 5-6 treatments.  This really helps blur the edges of the scar and promote collagen synthesis. It also helps to diminish the redness from blood vessels, since it helps on 2 different areas, it is my favorite procedure for stretch marks. As far as creams go, don't believe the claims on the label.  I like to put my patients on a tretinoin cream to help with stria.  It needs to be a strength that does not cause too much irritation, this skin is fragile to start.
  4. Do people normally get both top and bottom lip enhanced?
    What our experts say:

    I usually touch up both upper and lower lips.  Most patients don't need both lips done equally.  I like to keep a natural proportion of upper lip to lower lip of 1.5-2 to 3

  5. What is the difference between Restylane Lyft and other fillers that are being offered by Doctors?
    What our experts say:

    Restylane Lyft is a filler from the HA (Hyaluronic Acid) class.  The fillers in the class are reversible.  I like these fillers for a pt having them done for the first time.  It is always good to have options, and reversibility is nice. Restylane Lyft is a filler that has a higher viscosity. This allows us to use it for structure or "scaffolding" of the face.  It allows for more robust volumization when structure is lacking - loss of bone.

Testimonials

"Z" Skin Care Line is by Far The Best!

Angela B.
"I have been using the skin care products for two weeks and have already noticed fading in the brown spots. Along with the Z facial, there is a different “glow” in my skin. I have tried many skin care lines and have worked for several cosmetic companies, but “Z” skin care line is by far the best!"
