St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery opens second location in Chesterfield

St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery is expanding into Chesterfield, giving west St. Louis County patients access to Mohs surgery, laser treatments and full cosmetic dermatology starting July 20. The move sets up a year-long transition to new ownership and a rebrand of the Chesterfield office next May.

Why it matters: - Chesterfield patients will gain local access to advanced dermatology services, including Mohs surgery, laser treatments and cosmetic dermatology. - The expansion adds a second location for St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery and broadens the practice’s reach across the St. Louis area. - The move also keeps Dr. Laura Wagner’s established patient base in place during a year-long ownership transition.

What happened: - St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery announced an expansion into Chesterfield. - As of July 20, Dr. Brandon T. Beal, founder of St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, began accepting new patients at Dr. Laura Wagner’s practice. - The Chesterfield office is at 14377 Woodlake Drive, Suite 111 in Chesterfield, Missouri. - The Chesterfield expansion is the practice’s second location.

The details: - Dr. Beal is bringing Mohs surgery, laser services and cosmetic dermatology to West St. Louis County. - Dr. Beal and Dr. Wagner will see patients side by side over the next year while the practice transitions to new ownership under St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery. - The Chesterfield location will be renamed St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery – Chesterfield in May of next year. - The timing of the rebrand will coincide with Dr. Wagner’s retirement. - The original Troy location will become St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery – Troy. - The practice offers same-week access to general dermatology and skin cancer screenings. - The practice also says it is home to one of the only Mohs surgeons in St. Louis with additional fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. - Services include general dermatology, skin cancer screenings, Mohs surgery for skin cancer, cosmetic mole removal, acne scar treatments and CO₂ laser rejuvenation. - The practice says patients benefit from same-day in-office reconstructions with Mohs surgery and personalized care. - The practice’s website is More information. - The gallery of patient photos is available at before-and-after photos.

Between the lines: - The expansion appears designed to convert an established local dermatology practice into a larger regional brand. - Keeping Dr. Wagner in clinic for a year should reduce disruption for existing patients and make the ownership change smoother. - The emphasis on Mohs surgery and facial reconstruction training suggests the practice is positioning itself around higher-acuity skin cancer care, not just cosmetic services.

What's next: - The Chesterfield office will hold a ribbon-cutting next year when the rebrand becomes official. - Patients can continue booking care as the Chesterfield site changes ownership and identity over the next year. - St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery is aiming to attract patients from Missouri and beyond for advanced surgical, medical and cosmetic dermatology.
