Dr. Heidi C. Mangelsdorf, MD

Dr. Heidi C. Mangelsdorf is a Board Certified Dermatologic Surgeon practicing in Cary, North Carolina, at Cary Dermatology Center and Cary Aesthetic Center. She specializes in both medical and cosmetic skin concerns. Dr. Mangelsdorf's philosophy centers on achieving maximum results with minimal unnecessary risk, understanding that skin transformation is a gradual process—a marathon, not a sprint. Her patient-centered approach begins with a full facial assessment and skin barrier analysis to develop a tailored, step-by-step treatment plan, believing clearer skin starts with a targeted approach. She cautions against applying maximum power or intensity to skin treatments without prior conditioning, as it can negatively impact the skin barrier. Dr. Mangelsdorf offers procedures like MiraDry for permanent sweat and odor reduction, XTRAC using a 308nm excimer laser for psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis, and Tixel Eye Renewal. She also provides filler and Botox treatments, focusing on enhancing natural features with soft, subtle, seamless results that align with patient goals. Additionally, she offers CoolPeel treatments, often combined with Tixel Eye Renewal, to resurface texture, minimize pores, and lift tired eyes, and emphasizes year-round sun protection, recommending specific SPF brands.
