Medical Dermatology

California’s climate can trigger or aggravate various skin conditions, making medical dermatology a critical component of healthcare. Our California dermatologists and dermatology specialists are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide array of skin diseases and disorders. Some of the most common medical conditions we treat include:

• Acne: California provides unique summer heat and dry winter cold creating seasonal challenges with skin, with one of the most common concerns being acne. Especially common among adolescents and young adults, this can be effectively managed through a combination of topical treatments, oral medications, and lifestyle modifications. Medical light and laser therapies may be used to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and inflammation for those with severe acne. Some interventions may also help with acne scars.
• Skin Cancer: With the high levels of UV exposure during California summers, regular skin cancer screenings and early detection are crucial. Dermatologists are trained to identify and treat various types of skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, using non-surgical and surgical methods like Moh’s surgery.
• Eczema: This chronic inflammatory skin condition can be exacerbated by the often harsh environment in seasonal California. Our dermatologists and dermatology providers offer targeted eczema therapies, including moisturizers, topical corticosteroids, and immunomodulators, to alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
• Psoriasis: An autoimmune disorder characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin, psoriasis can be challenging to manage. Our dermatologists and dermatology providers in California employ various treatments, such as topical medications, photodynamic therapy, and systemic therapies, to control this condition.
• Rosacea: Rosacea, a skin breakout often identified by redness on the face typically centered around the nose, is a common skin condition that affects more than 16 million people. Our dermatologists and dermatology providers have a variety of treatment options from topical medications to laser and stress therapy.

Cosmetic Dermatology

In addition to medical treatments, our cosmetic dermatology specialists in California help patients achieve their desired skin goals. These services are designed to address concerns related to aging, dry skin, and other cosmetic issues while promoting a healthy and radiant complexion.

• Laser Treatments: Our dermatologists and dermatology specialists in California utilize advanced laser technologies to address acne scars, age spots, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, and unwanted hair. Some popular examples of this type of treatment include laser resurfacing, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, CO2 lasers, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and KTP laser.
• Injectable Treatments: Our California dermatologists and dermatology providers offer a range of injectable treatments, including neuromodulators (e.g., Botox, Dysport) and dermal fillers (e.g., Restylane, Juvéderm), to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial contours.
• Body Contouring: For those seeking to reshape their bodies and tighten the skin, our dermatologists and dermatology specialists in California provide non-surgical body contouring treatments. Popular examples include CoolSculpting, which uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat deposits, Morpheus 8, which uses microneedling and radiofrequency to reduce saggy skin and ultherapy which uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen that tightens the skin. Check with your provider to see what they offer.
• Skin Rejuvenation: To address signs of aging and general skin damage, our California dermatology providers offer various facial rejuvenation treatments, such as chemical peels, microneedling, and radiofrequency (RF) therapies, which can improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality.
