Rosacea presents in many ways: pimples and pustules are best treated with prescription topicals or if needed oral treatments, but background redness and dilated/broken blood vessels respond to energy-based devices like laser.

Our patient had two rounds of treatment with a green light laser (KTP - ExcelV by ).⁠

His & hers?
Mother & daughter?
His & his?
Besties?

It’s always a pleasure to see our patients as pairs for their appointment, whether they be family or chosen family. It can be sharing the excitement or providing a bit of emotional support – or both! Who are you booking with?

Tixel has entered the chat!

We are excited to introduce Tixel at Pacific Derm Atelier. This is a new technology that uses a heat plate to deliver heat energy to the skin surface that creates micro-channels. It complements our generous offerings in skin resurfacing – a category of treatments where skin surface is improved by causing a controlled skin injury that stimulates a healing response.

Because Tixel is not a laser device, it is especially suitable to treat the delicate skin of the eyelids. We are excited to see how well it will do for the changes of crepiness under the eyes. A series of 3+ treatments is recommended.

Ask us more about Tixel during your next visit!

Combinations yield results!

Curious if we can double-up on your visit, and do two or three treatments? We often can, and combinations can boost results significantly. Ask us!

During this husband “tune-up”, we treated a red scar with vascular laser and administered Skinvive in the same sitting, making for both a convenient and effective treatment.

Book your consultation today and let's discuss your treatments options!

You know we love subcision and our lasers to treat acne scars. ⁠
⁠
But did you know we can also use dermal fillers to improve scars? ⁠
⁠
This can be done in combination with our other treatments or as a stand-alone treatment to provide a quick improvement with less downtime and sun avoidance than our lasers. ⁠
⁠
The best candidates for treatment will have rolling types of acne scars, but we can also improve boxcar scars - let's have have a look next time you are in the office !
