Fillers and Injectable Skin Enhancers
Your face is the first thing people see; its story is intimate, personal, and uniquely yours. Your level of skin care in San Diego can deeply affect how people see you. Dr. Stuart understands how important it is to have a vibrant face to match your positive outlook, which is why she provides a variety of injectable treatments to keep your skin looking its best.
Dr. Stuart and her staff have extensive experience performing BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, and bring a precise technique and aesthetic sensitivity to this treatment. She also provides injections of Captique™ and Restylane®, which gently fill out areas of thinning or wrinkling facial tissue for a softer, more youthful look.
At La Jolla Dermatology, Dr. Stuart provides Sculptra to fill out deep folds and skin depressions due to fat loss. Fillers such as Sculptra supply needed volume, but also encourage your tissues to produce new, natural cells that help your skin stay fuller and more elastic for years.
San Diego Dermatology Skin Care Services
Dr. Stuart’s intensive dermatological training allows her to diagnose and treat skin conditions of all degrees, from skin cancer to minor moles and rashes, with the dermatologic services she offers. She has years of experience in assessing and combating skin cancers as well as noncancerous moles through diagnosis and treatment using conventional surgical tools and laser procedures.
Sometimes, teens and even adults experience embarrassing persistent acne which over-the-counter products correct only temporarily. Dr. Stuart has a host of products and procedures that can thoroughly and gently eliminate acne for men, women, and teens in La Jolla. Skin care for acne is gentler and more precise than ever before, with laser treatments that penetrate under the surface of the skin to eliminate the bacteria that cause acne. After your laser treatment, you can help maintain your newly acne-free skin through personalized therapies for the face and back.
Medical Spa Services
To Dr. Stuart, skin care in San Diego is more than just refreshing, with a broad selection of medical spa techniques to transform your skin and achieve lasting skin health. Treatments include:
- Designer Facials
- Microdermabrasion
- Electrolysis
- Permanent Makeup
- Cosmelan®
For the ultimate in relaxation and to refresh skin health, La Jolla Dermatology also offers intensive massage therapies.
Laser Treatments
Laser technology is the premier skin-revitalizing method for men and women in La Jolla. Skin care products from the drug store or department store often fail to penetrate deeply and encourage the skin to revitalize itself – which is why medical-grade skin treatment is so important. Fraxel® laser technology gives skin the health and vibrancy of youth by minimizing the effects of age. Advanced laser hair removal techniques and electrolysis allow women and men to maintain smooth skin. Laser treatments also can safely and effectively correct varicose veins and remove tattoos.
