La Jolla Physicians & Surgeons - Dermatology

La Jolla Dermatology

Approximately 20 percent of us in the United States will develop skin cancer during our lives, and 40 to 50 percent if we live to 65, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. This makes a thorough skin checkup with a La Jolla dermatologist, such as those in our listing of La Jolla physicians and surgeons, a vital part of our annual exams.

The majority of skin cancers are not fatal, as any dermatologist will tell you, but even the worst kind, melanoma, is curable if caught early enough. In addition to diagnosing and treating skin cancer, a dermatologist in our local listings will help you with other skin conditions, such as acne, rashes, and moles. Dermatology today also includes cosmetic dermatology and you'll find a complete range of these services in our directory of dermatology physicians located in downtown La Jolla, UTC, and Del Mar. These cosmetic dermatology treatments include laser skin resurfacing and hair removal, use of injectables and fillers, such as BOTOX and JUVEDERM, and medical spa services such as facials, peels, dermabrasion, and electrolysis.

A dermatologist in our La Jolla listings will help you keep your skin healthy and looking good with a personalized skin care plan based on your preferences. If you want cosmetic surgery, a local dermatologist who is part of a medical group can refer you to a cosmetic surgeon who is part of the same medical group.
