Common Dermatological Concerns

Skin Cancer

Rosacea

Varicose Veins

Age Spots

Though a skin cancer diagnosis can feel scary, it’s better to catch the disease early, as early treatment significantly improves chances of survival.* We specialize in Mohs micrographic surgery, radiation therapy and reconstructive surgery for our skin cancer patients.

Rosacea is a common skin condition, typically arising in fair-skinned individuals between 30-50 years of age. We offer a variety of laser treatment options at California Skin Institute; our clinicians will tailor treatments specifically to your presentation and needs.* 

About 15 percent of adults suffer from varicose veins, which are more common among women and run in some families. We offer multiple treatment options for Varicose Veins at California Skin Institute, including the Excel V Laser System and Alma Harmony YAG Laser.

We offer MicroPen MicroNeedling as an option for treating acne scars and wrinkles. A procedure for treating the entire face can be performed in approximately one hour with very little downtime. Clients can typically go back to their regular skin care routines the very next day.*

Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer

Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer

Dr. Hsiao is a fellowship trained Mohs surgeon. The cure success rate is very high with Mohs surgery, as compared to regular excision (where the skin is removed and is sent off to a lab, and only a small percentage of the border is examined). Further, this treatment option provides for the smallest scar, as your surgeon will continue removing tissue only in the area where cancer cells are shown to be present.*

Popular Treatments

Body Contouring

CoolSculpting® is a specialized procedure with no down-time, which can help you get rid of pockets of fat that are difficult to target with exercise alone. As a completely non-invasive procedure, CoolSculpting® offers patients many benefits over other fat reduction procedures.* 


TruSculpt 3D can reduce fat by 24% in a single, hour-long session. A cost effective non-invasive treatment that removes fat in areas that can’t be treated by Cool Sculpt. 


 Advanced Vaginal Health Program

Botox & Dysport Injections

At a certain age, the onset of forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet and frown lines are common problems for men and women. Injectable treatments are one way we address problem areas, offering a quick and virtually painless treatment that can help you to look rested and rejuvenated.*

 Advanced Vaginal Health Program

Dermal Filler Injections

We’ve helped many patients achieve the appearance of younger, smoother facial skin using Restylane® and Juvederm dermal filler injections.* Dermal fillers work by restoring volume under the skin, helping to smooth out facial wrinkles and folds. The formulation is very smooth, allowing us to create natural looking outcomes.*


Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer
