Medical Dermatology for Skin, Hair & Nail Conditions in 535 Miller Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941
From everyday concerns like acne and rosacea to complex, treatment-resistant conditions such as severe psoriasis, Aesthetic Dermatology And Skin Cancer, Inc. handles it all. Our medical dermatology care is led by Stefan Lowenstein, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist who completed his residency at the University of California, San Francisco, one of the most highly regarded dermatology programs in the country.
Expert Diagnosis and Evidence-Based Treatment
As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Lowenstein is the most qualified type of healthcare professional to diagnose and treat diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. Together with Mira Noble, N.P., he evaluates each patient carefully, identifies the underlying cause of symptoms, and creates a personalized treatment plan using topical therapies, oral medications, in-office procedures, light-based treatments, and advanced biologic medications when appropriate.
Conditions We Treat
Our medical dermatology services include treatment for:
- Acne – from mild breakouts to persistent adult and cystic acne
- Rosacea – facial redness, flushing, bumps, and visible vessels
- Melasma – patches of brown or gray-brown discoloration on the face
- Actinic keratosis – rough, scaly precancerous spots caused by sun damage
- Eczema, psoriasis, rashes, warts, cysts, and many other skin conditions
For a broader overview of skin, hair, and nail conditions, you can also explore the patient resources from the American Academy of Dermatology.
Connecting Medical and Skin Cancer Care
Some medical skin conditions are closely linked to skin cancer risk. Actinic keratoses, for example, can progress to squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. During your visit, we can also perform a skin cancer screening and treat precancerous spots with options such as cryotherapy, topical therapies, or photodynamic therapy.
Improving How Your Skin Looks, Too
Once a medical condition is under control, many patients want to address what it left behind. We offer cosmetic solutions for lingering concerns, including acne scars, redness and broken vessels, and brown spots and discoloration, through our aesthetic dermatology services.
