Skin Health

Healthy, glowing skin is one of the first things people notice about you, and a big part of what leaves a lasting impression. At Lamorinda Women’s Health in Lafayette, California, patients have access to outstanding skin healthcare through the services of board-certified gynecologist Karine Hajyan, DO, FACOG. Booking a visit is as easy as a phone call or a few moments on the online scheduling page. 

What are some common skin health concerns?

When it comes to dermatology care, several skin issues can benefit from professional treatment. Acne is a common complaint, one that shapes the daily lives of many young women and can continue to cause distress well into adulthood. 

Treating acne requires advanced training and a personalized approach. Treatment options could include medications to reduce the number and severity of outbreaks, with both topical and oral options available. Light-based therapies, microneedling, and chemical peels can also be effective. 

Additional skin health issues that bring women in for care include:

• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Contact dermatitis
• Rosacea
• Hyperpigmentation

There are treatment options for each of these conditions, and a path to clearer skin for virtually everyone. 

Are there skin health services that can improve my appearance?

When it comes to aesthetic concerns, there have never been more treatment options to select from. Thanks to advancements in medical aesthetics technology, women today can select from a wide range of options. 

Some of the treatments that have the power to transform the look and feel of your skin include:

• Medical-grade facials
• Chemical peels
• Microdermabrasion
• Dermaplaning
• Intense-pulsed light (IPL)
• Laser skin rejuvenation

Some options deliver improvements after just one session. Others deliver the best results after a series of treatments spaced out over time.  

How do I know which skin health services are right for me?

The sheer volume of options can make it difficult to know where to begin with advanced medical aesthetics. One of the benefits of partnering with the Lamorinda Women’s Health team is the ability to work with a practitioner who has the skills and experience needed to assess a patient’s skin and offer the best treatment options. 

Performing a skin examination is the starting point. Patients also have the chance to discuss their skin health and explain what they hope to achieve through treatment. Time is built into every appointment to ask questions and express concerns. 

The Lamorinda Women’s Health team understands that feeling confident about your appearance is an important part of overall wellness. To explore available treatment options and create a customized care plan, contact the office online or over the phone to book a consultation.
