Over time, skin damage from sun exposure, acne, or other factors can accelerate visible signs of aging. Our skin damage repair treatments including lasers, light therapy, and peels can refresh damaged skin by improving tone, texture, pigmentation, and pore size for restored radiance.
Acne is among the most common skin diseases and is one that we treat often. Almost everyone experiences some level of acne during their lifetime, though it typically begins around puberty and proceeds through adolescence and sometimes into adulthood. At Golden State Dermatology, we offer Blue Light and Levulan to help treat acne. This treatment can decrease the amount of acne-causing bacteria and Actinic Keratoses.
Although most of us have sun damage, we don’t have to live with visibly damaged skin. At Golden State Dermatology, we offer a variety of treatments to help improve and reduce sun damage. The Blue Light and Levulan treatment is a breakthrough treatment for sun damage. Additionally, we also offer the Fraxel Dual Laser and the IPL FotoFacial.
At Golden State Dermatology, we also offer treatments that can help reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone. Our FX laser utilizes state-of-the-art fractional laser technology to improve wrinkles and uneven skin tone with very little downtime. The FX laser can pinpoint areas of the skin that need improvement, creating micro-injuries below the skin's surface that stimulate new collagen and elastin production that fill wrinkles and retexture the skin.
Our IPL FotoFacial can diminish many skin concerns associated with aging using intensely bright pulses of light. This quick, non-invasive treatment improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin tone by targeting pigmentation and stimulating new collagen. Regular IPL FotoFacial sessions will leave your skin looking refreshed, youthful, and more even-toned with lasting results.
At Golden State Dermatology, our skin rejuvenation treatments can restore your skin's natural glow and reduce visible signs of aging. Procedures like chemical peels, HydraFacials, microneedling, and laser skin resurfacing smooth fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, and promoting new collagen growth.
Chemical peels are applied to remove dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and activate skin growth and renewal. The treatments are fast and each treatment is customized to the individual patient’s needs and skin type by one of our expert dermatologists. At Golden State Dermatology, we offer a variety of chemical peels to help accomplish your cosmetic goals.
The HydraFacial System is an award-winning treatment that merges invigorating spa therapies with advanced medical technology to enhance skin health. Only HydraFacial uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology for an instant gratifying glow.
At Golden State Dermatology, we offer microneedling with the advanced SkinPen. SkinPen® Precision is the leading microneedling device and it works to remodel the skin by creating temporary microscopic channels in your skin. This simple procedure activates your body’s natural skin-healing power to increase collagen and elastin so your skin returns to a healthier-looking and youthful appearance.
At Golden State Dermatology, we offer tattoo removal with the advanced PicoSure Laser. PicoSure uses cutting-edge physics and medical science to treat patients in a new way. PicoSure’s technology harnesses the body’s natural healing process to restore youthful skin in ways never before possible.
At Golden State Dermatology, we offer advanced treatments to help you achieve your hair and lash goals. Our experts can utilize specialized therapy, laser hair removal, and lash enhancement products to restore hair growth, remove unwanted hair permanently, and lengthen lashes for a youthful appearance.
LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the first and only FDA-approved prescription product for eyelash hypotrichosis, (another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes). LATISSE™ helps grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker.
There is an abundance of available treatments for hair loss, including prescription medications and surgical hair restoration, but these options can be expensive, ineffective, and come with unwanted side effects. This specialized treatment is a more affordable way to initiate natural hair growth and improve hair density without surgery or unwanted side effects.
Our gentle laser technology allows you to give yourself the touchable, hair-free skin you’ve always wanted without the hassle of painful waxing or frequent shaving. The laser precisely targets the pigment in hair follicles, destroying the cells responsible for growth. The surrounding skin remains undamaged. Best of all, our lasers are effective on hair and skin of any tone, making smooth skin achievable for everyone.

Unwanted fat can be difficult to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. At Golden State Dermatology, we offer advanced fat-reducing procedures like CoolSculpting and Kybella that can eliminate fat cells in targeted areas of the body for slimming effects.
At Golden State Dermatology, we offer fat reduction with CoolSculpting treatment. CoolSculpting is a truly unique, noninvasive treatment that eliminates undesirable fat from localized areas that have never responded to diet and exercise. This innovative procedure uses a precisely controlled cooling method called Cryolipolysis to target, freeze, and permanently eliminate fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue.
KYBELLA is the first and only FDA-approved treatment that helps improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin- more commonly known as a “double chin.” KYBELLA is an injectable solution that uses the active ingredient deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs fat.
Unwanted fat can be difficult to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. At Golden State Dermatology, we offer advanced fat-reducing procedures like CoolSculpting and Kybella that can eliminate fat cells in targeted areas of the body for slimming effects.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical method that reduces frown lines between the eyebrows and lines on the forehead and around the eyes. It provides a more youthful look and does not require anesthesia or a significant amount of downtime or recovery. Patients are normally able to return instantly to work or normal activity.
A dermal filler is a gel injected just below the skin to fill in and smooth out wrinkles. Dermal fillers are particularly successful in treating nasolabial folds or “smile lines,” and for enhancing the lips. Results from dermal fillers generally last about six to twelve months. Dermal fillers are done using Hyaluronic Acid; these treatments can be performed without prior skin testing, are fairly painless, and provide instant results.

Mohs surgery is a state-of-the-art in-office procedure used to treat skin cancer. It has cure rates approaching 99% for tumors that haven't been previously treated. The procedure uses precision and accuracy by examining tissues under a microscope to ensure total skin cancer removal.
Mohs surgery minimizes the removal of healthy skin, meaning the smallest amount of skin possible is removed, decreasing the potential for scarring in patients. Treatment time is only one visit, allowing for immediate reconstruction of the wound. Mohs surgery is typically used to treat basal and squamous cell carcinomas.
Mohs Surgery is offered at our Pleasanton & Livermore locations.
