Cosmetic Dermatology Specialist

What is cosmetic dermatology?

Cosmetic dermatology is the type of skin care that addresses concerns with the way your skin looks. There are many features and flaws that can make your skin look imperfect without causing any other symptoms or complications. Imperfect skin might not cause any pain, physical discomfort, or health risks, but it can significantly impact your self-esteem and cause your self-confidence to suffer.

At Mill Valley Dermatology, Dr. Knott addresses a number of cosmetic skin concerns with a wide array of treatments and services. As a board-certified dermatologist, she’s highly trained and qualified to perform all procedures safely and with the best possible results. She puts you first as the patient and listens to all of your needs and concerns before forming your perfect personalized cosmetic dermatology treatment plan. 

What can cosmetic dermatology address?

Cosmetic dermatology can address both harmless skin faults that only affect the appearance and aesthetic skin concerns that are the result of an underlying condition. Dr. Knott evaluates the way your skin looks and can form your treatment plan to address these and other cosmetic features:

• Redness
• Dry, flaky skin
• Dark spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Melasma
• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Sagging skin
• Skin tags
• Pimples
• Acne scars
• Other scars
• Large pores

Alleviating even small cosmetic skin concerns can greatly improve your skin’s tone or texture. Dr. Knott helps you improve your skin and restore it to a more attractive, youthful state. 

What are my cosmetic dermatology treatment options?

Dr. Knott offers many cosmetic dermatology services to make your skin look plumper, clearer, brighter, or smoother. She discusses your treatment options with you to help you choose the best fit for your treatment plan. 

Cosmetic dermatology procedures and services available at Mill Valley Dermatology include:

Chemical peels

Chemical peels remove the upper layer of your skin to strip away scars, hyperpigmentation, and other cosmetic concerns. 

Skin tag removal

Dr. Knott carefully removes unsightly skin tags, or benign growths, from your skin. They often grow on your eyelids, in your armpits, and in other bodily creases and folds. 

Fillers

Dermal fillers, like the RHA collection, can add volume to your skin where it loses some over time. You can achieve plumper cheeks, more luscious lips, and other more youthful features with fillers.

Injectables

Botulinum toxin products like Botox® and Xeomin® help reduce wrinkles and fine lines by inhibiting certain muscle movements.
