Skin Cancer Screening
Our comprehensive skin cancer screenings utilize advanced diagnostic technology to detect abnormal skin changes. Board-certified dermatologists perform thorough examinations of moles, birthmarks, and lesions. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes for melanoma and other skin cancers. We recommend annual screenings for all adults, with more frequent checks for high-risk patients.
Laser Therapy
We offer multiple laser treatment options for skin rejuvenation and medical conditions. Our FDA-approved devices target pigmentation issues, vascular lesions, and textural irregularities. Treatments improve skin tone, reduce scarring, and stimulate collagen production. Sessions are customized to individual skin types and concerns with minimal downtime required.
Acne Treatment
Our medical-grade acne treatments address mild to severe cases using prescription medications and in-office procedures. We combine topical solutions, oral medications, and chemical peels to clear breakouts. Customized regimens target hormonal imbalances, excess oil production, and bacterial growth. Follow-up appointments ensure sustained improvement.
Chemical Peels
We provide various chemical peel strengths to address different skin concerns. Superficial peels improve texture while medium-depth peels target pigmentation and fine lines. Treatments use medical-grade solutions to exfoliate damaged skin layers. Multiple sessions yield cumulative improvements in skin clarity and tone.
Microneedling
Our microneedling procedures use sterile, adjustable-depth devices to create micro-injuries in skin. This stimulates natural collagen production for improved texture and firmness. Treatments effectively reduce acne scars, fine lines, and uneven tone. Combined with topical serums, results appear gradually over several weeks.

I have been going to Dr Hern for over 20 years and recommended her to several friends. They were very happy with the office staff and Dr Hern and continue to follow with her. I have always had wonderful experiences with this office. My daughter goes here as well. We have seen both Dr Hern and several of the PAs. I am always extremely impressed with all of the staff. Anytime an issue comes up that requires an appointment they are very accommodating and are we are seen quickly. I love the new office space. Bright and cheerful.

I have been seeing Dr. Hern for more than 25 years and always receive the best care. I was treated for a melanoma which she caught early and have been clear since. They have great preventive advice, and also offer an amazing range of cosmetic procedures. I also became very ill with severe atopic dermatitis and this office managed to get my insurance company to cover the dupixent treatments I needed to be able to function. Only great things to say about each and every employee at Lifetime! Thank you Dr. Hern for setting the bar high and always greeting every patient with a smile!
