Services
Laser Hair Removal
Our laser hair removal service uses advanced technology to permanently reduce unwanted body hair. The treatment targets hair follicles with precision energy pulses, minimizing regrowth while preserving surrounding skin. Patients typically achieve significant hair reduction after 4-6 sessions, with each appointment lasting 15-30 minutes depending on treatment area size. This solution offers long-term convenience compared to traditional shaving or waxing methods.
SculpSure Body Contouring
SculpSure is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that eliminates stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and under the chin. Using controlled laser energy, the procedure destroys fat cells which the body naturally eliminates over 6-12 weeks. Each 25-minute session requires no downtime, making it ideal for busy patients seeking subtle yet noticeable body contour improvements through FDA-cleared technology.
Skin Cancer Treatment
Our board-certified dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating all skin cancer types including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. We employ Mohs micrographic surgery for precise tumor removal with maximum healthy tissue preservation. Regular skin cancer screenings and follow-up care ensure comprehensive management for patients with both common and complex cases.
Injectables & Fillers
We offer FDA-approved injectables like Juvederm and Botox to address facial wrinkles and volume loss. These treatments smooth dynamic lines, enhance lip fullness, and restore youthful facial contours. Our experienced providers customize injection plans to achieve natural-looking results that typically last 6-12 months, with immediate visible improvements following each quick in-office session.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Icon Laser technology improves skin texture and tone by addressing sun damage, fine lines, and acne scars. This fractional laser treatment stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-injuries, promoting skin regeneration. Patients see progressive improvement over several weeks, with optimal results after 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, revealing smoother, more radiant complexion.

I've been a patient of this practice for many years. The staff are so knowledgeable and professional. The offices are welcoming and comfortable. I had far too much sun exposure in my youth and they have regularly monitored my skin and kept me healthy. I have total confidence in this practice.

Thank you sooo much for the professional care and attention to my areas of concern. I have been coming to Coastline Dermatology for several different procedures over the last couple of years and my experience has been fantastic each and every time. I recently brought my 91 mom in for some procedures and she was also very happy with the care she was provided and wants to return here for any other issues that arise.

I can honestly say that the entire staff are professional in their respective tasks, but they are also friendly, personable, and very pleasant to deal with. Their work ethic and professionalism are without question as they strive to do the best they possibly can to meet the medical needs of the patient. But they also go out of their way to accommodate the particular needs and/or requests of the patient. I highly recommend Coastline Dermatology for any of you dermatology and/or skin care needs.
