About

Coastal Pacific Dermatology is a dermatology practice in Encinitas that sees patients from the wider North County area of San Diego, such as those in Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Oceanside and San Marcos. Its offerings fall into two areas: medical dermatology for skin disorders and skin cancer, and cosmetic dermatology covering injectables, lasers, chemical peels and collagen-support treatments. Most PPO plans and Medicare are accepted, and self-pay options exist for uninsured patients. New patients are welcome, and many concerns can be seen the same day or the next day.

Medical care covers acne, cyst removal, eczema, hair loss, moles, psoriasis, rosacea and skin cancer. Acne visits start with a review of lifestyle, existing conditions and current medications, followed by a diagnosis and a personalized plan. Options can include lifestyle guidance, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, prescription topicals, prescription oral medication including isotretinoin, and chemical peels. Mohs surgery for basal and squamous cell skin cancer is performed in the office. Each layer of tissue is removed and examined until the margins are clear, and reconstruction of the surgical site is done the same day once clearance is confirmed. It uses local anesthetic and usually begins in the morning. Before surgery, the team reviews medical history, current medications, supplements, and the size and type of the tumor. The practice describes Mohs as having a high cure rate and a small scar, and states a recurrence rate below 1 percent; these are its own figures. For healing, it suggests flesh-colored paper tape with sunscreen, with Strataderm scar cream as an option.

Cosmetic work includes RHA fillers made by TEOXANE Laboratories, with the RHA range covering fine lines through deeper lines, and Xeomin to soften worry lines and crow's feet. Microneedling is offered for acne scars, fine lines, large pores, uneven tone, stretch marks, sun damage, surgical scars and melasma; a session includes a topical numbing cream applied 30 to 45 minutes beforehand, and mild redness typically lasts one to two days. The ResurFX laser, run on a Lumenis M22 platform, takes about 20 minutes per session and is usually a series of three to five sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. The Advanced PhotoFacial Treatment pairs ResurFX laser resurfacing with IPL in a single visit. Chemical peels and IPL round out the cosmetic menu.

The practice sells a curated selection of professional skincare, including EltaMD and ISDIN sunscreens, SkinCeuticals Vitamin C serum, the Céla line and Foundation Skincare supplements.

Each patient is given a plan tailored to their skin concerns and goals.
