Exploring Dermatology: Your Skin Health Guide
Dermatology is the field of medicine focused on the treatment of skin disorders and imperfections due to genetic or environmental reasons.
For information on various dermatology concerns, please see the information below.
Dermatology Concerns
Acne
Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands that can affect all skin types and people of all ages.
Broken Blood Vessels
Superficial, small vessels that can be found anywhere on the body affecting all age and ethnic groups, most commonly found in lighter skin types.
Eczema
A common skin disorder affecting people of all ages, yet mostly occurring in children. Characterized by dry itchy patches.
Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Loss of Facial Volume
We all have varying degrees of fat in our faces and many factors can cause changes to these fatty compartments. There can be a loss at both superficial and deeper levels that go along with our natural aging process.
Hyperpigmentation & Hypopigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of the skin, secondary to hormonal changes and sun exposure. Hypopigmentation is the lightening of the skin secondary to certain skin disorders or misuse of laser treatments.
Moles/Lesions or Cysts
The majority of moles, lesions and cysts are benign (non-cancerous) in nature. They are not life threatening, but can be unsightly and annoying, influencing removal. Cancerous growths on the other hand, can be life threating and need surgery.
Rosacea
Characterized by persistent redness of the nose, cheek, brows and chin that can be accompanied by acne(ic) lesions. Rosacea most commonly occurs in light skinned women between the ages of 30 and 50, but severe forms can occur in men, as well.
Skin Cancer
Cancers that arise from the skin when abnormal cells have the ability to spread to other body parts. Most skin cancers arise from UV radiation. The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
Skin Tags
An overgrowth of excess skin caused by obesity and hormone changes.
Spider Veins
Superficial, small vessels that can be found anywhere on the body. Although spider veins are most commonly found in middle-aged women, they can affect many different age and ethnic groups.
Sun Damage
Sun exposure is caused by UV light like the sun damaging the elastin fibers in the skin. Sun spots, redness and uneven skin texture can occur over time.
Unsightly Scars
There are many different types of scarring that can occur from various traumas. Depending on the type of scar, treatment can be as conservative as topical products or as aggressive as surgical revision.
Warts
Warts are a contagious virus that commonly affect people of all ages. The virus can be present even if you’ve never had an active lesion.

Patient Testimonials
This was the best decision I have ever made. I met with Dr. Stefani and hired him & received a full mommy makeover. I had met with several doctors as well, as this was a big decision to make. Dr. Stefani made me feel the most comfortable and he has a great bedside manner. Also, to be completely honest after surgery …He exceeded my expectations. I almost cried after I saw what I looked like after surgery. I had 3 c sections prior and nothing was ever the same after that. I feel better than I did before kids and I wish I did this sooner. If you are even slightly hesitant …don’t be! Dr. Stefani is AMAZING.
Dr. Williams is one of the most caring and talented doctors I have ever met! I was diagnosed with breast CA 2 years ago and was referred to him for reconstruction after choosing to do a bilateral mastectomy. Boy was I scared !! He put me at ease right away with great information on what to expect along and seemed to generally care about me even though we had just met! I knew I was in the best hands! Now after 2 years, not to sound weird, I get compliments on my "new" breasts all the time, even my family Dr gave them a big WOW! Cherry on top, he did a Tummy tuck on me to even out new look, and also get compliments all the time!
Dr. Miguel is the absolute best!! I've had rhinoplasty in the past with another surgeon, and I came in for a consultation with Dr. Miguel for an alar base reduction (narrowing of nostrils). He was so honest with his answer, and he told me it was not needed. He said the procedure was unnecessary, and to leave my nose just the way it is. He told me all the things that could go wrong if I were to go forward with this procedure. I am so grateful for his honesty, and I appreciate his conservative approach. If you are looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon and want honest feedback with natural results, please consult with Dr. Miguel.
