Dermatology

Conveniently located to serve Newport Beach, CA

The Ocean Clinic offers dermatology treatments to keep your skin healthy and strong. The skin is our body’s first line of defense against everything. It protects us from bacteria, changes in temperature, and anything else that can affect the body’s homeostasis.

Unfortunately, since it absorbs most of what we come in contact with, the skin is prone to developing skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and fungal infections. If you are experiencing a skin condition, consider a visit to The Ocean Clinic in Orange County.

Acne

Acne is the most common skin condition. It forms as a result of trapped oil and dead skin cells inside pores. When these pores become clogged, they become a breeding ground for bacteria, causing inflammation. This results in breakouts. Acne can also result in frustrating and persistent acne scars.

Our clinic offers acne treatment using LightStim, a safe and effective LED light therapy treatment.

Acne scars have a wider range of options for treatment. Patients can undergo laser treatments, microneedling, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and more.

Age Spots

Age spots are benign (non-cancerous) lesions caused by too much sun exposure. To remove age spots and many other types of skin lesions, our medical professionals can recommend creams and perform treatments like laser therapy, liquid nitrogen treatments, and light chemical peels.

You will also be asked about the timeline you prefer for having age spots or bumps removed. Topical creams can show results in three to six months. Lasers, liquid nitrogen, and light chemical peels can create significant improvement in two to four weeks.

Hair Loss (Alopecia)

Hair loss (alopecia) occurs as a result of a wide variety of causes. Individuals who are experiencing hair loss and bald patches should schedule a consultation as soon as possible.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are safe and effective skin-resurfacing treatments that removes the upper layers of the skin. Peels can treat skin conditions like acne, sun damage, freckles, melasma, large pores, fine lines, and wrinkles.

During a peel, a specially designed combination of chemicals is applied to the skin, where it permeates through the skin layers. The results will reveal smoother and even-toned skin after peeling for a few days. The duration of peeling after the treatment will depend on the intensity of the chemical peel recommended for your skin concerns.

Cysts

Cysts are liquid-filled sacs that form on the body. They cause no harm, but their appearance on the skin may be bothersome. There are also cases where cysts can become infected. Cysts can be safely removed at our clinic with surgical excision.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Some patients tend to sweat in excess. This can lead to uncomfortable experiences in daily activities and intimate situations. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be managed with prescription creams or injected medication.

Melasma

Melasma is a skin condition that appears as discolored patches on the skin. This condition can be managed with topical creams, oral medications, or in-office treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser therapy.

Nail Disorders

Nail disorders affect the appearance of the fingernails and toenails. They are often associated with an underlying disease like psoriasis or a drug reaction. To learn more about treating nail disorders, it is highly recommended to schedule a dermatology consultation at our clinic.

Pediatric

Children are more prone to experiencing diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. This is because their immune system is still developing. The root causes of these conditions can also be more critical in children. Pediatric dermatology can provide an accurate assessment of a child’s skin, hair, or nail issues and an effective treatment plan.

Sun Damage (Photoaging)

Sun damage is the culprit of many skin-aging concerns, like fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Our clinic offers a variety of treatment options for skin aging, like dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, intense pulsed light (IPL), radiofrequency, microneedling, chemical peels, dermal fillers, neuromodulators, and plastic surgery procedures to lift sagging skin.

Rashes

Rashes are uncomfortable for everyone. They are often an allergic reaction and should be treated immediately. Contact our clinic to schedule a consultation with a dermatologist.

Rosacea and Redness

Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by redness, swelling, thicker skin, and bumps. There is no permanent cure for rosacea, but this skin condition can be managed with oral or topical medication. Laser therapy can also be performed for quicker and better results.

Skin Infections

Skin infections must be diagnosed correctly to determine the most effective treatment possible. The most common types of infections are bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic. All these types require different medications and treatments.

Warts and Molluscum

Warts and molluscum are caused by viral infections in the skin. To prevent the spread of warts and molluscum on your skin and to other people, seek a professional treatment plan from a dermatologist at The Ocean Clinic.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses very fine needles to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This improves fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scarring, stretch marks, oversized pores, and sagging skin.
