Coast Dermatology Medical Associates

Coast Dermatology Medical Associates is a dermatologist in Hawthorne, California. The practice offers medical, surgical, cosmetic, and pediatric dermatology, with board-certified physicians, Mohs surgeons, and dermatology-trained providers treating skin cancer, acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Skin cancer detection and treatment is a specialty. The doctors diagnose and treat all forms of skin cancer and perform multiple Mohs procedures each year. For patients who prefer not to have surgery or who take blood thinners such as baby aspirin, the practice offers brachytherapy, which uses a miniaturized x-ray source that can be turned on or off rather than traditional radioactive seeds, allowing the radiation therapy team to remain in the room during the short procedure.

Microneedling at the practice uses ultrafine needles to prompt the body's own collagen production, and the device also delivers radiofrequency energy into the skin. A session lasts 20 to 30 minutes, requires no downtime, and suits delicate areas including the cheeks, eyelids, sides of the nose, and upper lip. It is used for rough or lax skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and scars, and is safe for all skin types and colors. Most patients need three to five sessions for optimal results, with minimal side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness for five to seven days.

The office sits on Hawthorne Boulevard on the second floor of its building, with elevators in the main lobby. It is near Torrance Airport and Torrance Memorial Hospital.

The practice's rating reflects the experience of the patients who have reviewed it, and its physicians and providers bring a range of dermatology expertise to the care they deliver.
