Tattoos may be permanent, but they don’t have to be forever. Our PicoSure laser removes unwanted tattoos faster with less pain and fewer treatments than traditional methods. This revolutionary picosecond technology shatters ink particles for faster clearance and better results, and it works effectively even on stubborn colors like blues and greens that other lasers struggle to remove.

Fat Reduction & Muscle Toning
Stubborn fat and loss of muscle definition don’t respond to diet and exercise alone. Our body contouring technologies freeze away fat and build muscle simultaneously.
CoolSculpting uses FDA-cleared technology to freeze and eliminate fat cells permanently in targeted areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin.
Emsculpt NEO combines radiofrequency heating with high-intensity electromagnetic muscle stimulation to reduce fat and build muscle in the same session, with no needles and no downtime.
For fullness under the chin, KYBELLA is an injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells in the submental area for a more defined jawline and profile.

Diet and exercise can only take you so far. When stubborn fat deposits won’t budge, our body contouring treatments refine your shape, from non-surgical options with little to no downtime to surgical sculpting for more dramatic change.
CoolSculpting freezes away stubborn fat without surgery or needles. For larger areas, liposuction removes fat from the deep layer beneath the skin through small incisions under local tumescent anesthesia, sculpting the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, neck and chin. To firm loose skin, Pollogen uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin without damaging its surface, tightening sagging skin on the face, jowls and neck with no downtime.

Hair Loss
Hair restoration at Golden State Dermatology is provided by the GSD Hair Transplant Clinic, our dedicated hair transplant practice led by Dr. Paul Rose. The clinic offers FUE and FUT hair transplant surgery to patients in San Francisco, Pleasant Hill and the greater Bay Area, and every treatment plan starts with a detailed evaluation rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
