What Our Patients Are Saying About Us

I think Dr. Shega is the most sincere dermatologist in San Diego county. He is very personal and when he talks to you he treats you like you’re family. There is sometimes a wait once you’re there, but he’s the only dermatologist around who will accept same day appointments. I guess that’s the trade off for this benefit. I recommend him to others.

Acne most commonly occurs on the face but can also appear on the back, chest, shoulders, and neck.

What Conditions Are Treated With Laser?

Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking and waxing, provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only semi-permanent way to remove hair has been by electrolysis – which can be painful, time-consuming and is limited to small cosmetic areas. Scarring, allergic reactions and ingrown hairs are common side effects of all these hair removal methods. The GentleLASE safely re-moves unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in under ten minutes; legs and larger areas can take longer.
