Services
Psoriasis Treatment
Skinworks Dermatology offers specialized psoriasis management using advanced therapies like light treatment, topical medications, and biologics. The team addresses plaque, guttate, and inverse psoriasis with personalized plans to reduce flare-ups and improve skin health. Patients receive education on lifestyle modifications to complement clinical treatments.
Laser Treatments
The practice provides laser solutions for hair removal, scar reduction, and skin rejuvenation using FDA-approved devices. Treatments target age spots, vascular lesions, and textural irregularities while preserving skin integrity. Custom protocols ensure safe outcomes for diverse skin tones, including ethnic skin.
Botox & Fillers
Neurotoxins like Botox and dermal fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane) address wrinkles, volume loss, and facial contours. The team uses precision techniques to achieve natural-looking results for dynamic lines and static wrinkles. Follow-up sessions ensure optimal longevity and patient satisfaction.
Melanoma Screenings
Board-certified dermatologists perform comprehensive skin exams to detect melanoma and other skin cancers early. Suspicious lesions undergo biopsy for accurate diagnosis. The practice educates patients on sun protection and self-monitoring to reduce cancer risks.
CoolSculpting
Non-invasive fat reduction treatments target stubborn areas like the abdomen, thighs, and chin. Controlled cooling destroys fat cells, which the body naturally eliminates over weeks. Multiple sessions may be recommended for desired contouring outcomes.

Dr. Zelaya has been my dermatologist for the past decade. He is hands down the best dermatologist!!!! Dr. Zelaya has exceptional bedside manner and is very professional. I never feel rushed; answers all of my questions and clearly articulates treatment plan. I have referred my family and friends to him. Dr Zelaya is in a league by himself.

I have alopecia.. The doctor was attentive, concern and has nice manners. I would like to recommend that he begins to take pictures of the area in question. Because looking back at photos can show any, if any progress in hair growth, otherwise, he and his staff are fine.
