Services
Medical Dermatology
Our medical dermatology services focus on comprehensive skin health management. We specialize in early skin cancer detection, mole and cyst removal, and treatment of chronic conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Our board-certified dermatologists provide expert diagnosis and treatment for all skin types and conditions. With advanced training in both medical and surgical dermatology, we ensure accurate assessments and effective treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our cosmetic dermatology services offer minimally invasive solutions for skin rejuvenation. We provide Botox injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments to address signs of aging and skin imperfections. Our specialists use FDA-approved products and advanced techniques to enhance natural beauty while maintaining facial expressiveness. Each treatment plan is customized to achieve subtle, natural-looking results that align with individual aesthetic goals.
Botox Treatment
Our Botox treatments use purified neurotoxins to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles. This FDA-approved procedure effectively reduces frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. Our certified injectors customize treatment plans to achieve natural-looking results that last 3-4 months. We also offer Botox for medical conditions like hyperhidrosis, providing both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits through precise, expert injections.
Chemical Peels
Our chemical peel treatments exfoliate damaged skin layers to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. We offer glycolic acid peels for mild exfoliation and retinol peels for deeper correction of sun damage. These treatments improve skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and stimulate collagen production. Our specialists recommend treatment intervals based on individual skin needs to achieve optimal results with minimal downtime.
Microneedling
Our Vivace RF microneedling combines radiofrequency energy with collagen induction therapy for skin tightening and rejuvenation. This FDA-approved treatment addresses fine lines, acne scars, and skin laxity on the face and body. The procedure stimulates natural collagen production with minimal discomfort and downtime. Our specialists customize needle depths and RF energy levels to target specific skin concerns while maintaining overall skin integrity.

Normally after having an appointment for 1:15 and not being seen until 2:15 I would give 2 or 3 stars but not in this case. Once Dr. Griffin saw me, it was worth the wait. She is extremely efficient and knows what shes doing, she also listens which got her my extra star. She also has a solid and enthusiastic front desk. Thank you!!!!

New patient at Bala Dermatology and I showed up late bc I went to the wrong building. They were very understanding. I had to bring my 3 and 1 yr old daughters with me who were fussy and the staff entertained them. Everyone is professional but personable!

Dr. Griffin assured me that my procedure was covered by insurance, however, I now have bills for $250. I specifically stopped Dr. Griffin and asked, "Will this be expensive? I don't want to do this if it'll be expensive." She checked the paperwork with the nurse in the room and said, "It's covered by your insurance." When I called to ask why I got the bills, all Dr. Griffin could do was explain what a deductible was over and over again and claim that she never said my procedure was covered. Very disappointing.

Dr sherwin told me " if i was his wife, he would tell me to watch (an area of particular concern) it for 6 months and see". turns out it was a malignant melanoma. i went to his partner dr lieberman after that and loved her. the office never bothered to notify patients when she moved to california. there are many other practices out there!
