A note from Dr. He, “Every day, I am grateful to be a physician and value the privilege of helping my patients with a broad range of their skin needs. Being a patient myself, I appreciate all the amazing medical advancements that help us live a healthy life and understand the impact of skin issues on our overall well being and happiness. I strive to deliver the most compassionate cosmetic dermatologic care using the latest state-of-the-art treatment technology. Every patient is unique and may value different degrees of cosmetic outcomes, from those who wish to simply age gracefully to those who would like more dramatic results, and to those who don’t want to age at all (visibly, that is).
If you come to meet me, trust that I am doing my absolute best to take care of your skin in every way possible. Whether you see me for a single visit to seek a second opinion or to establish care for a lifetime, I look forward to meeting you.”

I've been looking for an amazing dermatologist, and Dr. He is so him! Dr. He removed red spots from my face, and he also removed a really bad looking big growth on my back. Somehow this magician did it all in a flash and without leaving any scaring at all. I know a little bit about the industry--I managed Tenaya Med Spa for years. I sometimes have former clients ask me who I now recommend, and up until I visited Dr. He and Dr. Welsh, I didn't know what to say. But wow, I sure do now--to experience is to believe. Dr. He's no-rush kindness and skill level is the best of the best. Even better than the best! It's so comforting to know that such elite dermatology exists in San Francisco, and especially from such a nice person like Dr. He.
Dr. He and the entire team, from front desk to the nurses, are extremely helpful. They explain the process in detail, step by step. I highly recommend this place.
I have been seeing Dr. He and the staff at BACD for over a year now and it has been a very pleasant experience. I will continue to come back and likely have my husband sign up as a patient soon as well to address some of his skin needs. After all of the things I put my skin through, I am so grateful to work with someone so warm and thoughtful! He is the last person to try to sell you services and listens intently to your needs. He’s also highly knowledgeable and excellent at getting to the root cause of your issues, which I really appreciate — I am very fortunate to have a simple effective skin care routine thanks to him which is aligned with my lifestyle and needs.
I’ve been attending Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatologist for many years. All providers and their support staff are highly professional and supportive in their care. More recently, I’ve been seeing Steven He. M.D. and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding dermatologist who takes pride in his work.
Dr. He is the best! He answers all my questions patiently, is so personable and knowledgeable, and has the lightest touch. He’s not ever pushy on procedures or products and he comes up with a game plan for me. I always feel like I’m in good hands with him!
