Dr. He specializes in a wide range of cosmetic and surgical dermatology; including facial rejuvenation, balancing and contouring, skin tightening, preventive antiaging, laser skin resurfacing, and treatments for the prevention/reversal of sun damage and skin cancer. Dr. He sub-specializes in the treatment of wrinkles and skin laxity, ranging from undereye bags to mid-face nasolabial folds, to lower face jowling and neck laxity, or crepiness using a combination of natural injectable options (Botox, Filler, Threads) and permanent options (Lasers, skin resurfacing, microneedling, chemical peels, skin tightening, skin laxity reversal). Dr. He is an expert on acne and scarring, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and discoloration, laser birthmark, skin blemish removals, minimally-invasive or scarless mole/skin growth removals, hair growth and regeneration, as well as vein therapies including the use of sclerotherapy and lasers. As a world-renowned laser specialist for the treatment of scars, patients travel both nationally and internationally for his talent in treating acne scars, surgical scars, accident-induced / traumatic scars and burn scars. Dr. He’s primary patient cohort are those he has known exceptionally well over the course of many years. The lifelong patient-physician relationships he has built within family generations allow Dr. He to factor in family skin genetics, as well as individual lifestyle and other unique variables, when building a plan of preventive and corrective anti aging treatments. These patients call on him for routine skin checks, cosmetic treatments as well as urgent needs; like an injury from a weekend ski trip or a cooking burn.

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.”
