My experience was excellent. All of the staff are professional and kind. Mary Krempa RN explained everything in detail before my Tixel treatment, which was done very efficiently with little to no pain. I will be returning to see her for the rest of my treatments. I highly recommend Mary Krempa RN and this practice as a whole.

Dr Watkins is one of the most talented and gifted doctors — who, fortunately for her patients, specializes in Dermatology. I have had the opportunity throughout my life to consult with top medical specialists in multiple major metropolitan areas — and, her expert medical knowledge and skills as well as her bright, compassionate, and intelligent personal qualities make her outstanding.

I have been a patient at BACD for fifteen years. I trust Dr. Welsh and Dr. Austin--caring, kind, personable professionals who have taught me how to care for my skin so that it appears much younger than my sixty-six years. I have had several chemical peels over the years, and been very pleased with the results, so when I went to schedule another peel and Dr. Austin suggested Fontona Deep, I was ready. I had tolerated the peels well and was not anxious, so declined taking any meds before the procedure. The first step was to apply numbing cream to my entire face and throat for an hour before beginning. The Fotona process is, as Dr. Austin describes it, "spicy." I found the spiciness manageable until close to the eye area and throat, which was eased by inhaling some NO2. After we finished, my face and throat were covered with medication and balm, wrapped with gauze, and secured with netting. I easily drove myself home. For the next four nights I applied the provided balm, gauze, and netting. I had the procedure on a Monday afternoon and that Friday felt comfortable spending the weekend out of town. Given that one's skin looks pretty fierce at first, I was surprised at how quickly the redness dissipated, even though I had an idea from the photos that Dr. Welsh had taken chronicling her own procedure's recovery process. After two-and-a-half weeks my skin's appearance is much improved from pre-procedure, with only a small amount of redness remaining at my hairline and throat. I could not be more pleased with not only the Fontona results, but the results of fifteen years of excellent skincare guidance from Drs. Welsh and Austin. I love my skin. Thank you!

Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology is outstanding. The office is run peacefully, and efficiently. The practitioners are skilled, thorough, and conscientious. I’ve seen Dr. Austin, who is patient in answering questions fully. Primarily, I’ve been working with Mary Krempa. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s attuned to her patient’s needs, and always diligent about creating a stellar outcome. Beyond that, Mary’s bedside manner is a delight. I leave her chair feeling uplifted and inspired.

I’ve been a patient at BACD for over 5 years. Beautiful facility, with a kind and professional treatment team. Dr. Austin is one of the best doctors in California- and certainly the best the of the Bay Area. I’ve been treated for skin issues that other doctors cannot properly diagnose or treat. But Dr. Austin has phenomenal knowledge of skin, women’s health, and treatments for those that are multi-ethnic. (Like myself!) Most of all she educates the patient on how to care for their body and skin for the best long term effects. This includes having amazing products to treat the skin. ( see my skin care products below). I have rosacea and I wouldn’t trust my face or skin with anyone else . Thank you to the BACD team ! Stunning results that have transformed how I think about my health, skin, and body.
