Believe it or not, the skin is our body’s largest organ: complete with seven layers. And sometimes, though we try our best to take care of our skin, it acts up in different ways due to underlying reasons that can be difficult to pinpoint. Rashes, acne, and other skin conditions are all a part of life, and the best way to take care of them is to see a skin doctor. The experts at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Long Beach, California can assist you with all of your skin needs.
What Does a Skin Doctor Do?
Also known as a dermatologist, this doctor specializes in skin, nails, and mucous membranes. Dermatologists are life savers for all your skin needs: they treat acne, skin diseases, and nearly 3,000 types of conditions in between. These include severe forms of acne, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea. Here are a few reasons that you will want to schedule a visit with your skin doctor:
Acne
When you were a teenager, you might have dreamed about having clear skin as an adult. As most of us know, those acne days aren’t always behind us. Acne is normal amongst teens and even into young adulthood, but if your acne is not responding to over-the-counter cleansers and medications, then it may be time to visit your skin doctor so he can help you find a solution customized to you and your skin condition.
Eczema and Other Conditions
Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes random flare-ups of itchiness, flaking, and rashes. Your skin doctor can treat other skin conditions, such as psoriasis and rosacea with medications to help control flare-ups, itchiness, and discomfort.
Skin Damage and Treatment
Sun damage is a leading cause in sun spots and other forms of premature aging, like wrinkles. If you are looking to tighten your skin, help diminish crow’s feet, or fix any other imperfections like sun spots, then your skin doctor can help with medications, products, or suggest lifestyle changes on how to avoid any further damage.
Scar Treatment
Your skin doctor can help improve the look of scars from acne, raised keloids, or even stretch marks by prescribing medications or performing treatments.
When Should I See a Skin Doctor?
If a small rash has popped up, it may be time to see a doctor. Your skin is the first thing to encounter nearly everything you experience and everything you touch. It is the first thing bacteria touches and the first thing that injuries impact. The health of your skin impacts your overall health. Even if your skin is clear and healthy-looking, it’s still important to get regular check-ups–just like you do every year for your physical at your primary physician’s office! Schedule your initial consultation with the skin professionals at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Long Beach, California today. We proudly serve the Long Beach area with locations in Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, Mission Viejo, and Tustin.
Praise for excellence
by Ruby Wood
Category: generalSince my first visit with Dr. Luxenberg, I have felt there is hope for my skin. Being an elderly woman of 88 years, a redhead with freckles and sensitive skin, it has never been easy for me to find a doctor who really took the time to be thorough with examination and treatments. Not only is Dr. Luxenberg the best dermatologist I've ever been treated by, but he also has a pleasant bedside manner and an amazing, interesting personality. I can tell that he genuinely cares if his patients are comfortable during treatments. When I was referred to Dr. Luxenberg, some three years ago, it was a very good day for me.
You will not find a better Dermatologist than Dr. Rosenberg
by Matthew Thomas
Category: generalDr. Rosenberg has been my dermatologist since 2005. I grew up swimming competitively while also playing water polo, tennis and volleyball and I knew my years in the sun would ultimately catch up to my skin. His proactive approach and thoroughness during my visits has been a tremendous help! Dr. Rosenberg also has a table side manor that other doctors should strive to achieve. His back office staff are kind, friendly and very timely when responding to questions and inquiries. I cannot say enough good things about him and his practice!!!
Best Clinic and best Dr is Mr. Martinez
by Alexander Newton

Surgery on face
by Christine McDonnell
Category: serviceDr luxenberg I was referred to Dr Matthew Luxenberg at the Los Alamitos office by a friend of mine. He came highly recommended. My L jaw line was extremely swollen and painful. I have presently seen Dr Luxenbery 2x so far. The day of the appt the front office staff & the nursing staff were kind & compassionate. My appts have been right on time so I never had any waiting. They used extra precautions due to covid so I felt very safe. I have been an RN PHN for over 30 years and know many many doctors that I have worked with and gone to as a patient. I have been so impressed with Dr Luxenberg that I felt compelled to write a review. Dr Luxenberg is not only an EXCELLENT doctor but he is also very compassionate . It is very difficult t find doctors that have both competency and compassion. Dr Luxenberg has BOTH . Most doctors would NOT have taken care of my medical problem on the 1st visit. They do an initial visit and have you come back . The staff got me an appt within just a few days & the doctor performed surgery on my jaw line at the FIRST VISIT. The office has a surgical room which most doctor offices do NOT have . They have you go t a an out patient surgical clinic or hospital to perform the surgery. This costs the patient a lot of extra money and Incontinence AND increased exposure t covid. It just goes to show how much Dr Luxenberg CARES about his patients & wants to take care of his patients as quick and easy as possible. MY face looks normal again & all my pain is completely gone. I suffered with this pain for over a year. I had went t a plastic surgeon initially in Jan this year . The plastic surgeon did a very poor job on my face and left my jaw line looking abnormal and did not even take care of my medical problem . I was actually in more pain following that appt. I enjoy my visits with Dr Luxenberg because when he is performing surgery he makes SURE the patient has NO pain during the surgery. He is such an excellent doctor he completed my surgery so quickl
Great!
