Common Skin Health Challenges Patients Face
Is your current skincare routine helping or hindering your skin’s health?
Taking care of your skin shouldn’t be complicated or frustrating. Yet many people struggle with persistent skin conditions, ineffective treatments, and confusing skincare advice. These issues can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life while preventing you from putting your best face forward.
- Persistent Skin Conditions: Dealing with chronic acne, eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea can be emotionally draining. Many patients try numerous over-the-counter products without seeing meaningful improvement, leading to frustration and diminished self-confidence.
- Delayed Diagnosis: When concerning skin changes occur, waiting weeks or months for an appointment with a qualified dermatologist can cause anxiety and potentially allow conditions to worsen. Early detection is crucial, especially for skin cancer and pre-cancerous lesions.
- Confusing Treatment Options: The skincare market is saturated with products making bold claims. Without professional guidance, patients often waste money on ineffective treatments or inadvertently use products that worsen their skin conditions.
Whether it’s the discomfort of untreated skin conditions, the frustration of ineffective treatments, or the worry about potentially serious skin changes, your skin health deserves professional attention. Quality dermatological care shouldn’t be something that’s difficult to access or navigate.

Don't take our word for it...
What I really like is the common sense approach to diagnosing and recommending solutions. My doctor was concise and didn’t inundate me with jargon. The facility is conveniently located on Kapiolani and the staff text messaged clear directions prior to my appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule a skin check or screening?
For most adults, an annual full-body skin examination is recommended. However, patients with a history of skin cancer, multiple moles, or other risk factors may need more frequent screenings every 3-6 months. Our dermatologists will help determine the optimal screening schedule based on your individual risk factors and medical history.
How quickly can I get an appointment for a concerning skin issue?
We understand that skin concerns can be urgent. For potentially serious issues like changing moles or suspicious lesions, we offer priority scheduling and can typically see patients within 1-3 business days. For routine matters, appointment wait times are usually within 1-2 weeks. Always let our scheduling team know if your condition is urgent.
Will my insurance cover my dermatology visit?
Hawaii Premier Dermatology accepts most major insurance plans for medically necessary dermatology services. Coverage varies depending on your specific plan and condition. Medical treatments for conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer are typically covered, while cosmetic procedures generally are not. Our staff can help verify your insurance benefits prior to your appointment.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment typically lasts 15-30 minutes. It begins with completing medical history forms, followed by a discussion of your concerns with the dermatologist. For skin checks, you’ll change into a gown for a thorough examination. The doctor will explain their findings and recommend treatment options. Please bring your insurance card, photo ID, list of medications, and any previous dermatology records.
Do you treat pediatric skin conditions?
Yes, our practice includes specialized pediatric dermatology services. We treat children of all ages for conditions such as eczema, acne, warts, birthmarks, and other skin concerns. Our dermatologists are experienced in creating a comfortable, child-friendly environment and developing treatment plans appropriate for young patients.
