If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we ask that you please call our office at least 24 hours in advance.

Chemical peels are used to treat acne and signs of aging on the face, hands, neck and chest. The goal of a chemical peel is fewer lines, more even skin color, brighter complexion and smoother skin. Our office uses SkinMedica, Environ and Glytone brands of peels. You will decide with your physician which peel will be best for your skin type and needs.
Dermal fillers are used to combat the signs of aging by restoring age-related volume loss, diminishing wrinkles, raising scar depressions, and enhancing lips. It is an injectable treatment that can immediately give you a more youthful appearance.
There are numerous FDA approved fillers that we use based on the area being treated, including Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, Voluma, Vollure, Volbella, Restylane Lyft, Restylane, Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne.Results are temporary and the lengths vary based on the product used, however, filler injections have shown to stimulate the body's own collagen production.

INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) is a broad spectrum light that can be used to treat brown spots and redness. Oahu Dermatology uses the ICON platform. IPL targets melanin resulting in reduction of pigmentation found in freckles, lentigines ( sunspots) and melasma or hemoglobin in blood cells to reduce redness.

Had my first appointment with Dr. Garcia. Omg, she is so sweet! Super personable, down to earth, and answered all my questions and concerns thoroughly. I didn't feel as though she was going through the motions, she literally took the time to look at my skin and recommended the best treatment to address those concerns. I recommend seeing Dr. Garcia!

This review is based on a first appointment with Dr. Garcia.
Upon arrival, staff were very diligent in following COVID-safety protocols. Check-in was timely, smooth and efficient.
Meeting with Dr. Garcia was really nice because she provided education and also gave me several options, without pushing me towards one or another. She also provided me a baggie of samples to try. I really appreciated Dr. Garcia and her staff for their professionalism and look forward to my follow-up.

I was very concerned about a skin condition that rapidly developed and made an appointment with my dermatologist Dr. Carla Nip-Sakamoto.
The front office informed me that as a long time patient of Dr. Nip-Sakamoto I would be passed off and seen by someone else - A Dr. Miki Garcia.
Dr. Garcia made me feel as if the practice is focusing more on higher income generating cosmetic and aesthetic procedures rather than addressing a patient's medical condition covered by insurance in order for the practice to survive.
Sadly, genuine concern for the patient's well being is no longer a factor

I came to Oahu Dermatology to seek treatment from Dr. Miki Garcia through a recommendation from a friend (who I found out, had probably never gotten treatment before!). This review is more for the customer service than the doctor but the whole experience is important.
My first visit was a consult so I made an appointment - at that time, I wasn't told that they had a promo where you get 10% if you pay upfront for 3 sessions.
I made an appointment and went back for the first session, got the treatment. After getting my face numbed, I waited close to an hour before the doctor saw me. I learned

Didnt feel comfortable here. I came one hour early for my appointment and they made me fill out paperwork two times, lack of organization. The assistant was not friendly. The worst was I felt really rushed by Dr. Chong. the appointment lasted ten minutes in and out. Idk why people highly rate her. I just felt super uncomfortable and saw a lack of friendliness.

I enjoyed my communication with the receptionist who was able to squeeze me in that day because of a cancellation. I printed and filled out the new patient forms from their website then drove there. My wait upon arrival was apx 10 minutes then maybe another minute in my waiting room.
I explained my reason for today's visit that we did a bunch of back and forth to make sure she understood. She made a recommendation that I was hesitant but she reassured me. I am now happy that she did cause the prescribed cream worked wonders!
Since I was there, I also inquired on some cosmetic procedures
