NSSA Cosmetic Referrals Handout

Cosmetic dermatology is not a covered benefit. Elective procedures are offered by our Dermatology departments for an additional fee.

1. Facial Telansectasias or “broken blood vessels” – these tiny veins often respond well to laser treatments. Call Napa Dermatology at (707) 258-4527. For painful or varicose veins, your primary provider will need to make a referral to the surgery clinic.

2. Skin tags, seborrheic keratosis – these can be treated with liquid nitrogen (“frozen”) or “snipped off.” The fee is approximately $100-200 depending on the number of lesions removed. Call Dermatology at Vacaville (707) 453-5142, Vallejo (707) 651-2552, or Napa (707) 258-4527.

3. Benign nevi (moles) – shave or excision prices depend on the quantity and location, starting at $160.

4. Unwanted hair – for removal of dark hair (not light colored or gray hair) call Napa Dermatology at (707) 258-4527.
