Choosing a dermatologist is a personal decision, and if you live in Newport Beach, it helps to work with someone who actually understands this coastline. Our year-round sun, ocean air, and active outdoor lifestyle shape skin in ways a generic treatment plan often misses. A routine that makes sense in a colder city may be completely wrong for someone who spends weekends at the beach and weekdays running outdoors. That's the whole idea behind the Advanced Skin Treatment Center of Orange County: care tailored to this community, by a doctor who's been doing exactly that for more than 35 years.
The value of local, accessible care
Skin conditions rarely follow a convenient schedule. An acne flare, a changing mole, or a brand-new concern all benefit from being able to come in without a long commute. When something looks or feels different, you want an answer sooner rather than later — and proximity makes that practical. Local care also means your dermatologist gets to know your history over time, and that relationship really pays off when subtle changes appear. Dr. Lauber has treated families across Orange County for decades, and that continuity is hard to replicate anywhere else. He isn't starting fresh with you every visit; he's building on what he already knows about your skin.
Care built around our climate
Living near the beach brings near-constant UV exposure, humidity, and time outdoors, and all of it influences your skin. Sun exposure is a year-round concern here, not a summer one, and the effects accumulate quietly. That's why our services lean into what locals actually need:
- Skin cancer screenings: With sunshine all year, regular full-body checks are one of the smartest habits you can build.
- Sun damage and anti-aging: Peels, laser therapy, and medical-grade skin care to soften sunspots and fine lines.
- Acne and Accutane: Targeted plans for breakouts that coastal heat and sweat can worsen.
These aren't separate specialties — they're part of one conversation about how your skin handles life here. The same patient who comes in for an acne flare may also benefit from a sun-damage check, and being able to address both in one place makes care simpler. It also means nothing falls through the cracks: the doctor who knows your acne history is the same one who's keeping an eye on sun exposure and early signs of damage, so prevention and treatment stay in sync. You don't have to remember which concern belongs in which office — it's all handled by the same physician, every visit.
One doctor for the whole range of concerns
From stubborn acne to HPV and genital warts, the practice covers both medical and cosmetic dermatology without handing you off to an assistant. Botox, fillers, and laser resurfacing sit alongside skin cancer prevention under the same roof, so you don't need a referral to a second office when your needs change. Because every visit is with Dr. Lauber himself, your plan stays consistent and thoughtful from appointment to appointment — the same doctor who started your care is the one who continues it.
Why patients stay with us
The real advantage of local, physician-led care is trust. Skin health is a long-term commitment, and having a doctor who remembers your history — and who understands the specific challenges of Orange County living — changes the whole experience. Whether you need a routine check or help with a sensitive condition, you're treated as a person, not a chart number. If you'd like to learn more about who you'd be seeing, our About page covers Dr. Lauber's background and approach.
Good skin care isn't a one-time fix. It's a relationship with a doctor who knows your skin across seasons, years, and life changes — which is exactly what ongoing care with the same physician gives you.
