An Update on COVID-19 to Our Valued Patients and Customers
Hello SKINSTYLE Family,
We hope you are staying safe and healthy! We have opened up Dr. Colaco’s
schedule for limited in-office appointments, both medical and cosmetic. Any
appointments that can be conducted via Telehealth will stay on Telehealth.
In-office appointments will be spaced out to limit the number of patients
in the office at any given time. All staff will have PPE on for our safety
and yours.
At the time your appointment is scheduled, you will receive a link to your
personal patient portal online where you can update/review your health
history and medical records prior to your appointment.
On the day of your appointment, please call us once you have parked to let
us know you are here and we will check you in. Please be on time for your
appointment. We will take your temperature using a non-contact thermometer
when you enter the office. If you have a temperature of 99.5℉ or less, you
will be taken directly to your treatment room to limit any waiting time in
the lobby.
Masks are required to be worn in the office. We cannot provide masks as we
have a very limited supply of PPE; patients are responsible for bringing
their own masks.
We will be collecting all patient information and payments over the phone
either the day before your appointment or the morning of your appointment.
If you are a new patient or an existing patient with changes to your
address or medical insurance, please email a copy of your insurance card
(front and back) and photo ID to contact@skinstyledermatology.com.
We ask all of our clients to follow COVID-19 safety precautions and please
stay home if they feel sick. If you are not 100% healthy, please call the
front desk and we will be happy to reschedule your appointment and waive
the late cancellation fee.
Our staff is healthy and well, and we have increased the frequency of our
already thorough cleaning protocol.
We can’t wait to see you soon!
Stay Healthy
Skinstyle Dermatology
Welcome Letter from the Doc…
I love skin.
Strong, beautiful skin gives us the confidence to shine, and skin health plays a vital role in our overall well-being. Whether you have an irritating rash, an unwanted or worrisome mole, or simply want to feel better about the way your skin looks, I want to help. Once you have a good understanding of the problem and treatment options available to you, together we will make the best decision for your skin. No rush, no stress. All questions and concerns are welcomed.
Disorders of skin, hair, and nails are addressed with emphasis on prevention and early detection. This focus applies not only to medical dermatology, but also to cosmetic dermatology. My personal philosophy is that it’s best to make small enhancements along the way in order to prevent having to make larger corrections later on. Fortunately, we have an array of minimally-invasive treatments proven to provide natural looking results.
We designed our office with an ideal balance of beauty and function in mind, just like our goal for your skin. A fun, modern approach with natural organic elements and tranquil tones make a comfortable and inviting sanctuary where serious state-of-the-art skincare treatments take place. We think you’ll love it!
At Skinstyle Dermatology, my staff and I genuinely appreciate your trust and confidence and we look forward to working together with you to reveal your best skin.
Warmest wishes,

Dry and chapped lips can cause problems for many people, especially in the winter. Even those who aren’t used to having dry skin normally can experience irritation and chapped lips due to harsher climates.
Wintertime may be a festive time to spend the holidays with family and friends, but can be taxing on your skin. The cool, dry air of winter may cause skin dryness, irritation, and itchiness, especially in people with sensitive skin.
