I had a Mohs procedure with Dr Paz and it has been a great through the whole process, and there is hardly even a scar. The procedure was done on my forehead in my hairline and seriously its not even noticeable…
FRESNO · VISALIA
Dermatology & Aesthetics in Fresno and Visalia
Medical, surgical and cosmetic skin care for the whole family, led by Harvard-trained, board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dr. Carlos Paz, MD, PhD.
Everything your skin needs, under one roof
For more than a decade, Paz Dermatology has cared for the skin of families across the Central Valley. Dr. Paz and his wife, Vivian, both grew up in Fresno County, and they founded the practice in 2013 to bring specialist-level skin care home.
Today, a skin check, a rash that won’t quit, a skin cancer that needs to come out, or simply wanting to look as good as you feel all happen in the same place, with the same team. You never have to piece your care together, and you never have to drive to another city for it.
Medical Dermatology
Answers for skin, hair and nails, from babies to grandparents
Most people come to a dermatologist for something that’s bothering them today: breakouts that won’t clear, eczema that keeps a child up at night, psoriasis, rosacea, warts, a rash, thinning hair or a nail that looks wrong. Our providers find out what’s going on and build a plan that fits your life, then adjust it as your skin responds.
We see patients of every age, so a whole family can see one practice. Everyday procedures, like cryotherapy to freeze a wart or a precancerous spot, or a quick biopsy, are done right in the office.
Skin Cancer Care
From the first skin check to the last stitch, in one practice
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the country, and under the Central Valley sun it’s something almost every family deals with eventually. Here, the whole journey happens under one roof.
- Skin cancer screening A head-to-toe skin check.
- Mole mapping Tracking changes over time.
- Biopsy A closer look when a spot needs it.
- Mohs surgery, with results the same day Each layer goes straight to our own in-house lab and is checked under the microscope while you wait, so you leave knowing the edges are clear.

Cosmetic Dermatology
Look like yourself, on your best day
Softer lines, fuller lips, clearer skin, smoother legs, a sharper jawline. Our aesthetic team offers the full range, from a relaxing facial to injectables, lasers and cosmetic surgery, always aiming for a result that looks natural. And because you’re in a dermatology practice, your plan is built around the health of your skin, not around one treatment.
Injectables & Fillers
Soften lines and restore volume with Botox, Juvéderm, Radiesse, Sculptra and Belotero, or slim fullness under the chin with Kybella. Six options mean the product is matched to your face.
Laser & Vein Treatments
Stop shaving with laser hair removal, calm redness with VBeam, soften acne scars and dark spots with PicoWay Resolve, fade sun spots with IPL, remove tattoos, and clear leg veins with sclerotherapy.
Facials & Peels
A HydraFacial or DiamondGlow for a glow the same day, dermaplaning for smooth skin, and the VI Peel or SkinCeuticals peels for dark spots, acne and texture.
Cosmetic Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery, a mini facelift and a neck lift, for changes that need more than an injection.
New to cosmetic treatments? Start with a cosmetic consultation with one of our cosmetic consultants. Cosmetic consultations are complimentary, and you’ll leave with a plan and a price, with no pressure.

What our patients say
My daughter goes to this office for her acne. They instructed and prescribed a topical cream and wipes. They explained to my teenage girl how to apply the products and why they are helpful at curing her acne, which has been a challenging problem for her. Her acne is better, and she takes care of herself with their advice.
My husband and I have been so pleased with Dr Paz and his entire staff. Highly recommend this office. He has helped me with my rosacea and with my husband’s skin cancer. Very pleased.
