Summary

Imagine if you had a close sister who was a dermatologist and skin care geek.

You could ask her the most embarrassing question like, "Why is my skin scaly" "How can I fix my zits" or "What can I do about my rosacea?" And she would tell you what to do in a way that didn't make you feel embarrassed. Or weird.

That's how my patients describe me - like a trusted sister. My name is Dr. Cynthia Bailey, I'm glad you've found me - and I'm ready to help you find your best and most healthy skin.


I've practiced dermatology in California for over 24 years and currently practice in my Sebastopol, CA dermatology office. I had acne as a teen, and as a fair-skinned, previously tanning-addicted native Californian, I started noticing wrinkles and sun damage in my mid 20s (like so many of us).

Back then, I was in my dermatology residency at the University of California, San Diego - it was the time when Retin A, gycolic acid and broad spectrum sunscreen were just beginning to get attention as the first effective products for meaningful skin rejuvenation.

I paid attention.

Soon after, I was on the full-time clinical teaching faculty at University of California San Diego Medical School. I also conducted laboratory research on the effect of sunlight on skin disease. Deciding to raise my young family in the 'country' I moved to the Northern California wine country and opened my Sebastopol, CA general and surgical dermatology practice in 1991 with an emphasis on skin cancer and healthy skin care.

Every skin care product I offer has been carefully tested on myself, my family and my patients over the years. I offer a very small line of affordable "must-have" products that solve problems like rosacea or acne, or that help rejuvenate the skin, and they get real results. If it doesn't work, I don't offer it. It's as simple as that.

For me, being a dermatologist is just plain fun - and I feel blessed that I get to do what I love. I have patients of all ages and both genders who bring me a wide range of skin problems that I can fix. My patients share inner frailties regarding their body image and consider me a 'safe place' to ask for help. I get to neaten up the part of them everyone sees, improving their appearance in our appearance-driven world. Plus, I get to write about my passion on my skin care blog and talk about it in magazines, newspapers and other media.
I learn a lot about life from being included in a small part of my patients' lives - and yours, too. Thank you for the opportunity.
