About Pauli
Experience...
As a Board Certified Physician Assistant, I have been practicing in dermatology for over 20 years. I am highly trained and experienced in both medical and cosmetic areas of dermatology. I have specialized in cosmetic procedures including multiple types of laser and lights such as IPL for skin rejuvenation, as well as varieties of cosmetically enhancing injectable products available today. I have been injecting Botox (and other neurotoxins) and fillers since 1999 - treating thousands of patients over those years. I have stayed at the forefront of current and cutting edge technology, maintaining a deep and broad experience base with detailed specificities have advanced during my years of practice. My fascination, coupled with my dedication to give each patient the individualized and personalized attention they deserve, drives me to stay intensely educated and forward thinking in using each product and procedure to its highest and best use, customized for each patient. The practice of working with cosmetic injectables specifically is an art form I have been been proudly perfecting, enhancing and mastering through my career.
In the area of medical dermatology, I have extensive experience and advance training in areas for diagnostic care and implementation of treatment plans (both surgical and nonsurgical) for skin cancers, rashes, acne and other skin issues ranging from minor to advanced conditions. I also bring my clinical knowledge to the academic and educational arena of my field having lectured on general dermatology topics and teaching surgery/suture techniques at medical conferences for the both the Washington School of Nursing and the Washington State Academy of Physician Assistants.
Why Dermatology?
For as long as I can remember, the human body and how it works has always been a fascination of mine. My specific interest in dermatology all started in elementary school with my science fair project, when I decided to test the validity of SPF in sunscreens. Were all these lotions and creams really working? I turned my house into an official testing lab, with my dad as the unwitting volunteer. I placed different levels of SPF sunscreen on his forearm, then used my neighbors tanning lamp (yes, tanning lamp!) to see if the SPF could keep the burning rays away. I was thrilled to find out that the SPF levels DID make a difference! Some protected his skin and others left burns that left scars for over a year! This early curiosity began my journey into this fascinating field that I am so passionate about and fortunate to work in today.
