Dr Ly understands the “true burdens of rosacea” and the ways in which she can improve the lives of her patients by working with them to achieve clear skin.
The report “Rosacea Beyond The Visible” describes the psychosocial impacts of this disease some of which are hidden:
“Every second patient reported that they would potentially be willing to trade 6 months or more of their life to cure rosacea”.
Dr. Ly offers IPL (Intense Pulse Light) to treat Rosacea and skin discoloration caused by other conditions. In some cases antibiotics are prescribed to control Rosacea.
Maintenance of clear skin involves discussion about avoiding Rosacea triggers along with the use of dermatologist only supplied and prescribed professional strength products from companies such as OBAGI and Galderma to keep your skin calm and balanced-looking.

Pictured–> Name: Mandy Rose Age: 32 Primary Skin Concern: melasma, sun spots, scars Current Skin Care Regimen: Obagi Nu-Derm® System
Skin Care Advice:
“Be consistent and committed when you use the Obagi system. It takes time to see results, but don’t get frustrated. You WILL see results!”
Obagi:
“Tell us about your Obagi experience. How were you introduced and how has your skin transformed?”
Mandy Rose:
“I was first introduced to Obagi products by my dermatologist after I developed terrible melasma with my pregnancy. I wanted the brown spots to disappear and nothing I was doing worked. As a woman, you know how important it is that your skin is clear and radiant. The Obagi Nu-Derm System is the ONLY thing I found that would completely take away the melasma. Although I started the Obagi System because of my melasma, I was pleased to see that my sun spots and scars from where I had picked when I was younger had diminished as well.
I was so self-conscious of my skin before and never wanted to leave my house without makeup. After using Obagi, I have a new found confidence about my skin that I have never had before. It has been an exciting transformation to see how the overall balance and color of my skin tone has evened out! Thank you Obagi!”
Obagi:
“Did you get discouraged throughout the process and how did you overcome it?”
Mandy Rose:
“I do remember when I first started using Obagi and I wasn’t seeing a change immediately…I got discouraged. But I just kept using it every morning and every night and eventually my skin went through a complete transformation! Looking back at my before pictures…it truly is amazing to see how much Obagi has helped my skin!”

It’s a sad fact for anyone over the age of 30—when we were young, we didn’t know how much the sun damaged our skin. Now many of us are dealing with wrinkles, saggy skin and,what were once called, unkindly, “age spots.”At Aloha Dermatology and Laser Center in Kahului, Dr. Micki Ly and her staff are here to help your abused skin look better and be healthier.
“All women want to look beautiful,” notes Ly, “and no woman would say no to a natural looking appearance.
“There are now less invasive procedures and products that let you walk out our door looking good already.”
As Ly explained, her mission is to enhance the lives of her clients and community with the latestmedical therapies that are proven to be safe and effective solutions against skin diseases, including skin cancer (detection, management and care), that jeopardize human health and well-being.
She also provides expert cosmetic aesthetic enhancements where the art and science of skin care come together to optimize and enhance a client’s natural appearance with modern rejuvenation techniques.
As we age, our skin loses collagen and hyaluronic acid. These are the substances that give young people plump, smooth skin.
At Aloha Dermatology and Laser Center, Ly will assess your needs and choose the treatment best suited to your skin needs.
For moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, there is a hyaluronic acid injectable filler. Dermal fillers provide non-surgical anti-aging techniques that really work. After just a single treatment, fillers will give the face a smoother, fresher and more youthful appearance with no downtime.
Collagen production naturally slows down as we get older. Research has found that our skin is capable of reproducing collagen. Ly uses a recently discovered method that is known as Collagen PIN(Percutaneous Induction Needling). This method stimulates the elastin, collagen and other skin growth factors that promote new skin cells to surface with results lasting as long as one year after having the treatment done. Typically, a series of three to six treatments are recommended.
Collagen PIN treatment provides “flawless” results on the face, neck, decolletage, hands, arms, legs, abdomen and back according to Ly.
Ly is trained in and offers other procedures such as upper eyelid surgery (or blepharoplasty) and varicose and spider vein treatment. She even has products that will help regrow your eyelashes which, sadly, also seem to disappear with age.
As Ly points out, she can help fix the damage already done, but once she does, it’s up to each individual to take care of their skin by using sun screen and wearing a hat when outside. This helps your skin, your body’s largest organ, stay healthy.

Collagen PIN. produces results through the stimulation of elastin, collagen and other skin growth factors promoting new skin cells to surface.
As our skin ages our collagen production naturally slows down. New collagen and elastin production results in younger, healthier, plumper, and firmer skin, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars for an overall better tone and texture. New collagen and elastin has been documented, from just one Collagen P.I.N. treatment, as much as one year later.
The Collagen P.I.N. treatment provides “flawless” results on the: Face, Neck, Décolletage, Hands, Arms, Legs, Abdomen, Back.
Typically a series of 3-6 treatments is recommended, depending upon your area of correction or concern. Dr Ly will determine a treatment schedule based on your individual goals and desires.
Dr. Ly will suggest a post-treatment at home skin care regimen based on your individual skin to protect future skin cell growth.
