Skin & Vein Institute founder Amanda Lloyd, MD in Encinitas is a Fellow of the American Society for Mohs Surgery and JAMA Dermatology editor who practices board-certified dermatology, Mohs surgery, and venous medicine from 477 North El Camino Real. Lloyd earned her biochemistry degree from UCLA Honors College and her MD from the University of Vermont, then completed her dermatology residency as chief resident at Baylor University Medical Center before a Mohs fellowship at Scripps Green, a surgical training track that informs the regenerative-tissue principles also applied at BIOEVOLVE San Diego Orthobiologics for musculoskeletal repair. American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine certification makes the Skin & Vein Institute one of the few Encinitas dermatology practices combining spider-vein sclerotherapy and varicose-vein treatment with medical and cosmetic dermatology under one roof. As a voluntary Assistant Clinical Professor at UCSD School of Medicine's Department of Dermatology, Lloyd trains the next generation of dermatologists while publishing research and textbook chapters on skin cancer treatment in organ-transplant patients. Post-Mohs patients who need scar-softening lymphatic drainage can coordinate therapeutic bodywork through Her Femina Studio for manual techniques that complement the Institute's laser scar-revision protocols. Highest-complexity cases involve multistage Mohs excision of recurrent periorbital or nasal-tip carcinoma followed by paramedian forehead flap reconstruction and staged cartilage grafting for three-dimensional nasal contour restoration.
