With numerous cosmetic surgery practices in the San Francisco Bay Area, it can be difficult and confusing to know how to begin your search for a skilled plastic surgeon. A good place to start is by considering only surgeons who are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). This guarantees that your surgeon has the extensive and specialized plastic surgery training that most other cosmetic surgeons do not. Dr. Vistnes is an experienced and distinguished diplomate of the ABPS, and has an outstanding reputation in the Bay Area as a plastic surgeon.

Dr. Vistnes is pleased to announce the opening of SkinSpirit, Skincare Clinic and Spa. Located in the heart of Palo Alto with parking, SkinSpirit offers non-​surgical cosmetic skincare procedures like Botox, Laser Hair Removal, Endermologie, Collagen, Chemical Peels, Office Laser sessions (rosacea/​redness/​facial veins), Vein Therapies, Intense Pulsed Light, and Permanent Makeup.
