Brief info
Dr. Amelia K. Hausauer is a classical trained Russian ballet dancer who brings a unique perspective to the field of dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Dance is an exercise in nuance, a philosophy guiding how she approaches patient histories, analyzes anatomy, and designs comprehensive treatment plans. Hours spent in the studio learning to communicate through the tilt of head or the extension of a foot taught her that a masterpiece is the sum of innumerable parts, each of which needs to be studied with sublime precision and a critical eye before being reconstructed into a whole. Dr. Hausauer strives to integrate a rigorous knowledge of cutaneous biology with a refined and subtle sense of beauty. She takes pride in designing patient centered, detail oriented, and multimodal management plans in order to achieve the most radiant results.
Dr. Hausauer grew up in the Bay Area and earned a Bachelor of Science with the highest honors in Human Biology from Stanford University.
