Vera Lee, NP-C

Certified Nurse Practitioner

Vera Lee, NP-C is a board-certified nurse practitioner specialized in dermatology, lasers, and injectables. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from University of California, San Diego, and a Master of Science in Nursing from Seattle University. She completed her clinical training with the U.S. Navy at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington.

Vera began her dermatology training as a medical and surgical assistant in 2012, and has been providing specialized care as a dermatology nurse practitioner to patients across the Bay Area since 2018. Vera is passionate about increasing diversity and inclusivity in the dermatology and aesthetic community. She works closely with diverse communities, addressing challenges that uniquely affect skin of color patients. Standing up against industry misinformation and complacency, Vera advocates for safe and effective treatments for melanin rich and melasma skin.Vera empowers her patients through education, giving patients a voice to become partners in their own skin journey.

With over 10 years of experience in skin care, she developed a minimal filler approach and focuses on skin health to achieve natural results. Vera believes aging is beautiful and that being able to move is normal. She specializes in customized treatment plans for acne and scars, melasma, brown spots, and skin rejuvenation.
Outside of the office, Vera is an old soul and embraces an analog lifestyle. She is a maximalist in minimalist hobbies, and is currently lost in the rabbit hole of fountain pens and ink stained fingers.
