A Physician-Led Medical Spa in San Mateo, Reached From Menlo Park
Menlo Park is close to several physician practices, so the reason to come to us has to be more than convenience. It is this: every procedure is done with Dr. Susan Lin, and we have been at the same address for over 18 years.
What continuity means for injectables
Botox, Dysport and filler are not one-off products. Dose, placement and timing are individual, and they are best refined over repeat visits by the same person who remembers how you responded last time.
Dr. Lin was board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, and who has practised since 1991. She has seen many patients through years of treatment, not just a first appointment. She performs every treatment personally.
We also dose conservatively. New patients are asked to return at 14 days so we can judge the settled result before adding anything. The intention is that people notice you look well, not that you have had something done.
Getting here from Menlo Park
14.7 miles, about 23 minutes without traffic, northbound on US-101. At commute hours expect longer; that stretch passes through the US-101 and Highway 92 interchange, which Caltrans is rebuilding through summer 2028. Interstate 280 is the alternative if you prefer it.
By train, Menlo Park station is on Caltrain, with a ride of roughly 15 to 25 minutes to San Mateo depending on the service, followed by a 0.80 mile, 15-minute walk to us. Check the timetable first.
We are open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00, by appointment, with private on-site parking at no cost.
Private, physician-led, and easy to reach from either highway
We are in central San Mateo, reachable from Interstate 280 or US-101, with private on-site parking at no cost. Many patients want a reputable, private practice rather than a large chain; at many chain clinics treatment is delivered by nurses, nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Here your consultation is with Dr. Susan Lin herself.
The same physician, for over 18 years
MD Laser and Cosmetics was founded in 2006 and has been at this San Mateo address for over 18 years. Your consultation is with Dr. Susan Lin herself, trained in obstetrics and gynecology and practising since 1991. She is fluent in Mandarin. She performs every treatment personally. Most patients come for Botox, Dysport and dermal fillers, with an emphasis on natural results. We are open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00, by appointment. The $150 new-patient consultation is applied toward same-day treatment, in person or by video.

Questions from Menlo Park patients
How far are you?
About 14.7 miles and 23 minutes without traffic, via US-101.
Can I be seen between meetings?
Appointments are individually scheduled with a fixed start time. Botox and Dysport involve no downtime, so many patients come mid-morning or at lunch. If you are planning filler, allow for 24 to 48 hours of possible swelling or bruising depending on the area.
Do you offer video consultations?
Yes. If you would like to talk through options before making the trip, consultations are available by video as well as in person.
