Mahinakealo is a new dermatology practice, owned and operated by Marne CarMichael Walsh, that offers lasers, botox, fillers, & medical dermatology in Hilo, Hawaii. Our mission is to help each patient understand how best to take care of their skin. Healthy skin enhances your beauty. We are here to help you achieve your goals and shine as bright as the moon!
The name Mahinakealo comes from the Hawaiian phrase, “Pali ke kua, mahina ke alo, ” which means “back a cliff, front a moon.” This phrase refers to the beauty of a person.
Marné has teamed up with Dr. Frankel to provide the highest quality medical and aesthetic services to the Hilo community and the Big Island of Hawaii in general. For those of you who know both of these outstanding professionals, this is an exciting combination. We look forward to having Dr. Frankel here on the Big Island during the summer of 2022. She is anxious to return to Hawaii and we proud to have her as our medical director until she joins us in person. In the meantime, Marné will be our main provider and is well know in both the Hilo community and Big Island in general. When you add the exceptional aesthetic abilities of Heather Neidhamer to the group, this is a winning combination. Heather provides the skills needed for a complete dermatology practice that provides patients with all of their medical and aesthetic needs on one location.
