Los Angeles County

Prestigious dermatology-based care focused on safety, luxury, and regenerative science. Tone: Reassuring, professional, and patient-focused with emotional resonance through the Reclaim Your Reflection™ campaign. Board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon Dr. Daniel Taheri created Skin And Cancer Institute to offer patients cutting-edge cosmetic treatments as well as skin cancer treatments.

Cosmetic Laser & Non-Surgical Enhancements

We offer cosmetic treatments such as body sculpting, fillers, micro-needling, microdermabrasion, and peels. We also use other lasers to accomplish facial rejuvenation, including the Fractional C02 laser, Vbeam Perfecta, intense pulsed light laser, and photodynamic therapy. We also offer services such as laser hair removal, spray tanning, and tattoo removal. Body sculpting procedures are available to target cellulite and unwanted wrinkles on the skin, creating a toned, tighter look and feel.

Medical Dermatology Treatments

Medical treatments for skin conditions like nail fungus, hair loss, melasma, lipoma, cysts, warts, and skin tags are also available. Acne scars and other unwanted scars can be treated topically or by laser. Our advanced laser treatments help our patients cope with various unwanted skin conditions. For example, we offer a technique that uses ultrasound therapy to treat and tighten sagging skin on the face, predominantly around the brow, chin, and neck.

Facial Enhancements that Eliminate Loose Skin and Tighten the Face

We offer three cosmetic surgery procedures to the face: blepharoplasty, facelift, and neck lift, all of which eliminate droopy skin while tightening it. The eyelid blepharoplasty surgery tightens saggy skin around either or both the upper and lower eyelids. A neck lift or facelift seeks to eliminate loose skin from the neck and to tighten the face, shedding years off one’s appearance.

Skin Cancer Removal & Treatment

If you suspect you have dangerous growths or moles on your skin, see a licensed dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon for diagnosis and a determination as to whether the growth can become malignant. Routine examinations are critical. We recommend patients be examined often, and if one is even more exposed to the sun than is typical, more routine examinations should be performed due to the sun damage that can result.

Skin Cancer Removal & Treatment

Skin cancer can grow early on and evolve from pre-cancerous lesions. Our office and surgeons routinely perform removal surgical excisions and offer other appropriate treatments depending on the type, size, and nature of the tumor present. The location of the cancerous tumor is also taken into account. When the tumor is present on the face, we often opt for Mohs micrographic surgery to preserve as much healthy natural tissue as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients benefit from a yearly skin exam. If you have a history of skin cancer, lots of sun exposure, or atypical moles, your dermatologist may recommend more frequent visits.
If a spot looks concerning, a biopsy may be recommended. In many cases it can be done during the same appointment, depending on what is found and your care plan.
Arrive with clean skin and minimal makeup. Avoid self-tanner before your visit, and bring a list of medications plus notes or photos of any spots you want checked.
