How to Start Your Search

To start your search for a dermatologist in Los Angeles who provides cosmetic treatments, ask your general practitioner for recommendations. You can also check with the American Academy of Dermatology, which has a list of board-certified doctors available. If you have friends that have recently undergone the type of cosmetic procedure you want, ask them if they can recommend a board-certified dermatologist in Los Angeles.

Just bear in mind that being board-certified doesn’t necessarily make the doctor one a good dermatologist for the specific procedure you are seeking to have performed. Nevertheless, board certification is important since it shows that a doctor has completed the required training and passed the necessary exams and has continued ongoing education.

When searching for a dermatologist in Los Angeles to perform cosmetic procedures, you should find one who specializes in providing cosmetic treatments. Dermatologists with expertise in medical aesthetics specialize in different areas, so finding a doctor with extensive experience administering the types of treatments you seek is a smart choice.

When you look around for a dermatologist in Los Angeles, make sure to find one who attends continuing education courses, seminars, and conferences in order to stay up-to-date in his field. The field of medical aesthetics is constantly evolving, so it is essential for dermatologists to improve their skills and increase their knowledge.

Find out If the Procedure Will Be Performed by the Doctor or an Assistant

In some clinics, non-invasive cosmetic procedures are performed by an assistant rather than the doctor himself. If you want to ensure that the procedure will be performed by a doctor, request it at your initial consultation. Some physicians, particularly those who are busy performing surgical procedures, have their nurses or assistants perform minimally invasive procedures for them. These Physician Extenders often charge lower rated for the same procedures. If you don’t mind, just make sure that the assistant who will be performing the procedure possesses the proper qualifications and experience. Also make sure that the Physician Extenders work under the supervision of a Dermatologist rather than another doctor in an unrelated specialty who may not have directly trained them or supervise the quality of the treatment.

Is the price too good to be true?

When performing aesthetic injectibles, keep in mind that there is a high cost on acquiring Botox, Juvederm, Restylane and other fillers. Facilities that offer extraordinarily low prices should be questioned on where they purchase their products and whether these products are authentic and have come from proper distribution channels. Most dermatologists in Los Angeles run periodic specials on Botox and wrinkle fillers, but if a facility advertises and charges rates that are substantially lower, buyer beware.

Choose a Dermatologist in Los Angeles with the Right Personality

Qualifications, training, and reputation are important, but even if a dermatologist in Los Angeles has all of those things, you just might not click with him. Do your homework, but don’t feel bad if you discover that a doctor isn’t right for you.
Choose a dermatologist with whom you feel comfortable and who has a good attitude and bedside manner. A good doctor will take your input into consideration, do his best to answer your questions, and won’t pressure you into buying services or treatments you don’t want or need.

Selecting a dermatologist in Los Angeles to administer cosmetic treatments is an important task because of the variety of service providers who administer treatments. Dermatologists have been trained to diagnose and treat a variety of skin conditions. Since non-invasive aesthetic procedures deal directly with your skin, it is reassuring to rely on the expertise of an experienced dermatologist when you undergo treatment.
