At The Dermatology and Laser Group in Midtown Manhattan, achieving facial harmony is an art form grounded in advanced clinical science. Led by board-certified dermatologist and 13-time Castle Connolly Top Doctor Arash Akhavan, MD, FAAD, our practice specializes in natural, transformative results that elevate your inherent beauty — without ever looking overdone.

"Every face tells a unique story, and my role is to honor that story while helping my patients look as vibrant as they feel," says Dr. Arash Akhavan. "I never take a one-size-fits-all approach.

From restoring lost volume and erasing years of sun damage to achieving a non-surgical lift, our expert team provides a luxurious, customized clinical pathway designed exclusively for you.
