About

The practice opened its first office in April 2019 on an upper floor of a downtown Los Angeles office building. A Brentwood office followed in February 2022, after patients asked it to expand beyond downtown. Dr. James Y. Wang and Alison Deans founded the practice together and serve as its co-CEOs. According to the practice, it describes itself as forward-thinking and serves patients across California, with a focus on medical, cosmetic and laser dermatology.

On the medical side, visits can cover consultations, mole checks, and treatment for acne and scarring, hair loss, psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, warts and skin cancer, along with procedures such as cyst drainage, skin biopsies, skin cancer excision and cryotherapy. The cosmetic side includes laser treatments, botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, non-laser procedures such as microneedling and PRP, a range of chemical peels, and spa facials.

Patients can book in-office medical or cosmetic visits, or a virtual visit, with a new-patient orientation. The practice accepts most major PPO insurance plans, offers online bill payment and financing, and runs clinical trials. Its website includes an insurance guide explaining how preventive skin cancer screening is handled.

The practice says quality of care depends on provider training and on the whole visit, from the staff to the technology used. It describes itself as combining clinical care with attention to culture, staff and the systems that support them.

The brand presents itself with a youthful, urban feel.
