Skinwell Dermatology

Ava Khosraviani and brings medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology together in one practice. The office is at Ventura Boulevard in Encino and is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is underground in the building, and metered street parking is often available out front. Appointments can be booked online, and teledermatology visits by computer or phone are offered, with prescriptions sent electronically to a pharmacy of the patient's choice.

A Signature Skin Check is a thorough, full-body examination. The dermatologist looks at every mole through a dermatoscope. Patients are taken to a private room and provided with a gown. A baseline check evaluates each mole and assigns a cancer risk level, and afterward some moles may be biopsied while others are watched over time. The practice advises a skin check once a year, and more often for moles at higher risk, for patients with a current skin cancer diagnosis, or for anyone with a personal or family history of skin cancer.

The cosmetic side covers Botox Cosmetic and Dysport for wrinkles, along with Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, RHA Collection and Sculptra fillers and collagen stimulators. Needle-less filler injection with a micro-cannula is also offered. Fillers can often be combined with Botox, chemical peels or microneedling in one visit. Filler results typically last 9 to 12 months, with some longer-acting products lasting longer, and about a week of recovery is typical, with bruising and swelling commonly occurring. Laser options include Cynosure SmartSkin CO2 resurfacing, Vbeam and Lumenis M22 IPL, along with Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling. Esthetician facials, including medical esthetic facials and teen and adult facials, round out the menu.
