Botox Injections
Botox injections temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. This non-surgical treatment effectively smooths forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months. Ideal for patients seeking a more youthful appearance without downtime. Our board-certified dermatologists ensure natural-looking results through precise injection techniques tailored to individual facial anatomy.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fraxel laser treatments improve skin texture and tone by targeting damaged skin cells. This fractional laser technology stimulates collagen production for smoother, tighter skin. Addresses sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines. Multiple sessions yield optimal results. Safe for all skin types when administered by experienced professionals using calibrated medical-grade equipment.
Body Contouring
CoolSculpting and SculpSure systems eliminate stubborn fat cells through controlled cooling or heat application. Targets love handles, abdominal fat, and double chins resistant to diet and exercise. Permanent fat reduction occurs as body naturally processes treated cells. Multiple treatment options allow personalized approaches to body shaping goals.
Hair Loss Therapy
TED System delivers nutrients to hair follicles using ultrasound technology. Non-invasive treatment stimulates hair growth and improves hair density. Addresses male/female pattern baldness and stress-related hair thinning. FDA-cleared with visible results after 2-3 monthly sessions. Combines well with PRP therapy or medication-based treatments for enhanced outcomes.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Comprehensive skin examinations detect precancerous and cancerous lesions. Board-certified dermatologists perform total-body checks using dermatoscopy for early detection. Recommended annual screenings for adults, with more frequent monitoring for high-risk patients. Early detection significantly improves treatment success rates for melanoma and other skin cancers.

Dr. Amerian has been my dermatologist for over 25 years! I would not let anybody else in this city or any other city touch my face. She's that good! Dr. Mary shares her office with her brother, Dr. George (also a dermatologist) who is equally amazing. You can't go wrong with either one of them. They are extremely skilled doctors who really care about your skin and will not do anything if they don't think you need it- medical or cosmetic. I've had skin damage and when either Dr.
A or Dr. G have removed anything, there has never been a scar. This is a one stop practice that has it all. You can get the best facial that is tailored to your skin by their wonderful aesthetician, Jonee who is a miracle worker and makes me feel and look like a million bucks. She has also been with Dr. A for as long as I've been a patient. There is also a woman who does laser hair removal. The staff is incredible and what is really telling is that the entire staff have been working here for years and years. They are so sweet. Honestly, coming to this practice is a joy!

I see Dr. George approximately twice a year for Fraxel Laser and filler on my face. Each time I visit his office, I am always amazed by the results, which manage to decrease my age by years and provide me with a natural, refreshed look. Sounds like a commercial, I know, but results are the bottom line and I wouldn't keep going back if the results did not meet/oftentimes exceed my expectations.
I do very few reviews and only for those people I trust and who deliver results in a positive environment. While results are primary, the process is always such a pleasure. Dr. George is warm, gentle, professional and thoughtful. He spends a great deal of time studying my face and answering my questions. Meticulous throughout the processes, he demonstrates not only precision, but true artistry. And he also has a nice sense of humor! In any case, I always know I am in the best of hands when I am there.

I have know Dr, Amerian for over 20 years. She is extremely thorough in her mole check and proactive in prevention. I have seen her Facialist Joni for years and can not recommend her enough. Since I started with her in my 30s I get comments on my skin in my 40s. They are caring, wonderful, smart, experienced and professional. The office is well organized and the office staff is beyond friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a dermatologist or cosmetic dermatologist you can trust Dr. Amerian and her brother Dr. George. He too is calm and caring.

I had a very dark and stubborn age spot on my cheek and Dr. George worked some magic and it's gone. So grateful! I did a LOT of research on the many types of lasers, how they work and which ones work best for sun damage bc there are so many different lasers and i didn't want to waste my time (or $) getting the wrong laser treatment. I chose Santa Monica Laser and Skincare Dermatology Center because they have the best (and most) lasers. And good thing because it took a couple of different lasers to remove the pigmentation. But I am SO pleased with the results. Thank you Dr. George!
