ZO Skin Health and Facials

I am pleased to announce that I have teamed up with world-renowned Dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi and together we co-own the ZO SKIN CENTER in Newport Beach.  Our flagship ZO SKIN CENTRE^® AT NEWPORT BEACH FASHION ISLAND brings you everything you need to achieve smooth, radiant, younger-looking skin. The Centre offers the services of outstanding Newport Beach dermatologists, skilled aestheticians, and experienced ZO^® Skin Health Consultants, all in one beautiful venue. Here you’ll experience the ultimate in Newport skin care. The majority of my patients are interested in quality skin care tailored to their needs to maintain skin health over time. A very large portion of my time is dedicated to my facial aging practice. Unlike many other areas of the body, maintenance of the aging face is a continuum that links me and my patients over time.  I am a huge advocate of the Obagi skin care principles and I staff his clinic weekly in Laguna Beach seeing patients for skin care/facial aging. With age, the face changes in three ways:

1. The soft tissues of the face (skin, fat and connective tissue) fall with gravity over time
2. The facial fat atrophies over time leaving a hollowed appearance in very distinct areas
3. The skin ages with exposure to sun, tobacco use and the oxidation reactions that go on throughout our lifetime.

My goal as a physician dedicated to facial aging is to help my patients through the process from A to Z. I have spent a great deal of time and effort to study and to understand these three processes at a basic science level while also spending time with masters in each of these fields.

Each face has a completely unique set of needs and challenges. I want to understand your wishes, to discuss what we can achieve, and to design procedures that will meet your needs and wants. One of my great mentors used to explain that aging is not always a problem that requires a surgical solution. Not all patients benefit from surgery. For this reason, I have dedicated time not only to understanding plastic surgery of the face, but also fat transfer and non-surgical solutions as well. In the right patients, neurotoxins (Botox) and fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, etc) offer a great deal of benefit. Likewise, skin care is paramount and the cornerstone to maintenance of facial vitality. My goal is to guide you through the process of maintaining the aesthetics of your face in perpetuity. In many people, the appropriate solution involves a combination of skin conditioning, surgery, fat transfer, and/or fillers and Botox over time. By being conservative and utilizing multiple tools to affect change, long lasting and natural results can be achieved.
