Medical Skin Care in Beverly Hills

No. Botox relaxes muscles and filler restores volume — neither affects texture, pore size, pigmentation or scarring. Those are skin-quality problems needing treatments that work on the skin itself, such as RF microneedling, EGF microneedling or PRP. Patients frequently come in asking for injectables when a skin treatment is what would actually help.

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, and it is not close. Most of what people experience as ageing skin is cumulative UV damage rather than chronological ageing. Sunscreen prevents further damage and protects the results of anything else you invest in. We would rather tell you that than sell around it.

Most skin treatments work as a course of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with results continuing to build for three to six months afterward as collagen remodels. Significant acne scarring often needs more. Single-session transformation is not something we will promise.

RF microneedling is usually the strongest option, because the radiofrequency energy reaches the fibrous tethers beneath rolling and boxcar scars that surface treatments cannot. Deep ice-pick scars often need additional approaches such as subcision. Expect meaningful improvement over a course rather than complete erasure.

Some are considerably safer than others. RF microneedling and PRP are among the safest for Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin because neither targets melanin. Aggressive lasers and deep chemical peels carry genuine risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Dr. Moghadam selects treatment and settings based on your skin type and will tell you plainly if something is not appropriate.

A 24K gold facial is safe two to three days beforehand — hydrating, calming, no downtime. Avoid microneedling, laser and injectables within two weeks of anything important, since redness, flaking, swelling and bruising are all unpredictable.

Yes, and it matters more than most patients expect. In-clinic treatment every few weeks cannot outweigh what you do daily. A sensible routine — sunscreen, a retinoid if your skin tolerates one, and gentle cleansing — substantially improves what treatments achieve.

A hydrating facial will make your skin look better for a week or two, which is genuinely useful before an event. Structural change — texture, scarring, collagen — requires a course of treatment and months of remodelling. We will be clear about which you are buying.
