Dr. Panta Rouhani Schaffer, Founder
Welcome!
Our skin is truly the outward manifestation of our inner health. When I collaborate with patients on their plan for healthier skin, our conversations are always rooted in overall health and well-being.
As a physician-scientist, I use my dedication to research to inform our treatment plans. I believe in multi-modal treatment arcs with the use of lights, laser surgery, and cosmeceuticals. Whether our shared goals are preventing skin cancer, reversing sun damage, or stimulating collagen production, I design treatments focused on synergistically improving both form and function.
While changes of aging are predictable, the rate of these changes is unique to each patient. The key to prevention is to have a personalized plan that aligns with your needs. I hope to be part of your plan.
Best,
Dr. Panta
