Dr. A. David Rahimi is a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship trained Cosmetic Surgeon practicing in Mid-Wilshire Los Angeles, California. He offers a broad spectrum of cosmetic procedures, including dermal fillers and liposculpture, but Dr. Rahimi is best known for his acne scar removal, skin rejuvenation, and skin tightening procedures. After graduating with his bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Dr. Rahimi received his medical degree from George Washington University. He then completed an internship at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Medical Center, before fulfilling his dermatology residency in New York City at Mount Sinai Medical Center. His fellowship training in Newport Beach, California (which was certified by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery) altered the course of his career. During this time, Dr. Rahimi witnessed a woman undergo a simple cosmetic procedure, only to face serious health complications due to an adverse reaction to anesthesia. She ended up fighting for her life, which shocked Dr. Rahimi and forever changed the way he thought about cosmetic surgery. He knew there had to be a better approach. It was then that Dr. Rahimi became incredibly passionate about minimally invasive procedures. “Less invasive is better. Local anesthesia and mild sedation are all that are ever needed,” he says. Dr. Rahimi’s happy patients know that his approach yields beautiful (yet safe) outcomes. “Patients want to look like their best selves, not someone else,” he says. Dr. Rahimi is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology. He is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Academy of Dermatology, and the American Society of Dermatological Surgery. Dr David Rahimi has been awarded the Top Doctor and Super Doctor awards in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Most recently in 2022 he was awarded the "America's Best Dermatologist" award by Newsweek. Dr. Rahimi is proud to treat patients of all needs, skin tones, and budgets. He proudly notes that everyone at his Los Angeles practice, Forever Young, is bilingual in both English and Spanish.

Dr. Rahimi’s motto is safety first! I have the utmost respect for him. No need for even twilight anesthesia for very effective procedures like ulthera and mixto fractional laser. Mild tranquilizer and pain medication suffices. Because of his use of these procedures on me over the last ten years have I have been able avoid a face and neck lift and I am 70 years who grew up in the sun. He has erased a lot of sun damage. Everyone I meet thinks I am 55. Dr. Rahimi and his entire staff are very welcoming and kind.
I have had several treatments with Dr Rahimi over the past five years. Not only is he unbelievably skilled and experience as a doctor, but he really cares about his patience and giving them the best results possible. He answers his texts and phone calls and makes himself available for questions or concerns. He has an extensive number of different lasers and other treatment modalities and is able to individualize them for the specific concerns of each patient. I also understand he is a skilled surgeon so I have not personally experienced this as I am trying to get surgery like results without a knife. Dr Rahimi also cares about patient's comfort during procedures as he realizes that if a patient is in pain it is not going to yield the same depth of treatment or results-procedures like CO2, even with numbing cream are known to be incredibly painful and many people avoid them for this reason. He offers in office anesthesia of different levels, depending on the procedure, making it comfortable and allowing him to get the best results possible. I am five days out from CO2 and my skin is not peeling or irritated at all. I had a reaction to the occlusive ( Vaseline) that I use post procedure and Dr. immediately responded to my text and told me what to do. It was gone in two days and my skin is soft and glow. I am excited to see the results as they develop over the next few weeks. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Rahimi in my toolbox to fight aging!
Dr. Rahimi is an exceptional physician whose expertise, honesty, and patient-centered approach set him apart. I have been seeing him for years, initially seeking treatment for concerns about my facial skin. He recommended the most non-invasive options, always prioritizing natural results. His modest use of fillers and Botox, combined with his deep knowledge of dermatology, has given me complete confidence in his care. He never pushes unnecessary treatments and will honestly tell you if something isn’t needed. Beyond that, he is kind, patient, and provides outstanding care for my entire family, including my husband and teenagers. I highly recommend Dr. Rahimi for all skincare needs—you couldn’t be in better hands.
Dr. Rahimi is an amazing dermatologist. Not only is he an expert in his field, but his care and compassion toward his patients is next level. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a dermatologist to book a consultation with him. He’s also incredibly fair in his pricing. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
If I could, I would give Dr. Rahimi 10 stars. Only regret I have is not meeting him sooner. I am so so thankful for Dr. Rahimi. He is extremely well spoken, clear, and intelligent. He really does care for his patients. I've always felt so comfortable and safe under his care. He is so knowledgeable and experienced, I trust him very much! I am seeing him for 2 separate (and challenging) issues and he has already been able to deliver results, especially when I had zero hope. In just 2 sessions, Dr. Rahimi has lightened up my arm lift and thigh lift scars exponentially! They have flattened and lightened significantly. Dr. Rahimi is also injecting diluted steroid in my mid-face after another doctor injected too much Sculptra leaving me overfilled. He has really changed my life and most importantly given me hope. I cannot recommend this doctor enough. Thank you Dr. Rahimi!!!
Dr. Rahimi is an amazing dermatologist. He is so knowledgeable and kind and caring. He recently took care of me and my mom and we couldn't be happier with the results. He patiently answered all of our questions before the procedure. He has so many lasers and picks the right one to get the best results.I have been a patient of him for many years and I always ask him to make me look like last year! He takes years away while I look natural; I'm so grateful for his capable hands and attentive personality. The staff is fantastic and took great care of us. I would give them a 10 star rating!
Dr Rahimi is absolutely incredible!!!! He is incredibly kind and honest. He is not interested in just making money, he wants to ensure that he gives you the best result to look natural. His background in dermatology and plastic surgery allows for such a breadth of knowledge. He always has the patient in mind. Great results and great person. You can trust him.
Dr. Rahimi is more than a dermatologist, he is an exceptional human being who truly cares for his patients' wellbeing—a true role model. He really goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the diagnosis and treatment plan. While some doctors might just do a procedure and move on to the next, Dr. R reaches out personally to follow up and ensure you are healing properly post-treatment. He is very quick to respond to any questions that may arise as well, even during his off-time. Most importantly, he is extremely honest and doesn't push any procedure that will be a waste of your time and money like some others clinics might. He sees his patients as a part of his family, not as a business opportunity. He is truly dedicated to his practice and patient care, and is one of the best LA has to offer. I feel so lucky to have found him and the trust I have built for him over the last 4 years.
LOOK NO FURTHER! You want amazing results. Go to FOREVER YOUNG, Inc. Dr. Rahimi is the best. High Quality results at an excellent rate!!! In addition he does the work himself. He knows what you need and what you don't. He doesn't make you waste money for things he knows he can make you look better using a procedure that will save you money and get better results. I've been going to him for over 22 years and I still look fabulous!!!
This review for Dr. Rahimi is long overdue. I struggled with mild - moderate acne for 13 years. I can safely say I tried every OTC medication available at the time. Nothing ever worked so I held out hope that acne was something I would eventually outgrow. I was wrong. At 24 my acne reach its peak and was the worst it had ever been in my life. I thought I was destined to live with acne forever. My boyfriend begged me to see a dermatologist but I refused. My brother (whose face was a lot worse than mine) had a terrible experience with a money hungry derm so I was skeptical and mistrustful of them. Well, I bit the bullet and did my research and found Dr. Rahimi. I made an appt. He immediately made me feel at ease. He attentively listened to my concerns and thoroughly examined my skin before prescribing a combination of a topical cream and oral medication. It took about 5 months to see results and before I knew it my acne was GONE and my overall skin texture improved. I couldn't believe it. I did not experience any peeling nor side effects from the treatment. Other than the occasional hormonal break-out, my acne never came back. In the end, my only regret was not seeking Dr. Rahimi's expertise sooner. Who new only one consultation and 5 months of treatment could have spared me years of misery. This Doctor cured my acne and for that I'll forever be grateful. Now, at 31, as I embark on the next phase of aging, I trust Dr. Rahimi to guide me with the same expertise and care he exhibited in treating my acne.
Dear patient, Please don't consider this medical advice. I am not familiar with your medical history and background. Having said that, generally speaking, acne can be caused by bacteria, yeast and other organisms on the skin, hormonal changes, food triggers and more. Start conservative: Consider an anti-bacterial and anti fungal face and body wash. Topial creams such as Retin A and Celocin T lotion and Differing gel can also be helpful. If these are not effective I would recommend considering a course of oral antibiotics or Spririnolactone. Accutane is aggressive and is a last resort. You will not be able to get pregmany for 6-9 months after starting Accutane. Accutane can also have many side effects such as depression and hair loss and joint pains etc I hope this is helpful Dr R.
Dear Patient, Sculptra is basically ground up suture material. They was Sculptra replaces volume is causing a mild inflammatory reaction that causes more Collagen production. I recommend that you consider an anti-inflammatory diet. Additionally cosider injection of very dilute anti-inflammatory KENELOG with large volume of Saline to wash out the inflammation. I hope this is helpful. Dr David R.
Dear patient, I have all the modalities you describe in your question. Non-surgical lifts with THERMAGE FLX and Ultherapy lift the skin but do not do much for the deep wrinkles around the lips. Micro needling with Radiofrequency (Venus Viva) and aggressive and deel CO2 laser resurfacing are more appropriate for deep wrinkles around the mouth. I hope you have an aopprtunity to watch our videos. Dr David R.
Dear patient, Unfortunately if you have not responded to a proper doage of accutane (60mg may be too low for your weight) or the proper time (did you take it for 5-6 months regularly?) you may not rspond to a third round. I recommend that you see your doctor to have your hormone levels checked. If your hormones are irregular you may benefit from pilld to regulate your hormone. I hope this was helpful. Dr R.
Dear patient, I have used several different types of fractional CO2 lasers since 1999. In my opinion MIXTO CO2 laser is one of the safest and most versatile CO2 laser resurfacing devices out there. With proper pre-laser prepping of the skin (bleaching cream and Retin A) it can be safely used in patients with darker and more sensitive skin. It is very adjustable and the 180micron handpiece can go very deep and tighten deep wrinkles or resurface deep acne scars. The 300 micron handpiece is more superficaial and can be used or light resurfacing. It can be used in the fractional mode or in the FULLY ABLATIVE mode. Thee are literally THOUSANDS of different combinations adnd seeing. More importantly this laser can be safely used in combination and concurrently with other modalities. I hope this was helpful Yours, Dr A, David Rahimi
