Dr. Khadavi was extremely professional and skilled in his analysis of which treatments were best suited for my skin type. The staff was equally attentive and made the overall experience 5 stars. I felt safe and relaxed during my visit. This is my new office for anything Dermatology related!
An amazing staff. Especially Dolph who guided me through what treatments would be best to address my concerns. He knew exactly what treatments would be best and I got amazing results. Abida was amazing in administering the treatments - very kind and gentle. Love this office.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this practice. For starters, Dr. Alex Khadavi is as talented as injectors come! It was my first time getting Botox so I was a little apprehensive but Dr. and staff made me feel at ease with my treatment. He was very gentle, confident and most importantly - skilled! It’s been about a week now and I am loving the results!!! If you are interested in getting Botox I would highly recmmmend Dr. Khadavi, you can thank me later :)
Wanted to reduce wrinkling on my forehead, between my eyes and Crowe’s feet around my eyes. Looks great and I thought it would be pretty painful, but really wasn’t. Doc and staff gave me realistic expectations and am very happy I decided to have them do it. The con is that it doesn’t last forever and you have to go back for touch ups, but they let me know what to expect and when to come back.
I have been seeing Doctor Khadavi for 5 years. In the beginning, I was apprehensive of cosmetic injections, cost, discomfort, change in appearance. I soon became a trusting patient of Doctor Khadavi. His knowledge of the contour of the face, muscles, nerves, skin, cosmetic procedures, continues to provide an elevated personal improvement in my aging process without looking extreme. He has an artistic eye for real and natural, plus a skill technique and knowledge to see beyond the needle. He is personable and caring. A trusting team is quickly builds between patient and doctor.
Today was my first visit and it was awesome! Very friendly and fast service. I had some sun spots lasered on my back and shoulders. I will be back in a month for my second treatment and to have my moles checked. This was recommended since I have some questionable looking moles and have never had them looked at before. I'm excited to go back. Would highly recommend Dr. Alex.
I have been coming to Encino Dermatology for a few years now and have been really happy with my results. I have seen a few aestheticians, their nurse Abida and Dr. Khadavi over the years. They have the best prices ever. Honestly, this is what keeps me coming back. You get high quality treatments for amazing prices. Their facials include microdermabrasion and a mini peel, this is their STANDARD facial! Everywhere else these are expensive add-ons. Abida does my laser hair removal and is an angel. I'm such a wimp when it comes to lasers and she takes her time to ice pack me (even after numbing) and goes section by section. I have just 2 treatments left and I'm going to be completely hair free from the waist down. Again, best prices ever. She's done a smidge of filler in my lips and when I asked her about my nose she had Dr. Khadavi come take a look. Dr. Khadavi saw me and said he could easily correct an imbalance in my nose by putting a bit of filler in the tip and bridge. It actually made a big difference and I'm so happy I did it. The treatments I've had here really have made me feel more confident. My skin has never looked better! I cannot comment on billing or pricing issues that others have mention but I've paid on my credit card each time because my insurance doesn't cover any cosmetic treatments and I've not had any issues. They always have specials on amazing skin care products. Also, the doctor has a face serum called RejuveMD that gives an instant lifting effect and makes my skin soooo much more radiant and again it's half the price of other expensive skin care serums!
Dr. Khadavi is truly a hidden gem. He is so much more than a dermatologist. The depth of his knowledge in cutting edge medical science is unexpected and very impressive. Over the years I have recommended so many friends and clients. He never disappoints.
I refuse to have surgery and why should I when you have a doctor like, Dr. Alex Khadavi. He provides the best anti-aging option and his expertise give you the most amazing results. I highly recommend Dr. Khadavi for all of your cosmetic dermalogical needs. I have stated before, and I will say it again, "my face is his masterpiece!". I don't know exactly my needs so I leave it to the expert. The balance and youthfulness of my face without looking "done" is an art.
I came into Dr. Khadavi's office for botox and a peel. Dr. Khadavi insisted I needed injections in my eye hallows with Radiasse. I told him I was reluctant b/c the skin is so thin there and I had a wedding coming up. He told me I would have no bumps under my eyes and very minimal swelling that would last up to 2 days. He also told me he could reverse the process if needed. Well it turns out radiasse is not reversible. I have extreme bruising and welts under my eye and the left side of my eye is twitching. The representations made to me were totally wrong. I have called to insist I get my money back, but my calls have been dodged.
Good day, and thank you for your question! Ideally you should have your facial and then get your Filler or Botox after. But, if the Facial was an afterthought you will need to wait 2-3 weeks post treatment to receive a Facial due to the fact that you need to give the treatment a chance to "Set in". Hope this helps, good luck with your skin care journey! Dr. Khadavi, MD
Hi Matty, thank you for your question. It is a natural reaction to peel a little or experience dryness while using Retin A for it is a form of exfoliation. If you like the results that using Retin A brings, I would recommend applying moisturizer after you apply the Retin A at night, and if you are experiencing dryness still, I would say to try an oil (Vitamin E, Jojoba, Jasmine, etc.) only 2-3 drops should do the trick. I recommend these oils because they absorb well into the skin and will not clog the pores. I hope this information helps you along your skin journey. Best of luck to you!
Hello, thank you for your question. It is not recommended to receive a diamond peel or any microdermabrasion twice a week. You never want to over exfoliate your skin as it can be too harsh. I would recommend to be given a microdermabrasion once per month and use a gentle exfoliant or chemical exfoliant once per week, except on the week of receiving the microdermabrasion. Over exfoliating can remove the natural oils and healthy skin cells which are needed to protect your skin's natural barrier. Seek informative advice from a professional skin care specialist to acquire and understand the proper regimen for your specific needs! Good luck! Best, Dr. Khadavi
That's a very good question. It will lighten freckles very lightly and it helps with the removal of blackheads as well. Best, Dr. K
That's a very good question, I would wait 2-3 weeks in between each micro. Best, Dr. K
