Zaki Taher, MD

Dr. Zaki Taher is a highly professional and skilled dermatologist who takes the time to answer patient questions and address their concerns. Six years ago, Dr. Taher removed several lypomas from my forearms and the results today are truly amazing- almost no indication of scarring whatsoever. I highly recommend Dr. Taher to be your dermatologist. The Edmonton region is very fortunate to have such a skilled dermatologist practicing in Our community and I regard him in the top three percent of his colleagues in his profession. Dr. Taher could easily be practicing in larger cities like Vancouver or Los Angeles and I am truly grateful that he has chosen to make the Edmonton region his home.

Dr. Taher and all the staff at the clinic are very positive and treat all with respect. I am receiving PRP treatments as some of my hair has not regrown two years after completing chemotherapy. While it is still early days for my treatment, I am so pleased to see results already!

Can’t say enough things about this clinic. You walk in and feel like a movie star. You are greeted by the smiling receptionists. Then put into one of the 3 waiting rooms, the medical area, laser or injectables. The nurse injectors are amazing, such knowledgeable girls who have created a name for them selves.the laser tech are very friendly and knowledgeable. They have the top of the line laser and their results show.

Wonderful my acne has cleared up 3 months on Accutane now 40ml hasn’t experienced much dryness my lips occasionally will be dry except my face is always red hot and uncomfortable. It’s been like this before I started but since I’ve started using Accutane it has gotten worse I always wear spf and moisturize daily

I didn’t actually see this doctor but was treated by his laser specialist Brittani and manager Lori. Both were absolutely amazing and very professional. The clinic was very professional and extremely clean. All the staff were very helpful. Updated on 1 Oct 2018: Hey there! Sorry I am new at this Realself review! I am a tall curvy girl (5'11 and 220lbs) and don't really have a problem with my hour glass shape. However, my arms have always drove me nuts! I have a smaller upper body but my arms have always just been so big. It is often difficult to find shirts and blazers that will fit around them. About a year ago, I began researching Coolsculpting. I went and got a consultation at Serene Radiance in Edmonton (which was fantastic) but opted not to get the procedure because my arm was too long to fit into the normal applicator. I would have needed two applicators which would have dramatically increased the cost. So, after a tonne of research, I decided to do a consultation with Lucere Dermatology clinic in Edmonton for Sculpsure. At my consultation, the technician Brittani told me I was a perfect candidate because I have a pocket of visible fat that wasn't too large. Also, Sculpsure's applicators can be placed anywhere so my long arms didn't pose a problem. We decided on two treatments of two applicators per arm (four applicators constitutes one treatment). So for me to get both my arms done (two applicators per arm) is actually only one treatment. I will get the second treatment in 6-8 weeks. For two treatments, the clinic charged $2300. The clinic was also having a special where they are giving Kybella injections (an injection which kills fat cells...also known as lipo-injections) along with the Sculpsure. This treatment usually costs about $600 but they were giving it for free when you purchase a Sculpsure treatment. The techinician gave me about 5 injections per arm. They didn't really hurt but definitely stung little bee stings right after for about 20 hours. Right after the injections, my Sculpsure treatment began. It was not fun but definitely wasn't scream-worthy. Apparently the legs hurt the most, then the arms and then the abdomen. The more nerves an area has the more painful it is. It felt like a hot frying pan on my sensitive arm skin. It went in waves which was great because I always knew I only had to last about 20 seconds before a bit of a break. The technician Brittani had a little hose that blew cool air and she blew it around the applicators which helped a lot. I think it just added a distraction from the pain. She also chatted with me the whole treatment which helped me keep my mind off of what was happening. I also think the Kybella injections made my arms more sensitive so I may have felt more pain then some other people. Immediately after the treatments, my arms were sore and felt like they had been stung by little bees. They also swelled up and bruised (see photos on last post). This apparently has to do with the Kybella and not the Sculpsure. The stinging went away by the next day but I am still a bit swollen three days out. Hoping it will go away soon. Apparently with the two treatments (Kybella and Sculpsure) together, I will see a decrease of about 30% fat instead of just the 24% Sculpsure promises. I'll be posting updates soon! Drinking lots and lots of water to flush out the dead fat cells! Updated on 3 Oct 2018: Swelling has gone down but still swollen. Bruises are gone and arms slightly tender. I can also feel a couple little hard nodules but I’ve heard that’s completely normal. Can not wait to begin seeing results! Updated on 8 Oct 2018: Swelling is gone as are the bruises. It still feels like I have bruises where the Kybella was injected. It’s very sore. I don’t have any pain on the side of my arms where the Sculpsure applicators were. Hopefully the soreness goes away soon. I don’t see any difference but hopefully it happens soon! Updated on 8 Oct 2018: I don’t see any difference. My clothes also fit the same. I often had a lot of trouble fitting shirts and jackets because of my large arms. Can’t wait to have things fit better! I’ll keep you guys updated but hoping to go back for my second treatment in 5 weeks. Updated on 9 Oct 2018: Here is the photo comparison. The swelling has gone down but I feel like I am back to where I started. Can’t wait to begin to see results. 10 days post procedure photos are on top. You can tell they’re less swollen but still sore from Kybella! Updated on 21 Dec 2018: Just went for my second treatment! It’s been 8 weeks since my first and I don’t really see much of a difference. They sent me a before and after and I see a bit of a difference.....not a $2k difference but we’ll have to wait and see until after the second treatment. They also gave me a second treatment of Lipodissolve. I’ll keep you posted!

This was an incredible clinic. I have had treatments at a few places before. Other places have made me do 5 or 6 syringes of filler at a time with a lot of pressure. Dr. Taher takes his time and comes up with a treatment plan. I had a treatment with fewer syringes and look much better than other places made me. My lips look amazing too. Pricing was very fair. I will be coming in regularly to have my fillers and Botox.

I saw Dr. Zaki Taher because I realized I had looked like I had aged 10 years in the past 3 years. I looked so worn out and certainly felt it. I was tired of looking tired My friend had seen Dr. Taher and told me about him and the Lucere clinic. I had a great consultation with Dr. Taher. It was obvious Dr. T was an expert and had been doing cosmetic dermatology for a long time. I decided to get some botox and filler with him. Honestly, I was a bit nervous (because I hate needles!), but he was so calm and graceful, I barely felt a thing. I love the natural look he gave me. I was concerned with looking fake (as some people do when they have botox and filler). My friends noticed I look great, but they couldn’t really tell what I got done. My confidence has been boosted and I love the way I look. I have been thinking about getting some skin tightening done (Thermage) and will be going back, of course!

My friend went to see Dr. Taher and was so happy with his work. I had to go and see for myself. I had some bad acne scarring and I was really self conscious about it. Dr. Taher was so knowledgable and down to earth, he made me feel really comfortable. He was so kind. He did tell me that I would need a few treatments of Fraxel resurfacing to get the results I wanted. I've had 2 treatments and my scarring is about 80% gone...I'm so happy with my skin! I also got some filler and botox, just to look fresher and better. I was a little worried about looking fake, but I knew that Dr. T did such natural work from the photos that I saw and how my friend looked. I love my results. I have more confidence now...this is something that I didn't expect. Thank you, Dr. Taher!

I saw Dr. Taher becasue I wanted to look more youthful and attractive. I wanted my skin to look tighter and younger. He suggested the Thermage and a Fraxel as well. He combines these 2 treatments together because it gives the best results. My results were fabulous! The fraxel was amazing in removing my pigmentation and improving my texture. You can't see the results of the thermage right away, because it is stimulating your own body to produce collagen, so I noticed my biggest difference on the 3rd month. I have to say that Dr. Taher was so knowledgeable and had lots of integrity. He didnt try to sell me anything. He just told me what would work best for me. I appreciated it. The staff were also amazing, they made me feel so comfortable.

I recently went to Lucere Dermatology and saw Dr. Taher. I saw him for Botox before and was really happy with the results. I also asked for cheek filler when I first came to the clinic, but he said I didn't need any in the cheeks. He actually said I didn't need anything, which was so refreshing to hear because I have been to other places where they couldn't wait to sell me multiple filler syringes. I was really happy with my Botox results and I trusted him so I decided to keep going back to Dr. Taher. I did get some lip filler to just enhance my look and Dr. Taher did not make them look like duck lips, which I was so grateful for. They look beautiful and sexy and still natural. Thank you, Dr. T!!!
