The Dermatology and Laser Group

The Dermatology and Laser Group brings dermatologist-level oversight to laser hair removal in Manhattan, founded and led by Dr. Arash Akhavan, a board-certified dermatologist (MD, FAAD) with 18 years of experience. Dr. Akhavan holds academic appointments as Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center and previously served as Chief Resident there — credentials that distinguish this practice from most laser clinics operating without physician direction. He also serves as a consultant to leading cosmetic device companies, giving the practice early access to emerging laser technology. The clinic's laser portfolio includes Candela systems and Nd:YAG technology, along with IPL, within a full-service dermatology and cosmetic practice that spans injectables, resurfacing, and body treatments. Dr. Akhavan has been cited as an authority in the New York Times and more than 300 other media outlets, and has been recognized by Castle Connolly as a Top Doctor for over ten years — a peer-nominated distinction. New York Magazine has also named him among the city's best dermatologists. With 456 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, patient satisfaction at this Manhattan practice is consistently high. Appointments can be booked online at dermatologyandlasergroup.com or by calling the Manhattan office directly.
