Name: A. David Rahimi, MD

Statement: 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.
