Dr. Ohara Aivaz is a board-certified dermatologist practicing in Beverly Hills, California. She is an expert in both medical and cosmetic dermatology. After graduating magna cum laude from the University of California, Irvine with Phi Beta Kappa honors distinction, she went on to complete her medical degree at Georgetown University Medical School. She then completed a prestigious combined Internal Medicine and Dermatology residency program at Georgetown University Hospital and Medstar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC. During her residency, she had the unique opportunity to receive training at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Dermatology Department, and thus supplemented her rigorous training by working with the NIH’s world experts in Dermatology. She was awarded the position of Chief Resident of Dermatology in her last year of residency. Dr. Aivaz is one of a handful of dermatologists who are double-board certified in both Dermatology and Internal Medicine.

Dr. Aivaz’s calm and caring demeanor, as well as her expertise in medical dermatology and facial rejuvenation, have earned her several “Top Doctors” awards since she has been in practice. Her personal philosophy in facial rejuvenation is to naturally rewind the hands of time to make patients appear as a better, more refreshed version of themselves. She strives to help each patient achieve his or her aesthetic goals through a multi-dimensional approach that addresses numerous factors related to aging. Her training at Georgetown emphasized the philosophy of ‘cura personalis’, care of the whole person. As such, she gets to know each of her patients to understand his or her needs, desired outcomes, and personal philosophies on aesthetic treatments so that she can determine which procedures they will benefit from the most.

Dr. Aivaz is a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honors society, and belongs to various professional societies including the Medical Dermatology Society and the Los Angeles Metropolitan Dermatologic Society.

Dr. Aivaz has lectured nationally, including invitations to speak at the National Institutes of Health, and internationally. She has also authored several articles in peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA Dermatology.

In her spare time, Dr. Aivaz loves to bake, play tennis, weight lift and run, and spend time with her family.
