Dr Patel has personally treated thousands of patients with the latest advanced skincare strategies as the Medical Director of The Institute for Advanced Skincare and Optimal Health. The evolving philosophy of skincare is simple and mirrors the newest treatments for most other medical disorders. We now recognize that the condition of the skin is the external manifestation of our body's internal condition. Poor diet, behaviors such as smoking, poor nutritional supplementation, hormonal disorders and untreated medical disorders are reflected in our skin's appearance. The ability to treat these factors in concert permits the results of a skin intervention and maintenance skin care to be much more successful and sustainable over time. As with other medical disorders, one day we'll successfully identify the gene that controls the process and our therapy will allow us to turn this gene off. But until then, treatment of the underlying cause is the perfect synergy.

Currently, Dr Patel, provides state-of-the-art treatments with technologies such as laser skin resurfacing, The Pixel®, Botox®, Restylane®, Juvaderm® and minimally invasive body contouring using the Accent Laser®
