Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine

The cosmetic and medical dermatology department at The Roxbury Institute is exclusively devoted to minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation. Procedures range from BOTOX to advanced laser treatments, with the goal being "invisible work" subtly refreshing features and restoring natural glow without altering unique facial expressions.

Our Approach to Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine

We believe the best aesthetic results come from understanding the skin deeply including its biology, its history, and what it needs now.

Our approach starts with a thorough evaluation, not a menu. We assess skin quality, texture, volume, and structure before recommending anything. Then we build a treatment plan using the right tools including injectables, lasers, energy devices, or a combination sequenced in the order that makes sense for you. Results should look like you at your best, not like a procedure.

Why Choose TRI
for Dermatology & Aesthetic

Our commitment to excellence sets us apart in every aspect of surgical care.

01
A Board-Certified Dermatologist at the Helm
Dr. Jennifer Ahdout is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology and holds a fellowship in dermatologic surgery. Her training spans UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, and UC Irvine — and she brings that depth of expertise to every patient she sees.
02
Medical Dermatology Alongside Cosmetic Care
We treat both the health and the appearance of your skin. Michael Bontekoe, PA-C, brings over two decades of clinical dermatology experience including years caring for medically complex patients at AIDS Healthcare Foundation-Los Angeles. Conditions like acne, rosacea, and pre-cancerous lesions receive the same attention as cosmetic goals.
03
Treatments Built Around Your Skin
No two patients have the same skin type, history, or goals. We take time to understand yours before recommending anything. Your treatment plan is built for your skin, your timeline, and your results.
04
The Right Tools, Used the Right Way
We invest in devices with documented, consistent results. Fraxel, CO2 laser, CoolSculpting, SculpSure, Thermage, and others. More importantly, we know when and how to use them. Treatment sequencing and selection matter more than equipment alone.
