Dr. Justine Park | Board Certified Dermatologist | Source | Dermatologist at Skin & Beauty Center

Dr. Justine Park, Dermatologist

Justine Park is a board-certified dermatologist who has spent over 20 years practicing all aspects of dermatology. Dr. Park has a passion for beauty and medicine - cosmetic dermatology is the quintessential expression of these two seemingly divergent ideas. Dr. Park has also served in the public eye, as a consultant for Ortho-Neutrogena, NBC Universal and as a spokesperson for the AllWell Beauty Skincare line as well as others. Her expertise in skincare product formulations also allows her to serve on special advisory boards including that for her current employer, Skin and Beauty Center and their skincare line, PielMD.

Specialties include:
· fillers
· toxins
· lasers
· microneedling
· chemical peels
· threadlift
· platelet rich plasma (PRP)
· skincare
· acne
· rosacea
· hair loss

Dr. Park received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California Berkeley, her medical degree from the University of Southern California (USC) and completed her residency at the King-Drew Medical Center and USC. She has served on faculty as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Dermatology at USC and has also served as Director of Pediatric Dermatology of Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

During her academic career, she received numerous accolades including being elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society, awards for speaking at local meetings and scholarships from national dermatology programs, as well as publishing several chapters in prominent dermatology textbooks and serving on governing boards within the Department of USC Dermatology. She decided to leave academic medicine in 2011, in pursuit of private practice as she developed her own style of providing compassionate care. She has remained active within her community, performing outreach to others regarding skin cancer prevention and detection at various levels including at her children's schools.

She is driven by making a difference in people's lives and empowering patients to put their best face forward. Natural beauty is her approach - with a firm belief passed on from her mother that "less is more". Every day is a new opportunity to help patients feel better and more confident in their skin.

Raised in southern California, she calls Los Angeles home and could not imagine a life anywhere else. She lives with her anesthesiologist husband and three beautiful boys and embraces a healthy lifestyle and family values. To balance her dynamic life, she practices yoga, cooks and bakes, and spends quality time with loved ones.
