About

Dr. Alex Eshaghian, MD, PhD, is a physician in Encino, California, specializing in cosmetic dermatology with over 15 years of experience. He emphasizes an individualized approach to aesthetic medicine, believing that "one-size-fits-all" is a red flag. Dr. Eshaghian evaluates each patient individually, considering their unique facial anatomy, skin quality, concerns, goals, and treatment history. His philosophy is not to sell treatments, but to help patients achieve natural, balanced, and appropriate results, often stating that "more isn’t always better." All treatment recommendations are physician-guided, have a clear reason, and are designed with the patient's long-term results in mind, sometimes even recommending no treatment at all. Dr. Eshaghian offers a range of services including Botox, Daxxify, Voluma, IPL, laser resurfacing, and microneedling RF. He customizes treatments like Daxxify for neck bands to achieve natural-looking improvement without a "frozen look." For skin rejuvenation, he combines treatments such as SkinPen Microneedling with VAMP, or offers PRX Treatment, always prioritizing the right treatment for individual skin type and goals over simply doing more.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Alex Eshaghian

Sourced directly from Dr. Alex Eshaghian's social posts and replies.

What causes neck bands and how do they affect appearance?
Vertical neck lines, or neck bands, are caused by the platysma muscles and can make the neck appear older, even when the skin itself looks good. These muscles can become increasingly noticeable with movement and over time.
Source →
What is Dr. Alex's approach to Daxxify treatment for neck bands?
Dr. Alex uses Daxxify to soften prominent neck bands and create a smoother, more refined appearance without surgery, by strategically relaxing portions of the platysma muscle. He customizes treatments based on each patient’s anatomy and muscle activity, aiming for natural-looking improvement while maintaining normal expression and movement, never a 'frozen look'.
Source →
What is GloTox and what skin concerns does it address?
GloTox is a combination treatment designed for patients looking to improve multiple skin concerns simultaneously. It combines Botox or Daxxify with a VI Peel to address expression lines, skin texture, tone, acne, pigmentation, and overall skin radiance.
Source →
What are the typical treatment plans for VI Peels?
Some patients see noticeable improvement after a single VI Peel, especially for mild sun damage, dullness, or uneven texture. For conditions like acne, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or significant photoaging, a customized series of approximately three to six treatments, performed several weeks apart, is often recommended for best results.

What is Vollure and Dr. Alex's approach to using it for lips?
Vollure is a hyaluronic acid filler that can be used to improve lip volume, shape, symmetry, and definition, while maintaining a soft, balanced appearance. Dr. Alex's goal when performing Vollure lip filler is to create soft, balanced, natural-looking lips.

Source →
How do chemical peels work and what do they treat?

Source →
How do SkinPen Microneedling and VAMP work together for skin rejuvenation?
SkinPen Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin, while VAMP delivers a regenerative topical serum. They work effectively together for skin rejuvenation as they complement each other's actions, enhancing skin health, hydration, texture, and stimulating collagen production.
Source →
What is PRX treatment and what are its benefits?
PRX is a professional topical skin-rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin brightness, texture, firmness, and the appearance of fine lines. It achieves these results without the controlled surface peeling typically associated with a traditional chemical peel.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$463

Payments

14

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Alex Eshaghian received $463 across 14 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was REVANCE THERAPEUTICS, INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
