Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, MD

Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi is a Board-Certified Dermatologic Surgeon practicing in Chevy Chase, Maryland, specializing in cosmetic and laser dermatology. She is a FAAD (Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology). Dr. Tanzi is committed to bringing patients the best possible treatments, regularly attending the "Controversies" meeting to discuss best techniques, newest technologies, and insider information. She emphasizes patient safety, stating that clinics providing dermal fillers should always have hyaluronidase available. Dr. Tanzi considers neuromodulators (like Botox) most effective for preventing dynamic wrinkles and recommends laser skin resurfacing to slow skin aging, viewing both as a good investment for facial aesthetics. She loves Sofwave for non-invasive skin lifting on the face, neck, and body, noting its ability to stimulate collagen without going too deep. Her practice, equipped with over 30 devices, also uses the versatile Ultraclear laser, known as the "cold" laser, which can treat almost all skin types. To enhance patient comfort, she anticipates frequent use of a new prescription medication that reduces pain topically during treatments without sedation.
