Karan Lal, DO, MS, is a double-board-certified dermatologist who specializes in adult, pediatric, and cosmetic dermatology.
His impressive educational background serves as a demonstration of his long-time interest and dedication to the field of dermatology. After high school, Dr. Lal completed a seven-year accelerated combined medical program at the New York Institute of Technology where he was then selected to be an academic medical scholar. He went on to receive his Master of Science in neuroscience as well as a scholarship for three years of medical school and graduate training. After completing his internal medicine internship at the University of Connecticut Medical Center, Dr. Lal then went on to do his three-year dermatology residency at the University of Massachusetts, where he later stayed on to complete a pediatric dermatology fellowship.
He holds a special interest in laser surgery, soft tissue filler augmentation, body sculpting, and pigmentary abnormalities of the skin and enjoys treating patients from birth onwards. And as the only dual fellowship-trained cosmetic and pediatric dermatologist in the U.S., he eagerly shares his specialist knowledge with others. He is a well-known, sought-after speaker at various national conferences and events, while also being an active mentor to medical students and residents.
Additionally, Dr. Lal is very active on social media and uses the platform to share insight into the latest trends and treatments and offer specialist tips and tricks to his followers. He is often featured in the media and has been cited in ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Huffington Post, Romper, NBC News, Forbes, and Marie Claire.
We are beyond thrilled that Dr. Lal will be joining us at the upcoming SBS: West Coast Derm meeting in Southern California where he will once again be sharing his deep knowledge in various areas of dermatology.Â
Dr. Lal is an inspirational speaker with a charismatic personality, and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to see him live.
