Dr. Faranak Kamangar, MD, Palo Alto, CA

About Dr. Faranak Kamangar

For the past ten years, I have had the privilege of serving the Palo Alto community as a medical and aesthetic dermatologist at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, where I also served as Chair of the Department of Dermatology. I completed my residency at UC Davis and a fellowship in complex inflammatory skin disease at UCSF. Over the years, I have served on the Board of the American Academy of Dermatology, chaired the San Francisco Dermatological Society, and spoken nationally and globally on medical dermatology, laser technologies, and skin health. My new practice goes beyond the skin, integrating precision therapies, advanced laser technology, and the emerging science connecting skin disease to metabolic and systemic health. I am moving into private practice so I can offer these innovations more directly, with the depth of attention each patient deserves. Please note that this is an out-of-network, cash-pay practice. Patients are responsible for payment at the time of service.
