“The staff and doctor are both excellent. The facility is first class. I would highly recommend to anyone needing skin care. ”
Robert H.March 20, 2023
“My experience with Dr. Paul Wallace and the office visit was surreal. I felt like they cared about me. I honestly felt like a VIP. The doctor gave me a complete tour of the office because it felt like a Studio instead of a doctor's office. Everyone was very personal. My medical issue was diagnosed correctly and provided a written and verbal explanation. I have never given a review like this ever. I am a customer service type of person and always expect good customer service. This is the reason I wrote the review is that I have written reviews for so-so service. It is very refreshing to get this type of treatment on my first visit. ”

About Dr. Paul Wallace
MEET DR. PAUL WALLACE (MD/MPA): Founder and Driving Force Behind
THE WALLACE SKIN AND BODY INSTITUTE (WSBI)
Dr. Paul Wallace earned his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Oklahoma, followed by a Residency in Dermatology and a Fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at King/Drew Medical Center. For more than 25 years, he has built a reputation as an award-winning, innovative practitioner of medical and cosmetic dermatology in Beverly Hills, attracting a loyal A-list clientele and their families. He also dedicates weekly hours to VernBro Dermatology in South Central Los Angeles, serving underserved communities in his native city.
Dr. Wallace is Founder, Medical Director, and Coordinator of Services for the nonprofit Second Chance, which uses government grants and private donations to provide tattoo removal for ex-gang members and the formerly incarcerated, helping them re-enter the workforce without visible stigma. He also serves as Medical Director of Global Medical Rescue, a nonprofit aiding those affected by domestic violence and disasters in the U.S. and abroad. During volunteer work with the internationally acclaimed physician-based “Panda Team” after the 2003 Tsunami in Thailand, he was featured on CNN discussing his role in facial recognition for unidentifiable bodies.
In 2020, Dr. Wallace realized his long-held dream by establishing the Wallace Skin and Body Institute (WSBI), headquartered in a spacious, accessible 5,000+ square-foot facility in Ladera Heights. The institute offers an oasis of top-tier cosmetic dermatology care, conveniently located near the 405 Freeway and La Cienega Boulevard.
As Lead or Co-Investigator in over 180 clinical trials, Dr. Wallace’s honest and insightful reports—especially regarding efficacy on sensitive skin, skin of color, and patients with medical conditions—have been highly valued by major pharmaceutical companies, advancing innovative dermatologic procedures.

The visit basically turned into a sales pitch for his line of skincare products. It was a bit annoying and uncomfortable.
