Meet Dr. Kest
A Trusted Dermatologist - Beverly Hills, West Hollywood & Los Angeles
Dr. Kest’s office is different than some might expect for a Beverly Hills dermatologist. The ambiance is exquisite, yet calm and inviting, which was the result of considerable planning and effort. The office offers a spectacular panoramic view of Beverly Hills. The pristine treatment rooms are bathed in ethereal, natural light. His eye for beauty and attention to detail are apparent, and are why Dr. Kest is the dermatologist Beverly Hills and Los Angeles patients seek out to help them achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin. He explains, “We focus on making things as painless and comfortable as possible for our patients.”
Dr. Kest graduated from the Chicago Medical School and completed his dermatology residency at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan. He continued his academic involvement, teaching dermatology and surgery at Beth Israel Medical Center and the Mount Sinai Medical Center. Prior to relocating to Los Angeles, he maintained a thriving private practice on Manhattan’s prestigious Park Avenue.
As a highly respected Beverly Hills dermatologist, Dr. Kest says, “My aesthetic philosophy is simple. Everything we do should look very, very natural. I’m not looking to change the way someone looks, but I am interested in helping to make him or her look and feel more youthful. My goal is to enhance the natural beauty you already have when you walk into the office.”
He continues, “Often, our patients go out the same evening as their procedure without people guessing what they might have had done. Their friends saying, ‘Oh, you look well rested. You look better. What is it that’s different about you?’” Dr. Kest’s focus on getting natural-looking results with minimal downtime is what makes him the dermatologist Beverly Hills and Los Angeles patients trust.
Dr. Kest has a conservative approach to the treatments offered. He devotes considerable time and effort to selecting only the highest quality, state of the art lasers and procedures. He offers only procedures with the highest efficacy. His commitment to quality care makes Dr. Kest the dermatologist West Hollywood patients flock to when they want safe, effective solutions to make their skin look radiant and healthy.
As the dermatologist West Hollywood and Los Angeles patients turn to for innovative solutions to their skin care needs, Dr. Kest is also the co-founder and developer of two leading skin care systems: Brave Soldier, a line for athletes who are continually exposed to the rigors of the environment; and Ayurmedic, a system marrying the technologies of holistic principles with the latest findings in dermatologic formulations.
