PHI offers the wellness and cellular-health side of skin care, not cosmetic injectables, fillers, or lasers. At PHI in Beverly Hills, board-certified physicians Dr. Faisal Lalani and Dr. Nadiv Samimi offer red light therapy, IV therapy, and peptide therapy that support skin from within, alongside your dermatologist or aesthetic provider.
What This Page Is and Isn’t
Before getting into specifics, we want to be clear about PHI’s role in skin care. What PHI offers is the medical wellness side of skin health: red light therapy, IV nutrient protocols, and peptide therapy that may support skin from a cellular and tissue health perspective.
What PHI does not offer is cosmetic injectables for aesthetic indications (wrinkle reduction with neurotoxin), dermal fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, or other aesthetic procedures. These are dermatology and medical aesthetics services, typically provided by dermatologists, board-certified plastic surgeons, or specialized aesthetic practices. If you are looking for comprehensive aesthetic treatment, this page will be honest that PHI is not the primary provider you need, and we will explain what we do offer and how it may complement your existing aesthetic care.
What Skin Health Actually Involves
Skin aging has multiple components, and effective skin care typically addresses several of them: collagen and structural integrity, barrier function and hydration, inflammation regulation, oxidative stress, hormonal contributors, lifestyle factors, and skin-specific care through topical products and dermatological treatment.
PHI’s offerings address some of these, including cellular function, inflammation, nutrient status, and certain hormone-related signaling. They do not replace dermatological care or comprehensive aesthetic treatment.
What PHI Offers for Skin Health
Red light therapy delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that may support skin health through several mechanisms; evidence for skin applications is among the most established uses of red light therapy, including collagen stimulation and skin firmness, modest reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone and texture improvements, and photoaging. It is non-invasive, well-tolerated, and can be used regularly.
IV therapy with specific nutrient formulations may support skin from inside; common skin-focused protocols include high-dose vitamin C (which supports collagen production and provides antioxidant effects), glutathione, B-complex vitamins, and zinc. Peptide therapy uses specific compounds, some of which may support skin health, discussed individually without listing specific peptides publicly. These are delivered in our clinic setting, and they work best as part of comprehensive skin care that includes your dermatologist or aesthetic provider.
When This Page Applies to You
You may benefit from PHI’s offerings if you are looking for the wellness and cellular-health side of skin care alongside dermatological or aesthetic treatment, if you want to support skin from inside through nutrient and cellular interventions, if you are pursuing comprehensive longevity care that includes skin, or if you want post-procedure recovery support for procedures done elsewhere.
You are typically better served elsewhere first if you are looking for cosmetic injectables, fillers, lasers, chemical peels, or microneedling, or if you have specific dermatological concerns such as acne requiring medical management, suspicious lesions, or conditions like eczema or rosacea requiring treatment. For comprehensive aesthetic care, established Beverly Hills resources include dermatology practices, board-certified plastic surgeons, and specialty medical aesthetic practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
PHI does therapeutic neurotoxin for medical conditions such as chronic migraine and TMJ pain. We do not offer aesthetic neurotoxin for wrinkle reduction. For that, work with a dermatologist or medical aesthetics provider.
No. These are dermatology and medical aesthetics services. PHI focuses on the wellness and cellular-health side of skin care, not aesthetic procedures.
Red light therapy has accumulating evidence for skin applications including collagen stimulation, photoaging, and skin texture improvement, with studies demonstrating measurable improvements in fine lines, tone, and firmness with consistent use. Effects develop over weeks to months of regular treatment.
Vitamin C is essential for collagen production and provides antioxidant effects, and IV delivery achieves higher blood levels than oral supplementation. Whether this translates to meaningful clinical skin benefit depends on baseline status and consistency. For patients with documented vitamin C status concerns or specific contexts, IV vitamin C has clearer rationale than for general wellness use.
Glutathione is a major antioxidant with skin-relevant effects, used in some wellness contexts for skin support. Evidence for specific aesthetic claims varies and is mixed. We discuss honestly what evidence supports rather than making aesthetic claims that exceed evidence.
Less effectively than with one. Topical skincare such as sun protection, retinoids when appropriate, antioxidant serums, and appropriate moisturizers provides foundational support that medical wellness interventions complement rather than replace. We coordinate with your dermatology or skincare resources.
Skin changes around menopause are largely hormonally driven. Comprehensive management often involves dermatology for skin-specific care, gynecology or primary care for hormonal aspects, and supportive interventions like those PHI offers. The biggest leverage is typically in hormonal management when appropriate.
Insurance coverage and payment options may vary. Please contact our office to discuss your specific plan, available options, and pricing.
Yes. PHI regularly treats patients from outside Los Angeles, including Las Vegas, Palm Springs, London, and other international locations.
