Anti-aging treatments are best approached in a decade-specific fashion.

Philosophy

Medical director and founder of Dermatology, Laser & Vein Specialists of the Carolinas, Dr. Gilly S. Munavalli is renowned for his work in dermatology, cosmetic dermatology and Mohs micrographic surgery. He also serves as part of a clinical group that partakes in cutting-edge research for dermatologic surgery. At his state-of-the-art practice, he and his talented colleagues, Drs. Payman Kosari and Hayley Leight-Dunn, share a patient-first approach and work to address both their medical and cosmetic needs. “The ability to undergo a medically necessary procedure while also benefiting from acosmetic enhancement is a win-win,” he says. Skin-care professionals at the practice’s on-site cosmeceutical boutique also help to educate patients on the latest anti-aging solutions, including Skin Secrets, Dr. Munavalli’s own line of medical-grade skin care.
