General Practitioners

Cryotherapy
Depending on the types of lesions present, a variety of techniques may be used, including shaving, light electrocoagulation (burning), cryotherapy (freezing) and laser.
Primary Care
Please avoid usage of aspirin or non-steroidal inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen, naproxen), Vitamin E or fish oil supplements for at least one week before treatment to avoid unnecessary bruising if it is deemed safe by your primary care doctor.

Internal Medicine
Following medical school, Dr. Shim traveled around the country to obtain excellent training. Her internship was completed at the University of Washington-Seattle, where she received a solid base in internal medicine. She then completed her dermatology residency at the world-renowned program at New York University, where she served as chief resident. Dr. Shim completed a fellowship in Mohs surgery and cosmetic dermatologic surgery at the Skin and Cosmetic Center at Scripps Clinic, La Jolla under Dr. Hubert T. Greenway. There, she spent extra time refining skills in skin cancer and reconstructive surgery, pathology, lasers (with Dr. E. Victor Ross and Dr. Greenway), liposuction, Botox and sclerotherapy.

Wound Care
Once the cancer is removed, the next goal is the best cosmetic outcome. All surgeries are at risk of scarring. Nonetheless, we have a great deal of experience with wounds big and small in all locations. We will recommend the best options. Some wounds can heal naturally with proper wound care for 6 weeks. Some wounds will have a side-to-side closure, a skin graft (taking skin from another part of the body) or a skin flap (making incisions adjacent to the wound and sliding skin into the wound).
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery has the advantage of finding out the results the same day, rather than facing the risk of having to go back to take more tissue later if the cancer was not completely removed. For this reason, it is considered to be a tissue-sparing technique, only removing the cancer and sparing normal skin, leading to the smallest wound possible.
Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic (Allergan) injections treat forehead, brow and crow's feet wrinkles and vertical lines of the neck. BOTOX® works by inhibiting involuntary muscle contraction, which worsens these wrinkles. Patients with excessive sweating can see a significant temporary reduction of their condition due to an inhibition of sweat gland secretions.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a safe, effective treatment for patients with mild excessive fat of the neck, arms, stomach, back, male chest, thighs and buttocks. Dr. Shim has specialized fellowship training in liposuction.
Plastic Surgery
We are often asked if we are plastic surgeons; we are not. As dermatologic surgeons, we have expertise in reconstructive plastic surgery techniques and have extensive experience as fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons. Less than 2% of wounds are referred out for reconstruction. We work with colleagues in plastic, head and neck, and oculoplastic surgery, and you may request this if so desired.
Face Lift
Some patients require only minimal surgery to obtain improvement of sagging jowls and cheeks. Patients with mild to moderate sagging are ideal candidates for a mini-facelift.
Laser Resurfacing
One of the greatest breakthroughs in laser surgery in the last 15 years, fractionated carbon dioxide lasers treat these conditions with faster healing times. Dr. Shim has had a great deal of experience in traditional carbon dioxide full-face laser resurfacing and is very pleased to offer these treatments in the Santa Monica office.

Cosmetic Dermatology
Welcome to the office of Dr. Elisabeth K. Shim, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon in the Los Angeles area with offices in Santa Monica and Pasadena. Dr. Shim specializes in skin cancer surgery (Mohs surgery), skin cancer screening and cosmetic dermatology, including lasers, BOTOX® Cosmetic, wrinkle fillers such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, removal of cysts, and more.
Skin Cancer
Our philosophy is to provide you with excellent care in a friendly, low-key environment. We believe good skin health begins with healthy living, a simple routine and screening for skin cancer. Cosmetically, Dr. Shim strives to achieve natural beauty through a gentle, conservative approach, gives honest advice and tailors your options to fit your needs and budget.
Dermatology
Dr. Shim is an Assistant Clinical Professor in Dermatology at the Keck USC School of Medicine. Every year, she teaches skin cancer reconstruction to doctors from all over the world at a course held at UC San Diego. Dr. Shim is the Associate Director of Dr. Richard Bennett's Mohs surgery fellowship. She also lectures to the USC dermatology residents on reconstruction and lasers.
Acne Treatment
Cyst
Lesions
Dr. Shim has much experience removing a variety of skin lesions, both large and small. These include, but are not limited to: moles, skin tags, cysts, lipomas, seborrheic keratoses, sebaceous hyperplasia, milia and syringomas.
Chemical Peels
Skin Care
Dr. Shim created Verdure Botanoceuticals, a skin care product line that is the first dermatologist-developed line using effective natural ingredients to address the needs of aging and acne-prone skin. Verdure® is formulated for sensitive skin and is paraben- and propylene glycol-free.
Microdermabrasion
Other considerations for skin care include glycolic acid peels, microdermabrasion and Retin-A or Renova® cream. Dr. Shim can discuss the best options for you.
