Samireh Z. Said, MD

Looking youthful is a priority for most people. The truth is, nothing gives away your age faster than the appearance of your skin. To achieve and maintain a healthy, youthful and vibrant complexion, your skin deserves the care of a board certified dermatologist. Did you know your skin is the largest organ in your body?

Beautiful healthy skin doesn’t just happen. Lifestyle, heredity and aging are contributing factors that even the best at¬home treatments won’t fix. If you are troubled by stubborn acne or acne scars, wrinkles, sun damage, premature aging, rosacea, or skin cancer, Dr. Said can help. For over a decade, Dr. Said has been helping her patients achieve beautiful radiant complexions and total skin health.

Dr. Said is passionate about the field of dermatology and has dedicated her practice to the care and treatment of all kinds of skin conditions. She has a unique level of compassion for those who feel frustrated or embarrassed about the appearance of their skin; and, her advanced training in everything from the latest lasers and chemical peels, to Botox and the newest injectables means you can feel confident that you are receiving the best possible skin care.

Dr, Said’s educationsaid_highlights_r2_c2al background includes such prestigious universities as UCI and Yale. Dr. Said practiced in Orange County prior to accepting a teaching position at UCI. Later, Dr. Said served as the Director of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology at UC San Diego/VA San Diego. Today, in her private practice, Dr. Said provides individualized care for every imaginable skin concern, including skin cancer surgery, cosmetic dermatology, sclerotherapy, skin tightening laser, peels, laser hair removal, hyperhidrosis, rosacea, eczema, acne, and pediatric dermatology. Dr. Said has vast experience using leadingedge FDA-approved technologies and treatments, including the Fraxel, VBeam, and Gentle Yag Lasers.

Dr. Said was fellowship trained in Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology for the treatment of skin cancer, and is highly skilled in early detection skin cancer. Raised in Orange County since the age of 10, Dr. Said notes that the Southern California lifestyle and its abundant sunshine put local residents at an especially high¬risk category for premature aging and skin cancer. Having two kids of her own and lots of nieces and nephews, she sees how much sun they are exposed to.

“We need better sun protection in our schools and need to get the coaches and administrators involved to avoid children’s sports activities in the middle of the day without sun protective shirts and sunscreen, and provide better shading in the schools. Early detection is the key when it comes to treatment,” Dr. Said states. “The sooner you find it, the higher the cure rate and the smaller the scar. I have treated skin cancer in patients as young as 9 years and atypical moles in even younger children. I am also seeing skin cancers in all skin types and in all body locations. That is why it’s critical to see a dermatologist annually.”

Dr. Said’s practice emphasizes the most leading¬edge procedures and practice protocols, including Botox for hyperhidrosis, photodynamic therapy for actinic keratoses, Enbrel for Psoriasis, newer fillers like Juvederm and Radiesse, new lasers and creams for rosacea and acne, and new antioxidant creams to prevent photoaging.

Dr. Said has many published articles to her credit, including research findings on the topics of lasers, Botox, methotrexate, and Restylane. She is now writing a monthly editorial column for the OCPC magazine. While Dr. Said performs a complete host of anti-aging cosmetic treatments, she says she most enjoys treating medical conditions and helping the skin heal. “The ability to enhance the appearance and health of someone’s skin is extremely rewarding. Each of my patients receives the utmost personalized attention – my goal is to treat each person as if they are part of my extended family.”
