After many years of thinking if I should (and can) do something about my acne scars, I found the Scar Healing Institute on google, i read the reviews and decided to for consultation, I was told that the consultation is $380 and I agreed, I asked how much this adventure is going to cost me (roughly) and the guy said between 3 to 5k and I decided to go for it.
When I met DR Hazany he was very nice and confident that he could really make a difference in my scaring condition, the only thing, it’s going to require 5 sessions and he absolutely can’t do it for less then $15000..
After all those years of thinking about it and the confidence of DR Hazany thought I wouldn’t forgive my self if I wouldn’t try ( even though it was a little over my budget)
So..the first two sessions was Those vile injections, and they paid $980 to test which chemical my skin reacts best to.
When I came to the third session that was supposed to be the chemical peeling, the doctor told me that my skin doesn’t react to the chemical and we don’t need it and we should proceed to the subcision.
I told him that if I paid almost $1000 to test which chemical is going to use and he’s not gonna use any of them. Why did I pay the money, he said he’s gonna refund me for that. Never did
Another treatment that was supposed to take place was laser , I called about five weeks after the subscission to schedule the laser treatment, I was told that it’s too early and we need to wait at least two months after the big procedure, and they will call me to schedule that. Never did.
I would also add, I have a bump on the left of my face that is still there..and 30% of my face is still numb..
If I would be able to go back in time, I would never go to through all of that, the change is not significant, it was very expensive, and definitely don’t worth the downtime and the pain.
This edit comes because it doesn’t let me reply back, you can say whatever you want about aggressive behavior (why did you continue the treatment if I was “aggressive “?)
The only reason I bargained for the price is because I was told it’s gonna be between &3000 and $5000 and You asked for 15k
Your comment also doesn’t refer to your promise To refound the money for the chemical exam that you never did
Your comment also doesn’t refer that you stopped After 3 treatments , we agreed upon five.
I’m just letting the people here Know that you Don’t operate in good faith and you’re taking advantage of them.

I had bumps on the back of my neck and they would hurt every time I would go to the barber. It became a little bit annoying because sometimes it would bleed on my pillow. I couldn’t find the answer anywhere until I found scar healing Institute! on the first visit they were able to immediately diagnose me and treated me. They also gave me some prescriptions to prevent it from coming back in the future and some lifestyle modifications (change my barber) and it worked!

I ruptured my Achilles and had to get surgery. Left a nasty scar but the team at SHI was able to fix it right up! Forever grateful that I entrusted them with my care. Make the appointment and you won't regret it!

I fell and injured both my knees because I'm disabled and my orthopedic surgeon injected me with cortisone and da.aged my skin. They diagnosed and treated me in one visit and I am almost back to normal. They are experts at scars of all types!

I drove all the way down from Bakersfield multiple times to have treatment here and I am so happy that I did. The doctors and staff were very friendly and they were kind enough to come up with a new treatment called ultrasound guided subcision to remove a tethered scar on my cheek. If I could give 200 stars I would. Look at the photo, it speaks for itself.

I called to get my acne scars treated and was initially concerned that they insisted I have a virtual consultion before going to see them in person. The person who I spoke to on the video call was excellent, he cleared up some of the questions i had after doing my own research and was able to answer all my questions. In the end I'm glad they made me do the virtual cuz it was a lot of information and I'm not sure I would have been comfortable undergoing treatment without having time to process it all. I'm halfway through my treatment plan now and have seen very good results and I'm excited for my upcoming subcision appointment. All in all the team is great and they treated me really well.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I suffered for my entire youth with acne scars and tried multiple other local board certified dermatologists who wasted my time and money for years with ineffective treatments: prp, micro needling, lasers, fillers just to mention a few. after speaking to a friend who was treated with the SHI 5 step “phase out” system at this institute, I finally got my face back! The entire staff is so professional and accommodating for my busy work schedule. They were very gentle and always took time to explain everything. I owe getting my life back to them. I’m in a relationship now for the first time in years all thanks to SHI!!!

After a long, hard year of being on Accutane and having severe nodulocystic acne, I was left with scarring all over my cheeks. I was so hopeful that Dr. Hazany was going to help with my scarring, but he ended up making it so much worse and treating me so poorly throughout the painful process.
I met Dr. Hazany at my subsicion and sculptra appointment, where he became upset because I had stated that I felt like I had 10% improvement from the phenol cross. He made comments like "Your energy is just so negative" and "we might just have to cancel your appointment," etc. I started crying because of his sudden hostility. He handed me a mirror to watch the procedure. As I was crying, I saw blood running down my face, and I overheard him saying, "This will make you more positive." I was sobbing and asked him to stop the procedure because I felt so uncomfortable, but he continued. This was the first red flag I wish I would've listened to.
Despite this awful incidence, Dr. Hazany's glimmering reviews and before and afters had me convinced that he could deliver the long-lasting results I was hoping for. So I called the office to continue with the Taylor Liberator surgery. I regret this with my whole life. Because of the surgery, I have experienced the following complications: droopy skin, a deep nasolabial fold, loose skin, loss of definition in my smile, constant stiffness in the right side of my face, as well as the formation of a deep linear line. He went very deep on the right side of my face, and now my skin has lost all its grip. Nothing is keeping it suspended or deeply attached to the base of my face. Because of this, all my skin is gathering at my smile line, making me look so much older! I seriously didn't understand what I was getting into with this surgery. Please be aware that you're cutting through your nerve endings, tampering w the fat that contours your face, and potentially cutting your retaining ligaments that keep your skin securely attached to your muscle (SMAS) layer in your face. My scars were shallow, and I had little to no sculptra on the right side of my face, so all the deep tissue he was releasing must have been my own connective attachments (ligaments, fascia), keeping my skin tightly bound to my face. Please know that you have very important attachments in your face that run the risk of being cut through this surgery :( Nobody told me that. Also, the more sculptra they add, the puffier your smile looks. Healing from the surgery took about a full year.
On top of this, Sarah injected the majority of half a vial of sculptra after the surgery in the wrong area of my face, which has grown over the months since then and has literally destroyed my spirit because my scars now look thicker and more prominent than they ever were before. For pricing I was charged $1000 for half a vial of sculptra.
I have been struggling to work and have kept my face under a mask since then. I am in so much emotional pain because of how negligent this office was with my particular case. I really hope Dr. Hazany can improve on his standard of care and play a greater role in his patients's treatment plans so that mistakes like this don't occur right under his nose. He failed to assess me at the majority of my appointments, which made it easier for me to have complications. At one point, only a set of medical assistants were evaluating me prior to treatments.
I was so scared and couldn't understand what was happening to my face, so I set up a follow-up. The office canceled it indefinitely and has not allowed me to be seen since. My primary care provider assessed the damage and has referred me to a plastic surgeon for puffiness, and asymmetry.
I think Dr. Hazany is capable of great work, but unfortunately, he did not add any care to my case. A round of HA fillers knocked out my scars with a local derm, which made me realize that all of this collateral damage o

Dr. Hazany and his whole staff make you feel very comfortable as soon as you step in the office. He does a perfect balancing act of professionalism and efficiency all while being easy going and friendly. I am now a lifelong patient of his and will contact him for any of my dermatology needs. Thanks!

Sanam is a true miracle worker! After being hit by a car and needing almost a dozen stitches above my lip, I was incredibly anxious about my recovery. From the moment I met Sanam, all my worries disappeared.
Despite having an injection in my lip that initially showed no changes 4-6 weeks post-procedure, Sanam’s expertise was a game-changer. The large bumps and scars inside my mouth felt daunting, but Sanam, with her angelic touch, reassured me. Fast forward to 4 months later, and my scars and bumps are completely healed! I’m beyond grateful!
Although I was hesitant at first because they don’t accept insurance, none of the other dermatologists could help. Paying out of pocket was worth every penny for the exceptional care I received.
Knowing I have such an extraordinary physician’s assistant like Sanam gives me immense peace of mind. I can trust her entirely with my health concerns and feel confident in recommending her to anyone in need of top-notch medical care!

I’ve had keloids on my shoulders since I was a young person and I’ve never had success in treating them at multiple different doctors offices. After having a consultation, I am very hopeful that things will be different this time. The staff is very friendly and the location is excellent. Booking an appointment was quite easy and I got in soon after I requested an appointment. I am looking forward to sharing my results soon! so far the keloids are flat and remain flat after 5 months!
