Acne may be most common among teenagers, but this severe skin condition affects adults, too. In fact, more adults than ever are experiencing routine breakouts, which can often be linked to stress, hormonal fluctuations, or genetics. No matter what your age, chronic acne or severe breakouts can result in permanent skin discoloration, scars, and psychological stress.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a method of treatment for hair regrowth. It works by increasing blood supply to the follicle, increasing shaft size (thickness), triggering and maintaining the growth phase, controlling hair growth cycle, and decreasing hair loss. PRP for hair loss is a three step process in which a person's blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp using your body's own platelets.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has the dubious distinction of qualifying as both the most common form of skin cancer and the most common form of any cancer. Skin cancer is responsible for one-third of all new cancer diagnoses in the United States, and BCC accounts for the majority of those cases.

I have been seeing Dr. Dollani for about a year for my skin issues including acne. I had seen several dermatologists without any result. My skin is fantastic now and I have received compliments on how nice it looks which was a first. The front desk staff member is also very polite and helpful. Highly recommend.

I think the most important thing, between a doctor and her patient is the ability of the patient to communicate what the medical issues he or she is dealing with, but most importantly the doctor listening to those concerns and address them to the best of her ability. Dr. Dollani, in my opinion is a consummate professional with amazing competency in her field as a dermatologist. I always do my due diligence in selecting a medical professional for my medical needs. I know I have selected one of the best in her profession.

Disappointed with the lack of options this dermatologist office provides. Called today to gift my boyfriend a consult and treatment for Christmas. They don't offer that? At first I asked if they offer gift certificates. The answer was no. Then I asked if he could set the consultation, receive a treatment of his choice and I pay for it...the answer was still no. What?! The whole point of wanting to go to a dermatologist and not a typical medspa is to get the recommendations of a doctor, but the process in which you accept patients is asinine. Totally disappointed.

Dr. Dollani is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
After nearly 4 months of going through doctors and dermatologists getting little to no true medical assistance, relief, treatment nor a single correct diagnosis....within 1 visit to Dr. Dollani, she started me on a treatment plan that immediately took away some of the condition. Within another 3 days she was able to correctly diagnosis my exact condition and come up with a treatment plan!
What she did in 3 days, multiple other doctors and dermatologists couldn't do in nearly 4 months! Why? Because she actually cares about the quality of her work, the people

This experience was just perfect from start to finish. The professionalism of the doctor and caring members of his staff made me feel comfortable putting myself in their hands. They were kind and concerned throughout my surgery process and my requests and questions were always considered and answered. They were honest and concerned about giving me my options and very helpful in the decision making process. This would always be my Mohs surgeon of choice.

I've been to a few different dermatologists over the years, this being my second one in Arlington, and Dr. Dollani has gone above and beyond what other dermatologists do. She explained the ingredients in every medication she prescribed and gave me recommended drug store brand products to use. Not only that, she told me which ingredients to look out for in new products I may try that were a sure sign that I should not buy that products. In the age of skin care we live in now it's easy to go onto YouTube and listen to creators give you an overview of what certain skin care ingredients do

Dr. Ronkainen is a fabulous physician. Made me feel very comfortable and at ease despite having my entire body inspected with a fine tooth comb. I had to have a small biopsy performed in the office and it was a painless, easy experience. I have even sent my son to her because I liked her so much. I would highly recommend this doctor.

What an amazing neighborhood friendly dermatologist! I am absolutely thankful for Dr. Damavandy and his wonderful caring team. Dealing with some long standing medical conditions, I am super grateful for Dr. Damavandy's compassionate, detail oriented, innovative, and thoughtful care. He thinks outside of the box and carefully follows up with progress. The expertise in his medicine along with sincerity of bedside manner is often a rarity in this industry. From check in to check out, I was amazed with the entire team. This is definitely a dermatology gem in the northern Virginia district

I've come here a handful times and have met with Dr. Damavandy each time.
My experience has been nothing short of excellent each and every time. The facility is clean and quiet. The front desk staff is friendly both over the phone and in person. Dr. D has great bedside manner and is patient and takes the time to address any concerns you have. I've never felt rushed. I've never waited for longer than 15 minutes from my appointment time. Also, there is bottled water and snacks available for grabs in the waiting room.
A bonus for me personally was that I've had to bring my

I've been going to Dr. Walia to treat my rosacea and believe she is the premier medical professional for this condition as well as offering the latest gold standard V-Beam laser technology (far more effective than anything I've had previously at other dermatologist offices - ie. they've regularly offered the more common IPL treatment which barely did anything and also Retin-A, both of which made my skin more sensitive/redder particularly in the sun thus leading to new skin discoloration/damage). In addition to the V Beam laser which has made my rosacea disappear, she has me on a

About 10 years ago my primary care physician recommended I see a dermatologist on a regular basis as I had significant sun exposure over the years; particular during childhood. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Walia, who I have been seeing on a regular basis since then. She conducts a full body exam twice a year and has identified one skin cancer and several pre-cancers. She is very professional, thorough and caring and she patiently listens to my concerns. I have confidence that Dr. Walia will keep my skin in good health for years to come.

I saw Dr. Walia for my first time for a full body scan and other specific concerns today. She was thorough, kind and measured in her approach. I am pretty anxious about most doctors appointments but she was amazing. The office is beautiful and they are seamless is gathering information. Will definitely make this practice and Dr. Walia my go to dermatologist.

I've been going to see Dr. Walia for several years now and can't even begin to put into words what she has done for me and my self confidence. I've struggled with acne since I was 13, and, after going to multiple dermatologists in the NoVa/DC area and feeling like no one could actually help me long-term, I FINALLY found Dr. Walia. She was the only dermatologist (I must have seen at least 5 before her) that was able to control my acne for more than a few weeks/months at a time, and my face has significantly improved over the last few years. Dr. Walia has been so patient and supportive

Our family's experience with Dr. Damavandy was above exceptional. My husband called to make an appointment for our infant daughter because of a skin condition and during our appointment we were pleasantly greeted by the staff and by Dr. Damavandy.
Dr. Damavandy was very informed as to what our daughter had. He then advised us that we would need to see specialist Dr. Silverman. We had explained to him that our pediatrician had recommended the same doctor but there was a 2 month waiting period to see the specialist. Dr. Damavandy was quick to make a few calls and got us an appointment with

Top-notch, fabulous new practice in McLean. They take insurance -- now THAT is a first inside the Beltway!
Dr. Damavandy is so kind and had an excellent "bedside manner" -- good communication, he gave me choices, and we decided what I needed to do. Results have been good for my sun spots and red capillary areas.

My favorite doctor/dermatologist, Sunny Walia, joined this amazing new practice, District Dermatology. I have an ongoing battle with skin cancers -- the things seem to appear overnight. Dr. Walia is vigilant in screening, diagnosing and removing the cancers. She is knowledgeable and caring and will do whatever it takes to keep the cancers under control. In the past she has saved my life by diagnosing two melanomas. Please forgive the drama, but I wouldn't be writing this if she hadn't found them. The staff at District Dermatology are superb. They are truly friendly and professional
