Bio

Debra Jaliman, MD, is a world-renowned dermatologist with a private practice on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Internationally recognized for her research and work in clinical and cosmetic dermatology, Jaliman is at the forefront of the latest skin care news, clinical updates, emerging trends, and more.

Jaliman and her trained staff have achieved superb results based on her unique treatment approaches and combination therapies. Jaliman's patient consultations are never cookie-cutter, as she is a perfectionist when it comes to personalized patient care, skin screenings, and treatment. Customized care means better results -- and over the past 25 years, Jaliman's specialized training, clinical experience, and passion for medicine have enabled her to diagnose and treat common and rare skin conditions, diseases, and cancers, saving countless lives.

Her medical expertise is unparalleled, as is her ability to give her patients beautiful, youthful skin. In 1991, she became one of the first doctors to use Botox in her practice, and her office remains a national training center for Allergan, where doctors are guided by Jaliman on proper injection techniques. According to Jaliman, the best Botox results are achieved only when a doctor carefully studies the patient’s facial muscles and structure for precise application. One size does not fit all at Jaliman's office; each patient requires a different approach.

Jaliman has provided dermatological and skin care expertise to several top medical and consumer brands and companies, including Banana Boat, Elizabeth Arden, Noxema, Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, Philips Norelco, Procter & Gamble, SmithKline Beecham, and more. She has also been published in numerous scientific journals and authored the “Skin and Hair” chapter in the book Women's Health for Life. Jaliman has appeared as a leading skin care expert on many TV shows, including 20/20, BBC News, CBS News, CNN, Dateline, FOX News, Discovery Channel, Lifetime, NBC News, Oxygen, Primetime, and more.

As an authoritative source in dermatology, she is frequently quoted in top national print publications, including Allure, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Fitness, Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, Ladies’ Home Journal, Lucky, More, Newsweek, O, The Oprah Magazine, Parents, Prevention, Shape, The New York Times, Vogue, and more.

Dr. Jaliman’s book, Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist, was released by St. Martin’s Press in 2012.
