ABOUT

Daniel Belkin, M.D., is a board-certified dermatologist who is fellowship-trained in cosmetic dermatology, laser surgery, and Mohs micrographic surgery. He is a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University. 

After graduating magna cum laude from Amherst College, he received his medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College. As part of his training, he did a research fellowship at the Rockefeller University where he studied non-melanoma skin cancer. He graduated with both honors in service as well as honors in research, and he received multiple awards including the Dean’s Research Award. He subsequently trained in dermatology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he helped create the educational program in dermatologic surgery. He also received extensive training in medical, surgical, and pediatric dermatology at the Los Angeles County Medical Center, Keck Hospital of USC, and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. He went on to complete a prestigious fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery and reconstructive surgery, laser surgery, and cosmetic dermatology under the direction of Roy G. Geronemus, M.D. at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York.  

Every dermatologist has access to the same products and treatments, but it takes a true artist, with skill and empathy, to create beautiful, natural-looking results.

He has authored several textbook chapters on dermatologic surgery and multiple original articles, which have appeared in journals such as the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, JAMA Dermatology, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Subjects include high risk skin cancer, lasers for disorders of pigmentation, laser resurfacing, and aesthetic treatments for men.  He is a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery, and he is a member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the American College of Mohs Surgery.

What patients say about

Dr. Daniel Belkin

Danielle D.

I recently had my first Ultherapy treatment with Dr. Daniel Belkin at Laser & Skin Surgery Center in Manhattan and could not be happier with my experience. Dr. Belkin made me feel so welcome and comfortable – he was truly amazing! I got Ultherapy around my chin and jawline and within just a few weeks, I can already notice that my skin in those areas feels and looks tighter. I look refreshed! I have heard that some people experience pain during the treatment but I did not feel any pain or discomfort when treated by Dr. Belkin…

I came to see Dr. Belkin after he was a first time client of mine(I’m a hairstylist in the east village), and in passing conversation, I mentioned to him how self-conscious I was of my lips(or lack thereof). I actually was unaware that dermatologists performed lip injections, so when he suggested I come in for an assessment, I couldn’t get there fast enough! The office was clean, running always on time, and the staff was wonderful to be around. I forgot I was even in a medical office, I felt so comfortable. Dr. Belkin’s bedside manner was exactly what I had hoped for and more. He was kind, down to earth, and extremely informed and honest…
