About
Originally from Edmonton in Alberta Canada, Douglas C. Wu, MD, PhD is a double board-certified dermatologist in both Canada and the USA with specialty training in cosmetic surgery via the prestigious American Society of Dermatologic Surgery Fellowship program. Dr. Wu got into medicine so he could help people live healthier and happier lives. He received his PhD in Immunology and Stem Cell Biology from the University of Oxford University. He specializes in wrinkle reduction, volume restoration with injectable fillers, laser rejuvenation, tattoo removal, vein removal, liposculpture, non-invasive body contouring using devices such as CoolSculpting®, and skin tightening. Dr. Wu believes that everyone has a natural beauty to them and his goal is to help them be the best version of themselves.
Dr. Wu has authored numerous medical articles and textbook chapters in both general and aesthetic dermatological literature and has lectured at major conferences across the globe. He was in the Top 15 most published doctors in Dermatologic Surgery, the premiere peer-reviewed medical journal in dermatology. Dr. Wu utilizes cutting-edge techniques to develop uniquely tailored treatments designed to address the specific needs of his patients. Dr. Wu feels like his patients are like family, and he cares very much about every aspect of their experience.
“Dr. Wu utilizes cutting-edge techniques to develop uniquely tailored treatments designed to address the specific needs of his patients.”
In addition to his busy clinical practice, Dr. Wu serves as Director of Research at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, CA, supervising between 20 and 30 ongoing clinical trials at any given time. This work places him at the forefront of discovery and innovation in cosmetic dermatology. These trials have included collaborations with Allergan Inc® (Botox® Cosmetic, Juvéderm®, Voluma® XC), Galderma® (Restylane®, Perlane®, Dysport®), Merz Pharma (Radiesse®, Belotero®, Xeomin®), Ulthera®, Thermage®, CoolSculpting, ThermiRF®, Cynosure®, Syneron®, and many others.
By testing and optimizing new products and devices, Dr. Wu is often amongst the first doctors in the world to gain experience with them. He is therefore often called upon to train other physicians and aesthetic practitioners in the proper techniques and utilization of these products.
