WHO IS JOYFUL?

Joyful Dermatology was founded by Dr. Alaleh Akhavan, a board-certified dermatologist and a Westchester native who is bringing her approachable style of dermatology from Manhattan back to her hometown. 

“I help my patients navigate the unnecessarily complicated world of skincare and dermatology services, to experience what will truly make them look and feel their best for years to come.”

Dr. Alaleh Akhavan is a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Joyful Dermatology, a practice dedicated to simplifying skincare and empowering folks to rise above the overwhelming noise of traditional beauty marketing. She encourages her patients to embrace a minimalist, self-affirming approach to taking care of their skin—one that promotes confidence, clarity, and a return to what truly matters.

Beyond dermatology, Dr. Akhavan is deeply invested in personal growth and spiritual well-being. She believes lasting beauty and vitality come from living a life that reflects one’s core values, and she helps women cultivate authenticity, set healthy boundaries, and live with intention.

With her direct yet compassionate style, Dr. Akhavan guides women through the process of reclaiming their time, energy, and emotional freedom. Drawing from her own experiences in personal development, professional work, and her love for exploring diverse perspectives, she shares practical wisdom that helps others live more fulfilling lives.
