DR. LANA KASHLAN (M.D., FAAD) is an internationally recognized leader in cosmetic dermatology, known for her refined aesthetic approach, cutting-edge techniques, and natural-looking results. Board-certified in dermatology, she completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Northwestern University, graduated with Honors from University of Illinois College of Medicine, and trained at Boston University for her dermatology residency. After several years in private practice in Chicago, Dr. Kashlan was invited to Dubai to lead the dermatology division of a large multispecialty cosmetic clinic. She worked and lived in Dubai for nearly six years where she established a global reputation for delivering advanced skin and laser treatments tailored to each patient’s unique beauty. She has been an international trainer for some of the largest aesthetics brands and an invited speaker and brand ambassador for Dior Beauty, Shiseido, Clinique, and Sephora, and her celebrity patients include the likes of actress Lindsay Lohan and the stars of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Dubai and Netflix’s Dubai Bling. But a Midwestern girl at heart, she decided to move back to Burr Ridge with her husband and raise their two children. In October 2024, she founded Modern Skin Dermatology, a boutique dermatology clinic in Hinsdale that offers the most state-of-the-art cosmetic procedures and laser treatments—all while maintaining her practice in Dubai. Driven by precision, artistry, and a patient-first philosophy, Dr. Kashlan is redefining modern beauty—one face at a time.

What conversations are you passionate about bringing to the table? When you feel good in your skin, you show up differently in the world. I am inspired daily by my patients and helping them feel more confident in their skin.

How do you give back to your community or industry? I am proud to support and be an active member of the Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club, a sponsor for Hinsdale Middle School PTO for whom we organized a tween skin care event in our office, and have served on the board of MedGlobal, a nonprofit organization that provides health care in areas of crisis.

What legacy do you hope to leave behind? I hope to leave behind a legacy of always leaving people and things better than how I found them. As a physician, I have dedicated my life to service and I hope my legacy, both personally and professionally, reflects that.
