AziMD Skincare is where nature meets science, and beauty greets medicine.
Dr. Shirazi wanted to bring her 18 years of practice and 25 years of medical training to a large number of people who may not have access to a dermatologist. She aspires to help people regain confidence and feel their best!
Our Mission: Simplicity & Science
More often than not, her patients were spending hundreds of dollars on what they believed to be the next "miracle products," but the products lacked efficacy or were wrong for the patient's skin type. In an effort to help her patients achieve their skin goals, AziMD was developed to offer Dr. Shirazi's patients a medical-grade skincare line whose efficacy was based on clinical trials, science and research.
A common issue with many skincare products on the market today is the addition of parabens, preservatives, dyes, fragrances and other harsh chemicals that can cause the development of sensitivity in any skin type.
AziMD Skincare formulations are made with the lowest levels of preservatives, sulfate free, gluten free, paraben free, dye and fragrance free. These products are built on layered systems of the highest quality, pharmaceutical grade ingredients to produce real results.
Dr. Shirazi believes in simplicity and science. Very rarely will she suggest starting off with more than three steps to your skincare routine. Using too many product exposes your skin to too many ingredients, causing it to form a memory leading to sensitization with a higher chance of complications, skin irritation or rash.

"These are medical grade skincare products that are steeped in science, are comprehensive and good for your skin. Using medical-grade skincare, you'll see a long term improvement in your skin. Products that achieve multiple goals are important to me - I don’t like having 10 products to achieve what three products could achieve. Remember: your skin is not a switch- commit to being consistent in your 3 month program to see real results."
