Welcome to the West Institute

Chevy Chase, MD & Aspen, CO

What does it take to achieve the most natural “untouched” result that ensures you will look refreshed but not “done?”… the answer is training, experience and expertise. Board-certified Chevy Chase dermatologist Dr. Tina West looked to the best in the field for training and has never stopped training during her 2 decades of practice. Advances in non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures continue to prove that prevention and maintenance are the cornerstones of looking refreshed and natural over time, and often preclude the need for surgery. Dr. West is available to see patients in Chevy Chase, MD as well as in Aspen, CO.   Let us help you plan your maintenance now to continue looking your natural best.

I recently had Laser Coring done on my neck. Dr. West did an amazing job on the procedure! She is masterful at using her high level skills to meet the expectations of her patients. I am beyond pleased with the results! It has only been three weeks and I am already healed and looking younger, with a tighter looking neck. Dr. West understands the medical science behind cosmetic procedures. I wouldn’t go anywhere else but The West Institute for my cosmetic and dermatological care.

I always have a great experience with Dr. West. Her staff makes me feel welcome and comfortable, and Dr. West takes time at every visit to listen to my concerns and provide thoughtful recommendations tailored to my skin type. I’m a return customer for Botox injections; Dr. West is a very skilled injector and the results are exactly what I’m looking for. I also tried her skincare line, and am obsessed with her sunscreen!
