Dr. Lisa Ginn

Lisa R. Ginn, MD is one of a handful of African American board-certified dermatologists and fellowship-trained cosmetic laser surgeons in the country.  Dr. Ginn offers a unique perspective to the field of cosmetic dermatology as she has completed extensive work and training in medical dermatology and the cosmetic industry.  She received her M.D. from University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.   Upon graduation from medical school, she was awarded a prestigious post-doctorate clinical research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health and worked within the NIH to increase the presence of women and minorities in the field of clinical research.  While performing her fellowship, she simultaneously obtained her license as a medical esthetician in order to truly learn the art of skin care.  After completing her dermatology residency, she went on to complete a two-year laser surgery and cosmetic fellowship.

Dr. Ginn takes great pride and pleasure in continuing to expand her clinical, research, education and business acumen. She holds the prestigious honor of co-authoring the “Laser Treatments” chapter in Dermatology for Skin of Color.  This textbook is one of the few clinical dermatology reference textbooks dedicated to skin of color in publication and serves as a valuable medical reference for Dr. Ginn’s peers and physicians around the world.  She serves on medical expert advisory boards for L’Oreal device evaluation and skincare products programs and was named as one of the original panel members for Allure Beauty Finder.  In 2017 Dr. Ginn was selected as a Guidepoint Global Advisor and tasked with consulting with Guidepoints’ national and international clientele to provide clinical expertise on a vast array of both medical and cosmetic dermatology topics and studies. In 2016 she was chosen as a member of the expert panel for Skincare.com, and in 2015, she was recognized for her expertise by Essence with the Best in Black Beauty Award.
