Glynis Ablon, MD — Manhattan Beach Dermatologist & Clinical Researcher
For over two decades, discerning patients across the South Bay have entrusted their skin to Dr. Glynis Ablon, a board-certified Manhattan Beach dermatologist, published clinical researcher, and UCLA faculty member whose practice pairs the authority of academic medicine with a standard of personal care rarely found in a single physician.
Care Led by One of Dermatology’s Own Authorities
Dr. Glynis Ablon is not simply a Manhattan Beach dermatologist. She is an active voice in the field itself. As an Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at UCLA, a clinical researcher, and the author of numerous peer-reviewed studies, she brings the depth of academic medicine to a private, coastal practice. Her expertise has been sought by national media, including Harper’s Bazaar and television, and, more tellingly, by patients who expect their care to be directed by a genuine authority rather than delegated to a rotating staff.
At the Ablon Skin Institute & Research Center, you are seen, and cared for, by Dr. Ablon herself.

Skin, Understood in Its Environment
Life in the South Bay is lived largely in the sun. The same coastal light that defines Manhattan Beach and the Palos Verdes coast is also among the most demanding environments for the skin. Dr. Ablon’s practice is shaped by a nuanced understanding of how this particular climate affects the skin over a lifetime, from the earliest signs of sun damage and pigmentation to long-term skin health and the vigilant prevention of skin cancer. It is dermatology attuned to precisely where her patients live.
A Considered Range of Care
Whether your concern is medical, cosmetic, or simply the pursuit of skin at its healthiest, each is met with the same rigor, discretion, and attention.
