Robert Langdon, M.D.

Dr. Langdon, a graduate of the University of Oregon Medical School, completed his residency in dermatology at Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1984. He was certified by the American Board of Dermatology in 1984, and was a member of the full-time faculty of Yale University School of Medicine, in the Department of Dermatology, from 1984 to 1990. At Yale, Dr. Langdon conducted clinical research on advanced surgical techniques.

With colleagues in Plastic Surgery he developed a novel skin grafting method that has been adopted around the world. This method was first described in the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet.

In 1990, Dr. Langdon left Yale to pursue more intensive clinical training at the Laser and Dermatology Institute of California, in Los Angeles. There he learned advanced laser surgery techniques using the carbon dioxide and pulsed dye lasers. He also refined his surgical skills for the treatment of skin cancers and cosmetic problems.

Dr. Langdon is the author of over 40 scientific publications including a chapter on wound healing in a major textbook of dermatology. He has also written several chapters in recent textbooks on skin surgery on advanced facial cosmetic surgeries including minimal incision face lift, endoscopic brow lift and blepharoplasty. He is also the author of the recent book for patients "Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery" (2004).
