Dr. Chapas is the Founder and Medical Director of Union Square Laser Dermatology, a state-of-the-art center for medical and cosmetic skin treatments. Dr. Chapas is an internationally known laser and dermatological surgeon, certified by the American Board of Dermatology and a Fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery, the American Academy of Dermatology, the American College of Mohs Surgery and the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery. She is also an Assistant Clinical Professor at New York University School of Medicine where she directs the senior dermatological surgery clinic and actively supervises the training of medical residents in dermatological surgery.
ELLE magazine recognized Dr. Chapas in 2011 as one of 13 “beauty geniuses†for her state-of-the-art use of lasers and energy devices to resurface and tighten skin, and again in 2014 for her use of energy devices for body shaping tune-ups below the neck.
Dr. Chapas is also acclaimed for her use of combinations of injectable treatments such as botox and fillers to achieve great results without a look that reveals that cosmetic work was done, and has frequently demonstrated such injectable treatments live on national TV. In the January 2013 issue, Good Housekeeping judged Dr. Chapas' “Ultimate Botox†best in a “wrinkle eraser†runoff by New York dermatologists.
Dr. Chapas graduated magna cum laude in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania and earned an M.D. with honors from Harvard Medical School.
