Known for her subtle hand with fillers, injections, and lasers, Shereene Idriss, M.D., has finally set up her own shop in midtown Manhattan.
Emily Ratajkowski’s Dermatologist, Shereene Idriss, Opens a Feel-Good Space in New York
It’s fair to say that Dr. Shereene Idriss’s patients—Emily Ratajkowski, Ashley Graham, and Paloma Elsesser chief among them—would follow her anywhere. But that didn’t stop the 39-year-old board-certified dermatologist, who’s known for a subtle sleight of hand with fillers, injections, and lasers, from going the extra mile with her first namesake office, which she lovingly refers to as “the apartment.” “Cosmetics is very intimidating; I just wanted people to feel at home,” Idriss explains, as she greets me at the door in a pair of knee-high combat boots and a rainbow-bright Roxanne Assoulin bracelet whose tiles spell out HAPPY.
Overlooking Bryant Park, the Midtown Manhattan space, which she ultimately landed on after touring some 40 buildings, is decked out with feel-good touches: an olive tree (a trace of her Lebanese roots) stands front and center; jars of color-coded gum balls are on offer for anyone in need of a pre- or post-treatment sugar fix; playful Gray Malin prints and paintings done by Idriss herself line the walls. The shelves of the inviting waiting room, meanwhile, host art books, skin-care heroes from La Roche-Posay and Jordan Samuel (and eventually Idriss’s own forthcoming line), and, most notably, a handful of custom-made gifts from a number of her devoted 366,000-plus followers, who tune in for her weekly Instagram Live series, #PillowTalkDerm. “Even my family’s not this thoughtful!” she says with a laugh.
