Finding healthcare in a new country can be intimidating, especially when language barriers and rushed public / socialized medical care appointments (Cupat Cholim) leave patients feeling unheard. That’s the exact gap Drs. Tal and Milli Raviv are filling with their newly opened Raviv Dermal clinic in central Tel Aviv.
Located near Shuk HaCarmel with easy access to parking and public transportation, Raviv Dermal offers a full suite of dermatological care and aesthetic treatments — all in English (as well as Hebrew, French, Italian, and Romanian). The clinic is already attracting young professionals, internationals, and Anglo residents who feel more comfortable discussing their skin health in their native language – and without feeling the ticking time clock.
Why Skin Care Is Urgent in Israel
With Israel’s year-round sunshine and high daily UV exposure, dermatology isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s also about prevention. Even those who don’t frequent the beach are exposed to significant sun damage in their everyday lives.
“This is a sun-washed country. Just living your daily routine exposes you to more sun than you realize. That’s why annual skin checks are so important for early detection of skin cancer,” explains Dr. Tal Raviv.
A Different Approach to Dermatology
Dr. Tal Raviv has firsthand experience working both in Israel’s public system and the private sector. She says what makes her practice different is time and thoroughness:
“In the public system, patients get just 3 to 5 minutes per visit. You don’t even have time to tell your whole story. I believe you can’t truly help people that way. At Raviv Dermal, there are no time limits. Every patient receives the full attention they deserve.”
Her services include:
-
Treatment of common skin issues (acne, psoriasis, eczema, fungal infections, rashes)
-
Removal of benign lesions (skin tags, warts, red spots)
-
Annual full-body mole checks with the latest devices
-
Diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases
Aesthetic & Therapeutic Expertise
Dr. Milli Raviv, who also practices in Canada, specializes in cosmetic and therapeutic injections. She performs Botox, fillers, facial sculpting, lip and jawline treatments, mesotherapy, gummy smile and threads.
But it’s not just about beauty — Botox is increasingly being used for therapeutic purposes. Patients with migraines, jaw clenching (bruxism), or severe facial tension can find relief through targeted injections.
“It’s like a miracle,” says Dr. Milli. “People who wake up daily with headaches or ear pain from grinding suddenly feel better after one small, inexpensive treatment. They send me thank-you letters because it changes their lives.”
“For years, I suffered from severe night grinding. I would wake up with headaches, neck pain, and experience headaches all day long. I had to rely on Acamol and other painkillers just to get through the day. Then I met Milli. For the first time, I was referred by a dentist for this treatment. I had heard of it before, but it’s not very common in Israel,” said 49-year-old Anati Most from Yavne.”
“Since starting, I’ve been able to sleep through the night. On nights when I don’t use it, I can’t sleep well at all. I used to wake up every morning with headaches, but now, after this treatment, I get months of relief—about four to six months at a time—without needing painkillers. I also sleep better and don’t wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.”
She also trains dentists and doctors in Israel and Canada on advanced injection techniques.
A Natural Look
In a field where overdone results are all too common, Raviv Dermal has built a reputation for subtle, natural treatments.
“Patients tell me, ‘Please inject me but don’t make it obvious,’” Dr. Milli explained. “I prefer to use a little at first and bring them back after a few months. Everything should look fresh, not artificial.”
The clinic uses only top international brands such as Juvederm, Stylage, Revanesse, and Teosyal, all approved by Israel’s Ministry of Health. To ensure trust, patients are even shown the packaging before treatment and given a sample of the box to take home.
