Meet Dr. Lisa Kellett

Looking for a top Toronto dermatologist? Meet our skin whisperer.

If you’ve browsed The Skiny before, you’ll notice one name keeps coming up: Dr. Lisa Kellett. She’s our go-to derm, and DLK on Avenue is our trusted destination for cutting-edge skin treatments.

So why do we sing her praises?

Back when The Skiny was just a spark of an idea in Winter 2012, we knew we needed a medical advisor who wasn’t just respected in the industry—but revered. Someone with clinical clout and compassion. A trailblazer. A straight-shooter. A woman with heart.

Dr. Kellett checked every box—and then some.

We already knew her from her media appearances on Global News, CityNews, CTV’s Breakfast Television, and Entertainment Tonight Canada. She’s a member of the Canadian Laser Aesthetic Surgery Society and the Toronto Dermatological Society. But what really sealed the deal? The buzz.

Ask around in Toronto’s beauty and wellness circles, and you’ll hear the acronym “DLK” whispered like a secret weapon. Here’s what people told us:

“She treats so-and-so.”
“She has four kids, you know.”
“Her skin wasn’t always perfect—which makes her even more relatable.”
“She works with SickKids through her charitable initiative, DLK Cares.”
“She reconstructed a woman’s face after a freak accident on the 401—pro bono.”
“She changed my skin. I don’t wear foundation on camera anymore!”
“She solved my skin mystery when no one else could.”
“Her acne line? Game-changer.”

The admiration was endless.

So when we officially launched The Skiny in Fall 2012, we asked Dr. Kellett if she’d be our expert-on-call. To our delight, she said yes—and she’s been generously sharing her wisdom with us ever since, whether we’re dealing with a breakout or a full-blown skin SOS moment.

As The Skiny evolves into your trusted source for smart, science-backed skin advice, we wanted to formally introduce you to the woman behind the magic.

Whatever your skin concern, chances are Dr. Kellett has tackled it. And we’re lucky to have her in our corner.
