Dr. Lin received his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. He then completed his dermatology residency training and National Institutes of Health research fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Lin returned to California and accepted the positions of Adjunct Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine and Clinical Instructor at the University of California at Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine.

Besides publishing scientific papers on dermatology and cutaneous gene therapy, Dr. Lin has been a

consultant for the news media and featured as the dermatologist on celebrity television show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." More importantly, Dr. Lin has earned the trust and respect of the thousands of patients who have interacted with him on a personal basis.

In 2002, Dr. Lin began offering cosmetic treatments to lighten dark freckles and even out skin tone. Each patient received custom tailored treatments including laser treatments followed by skin creams to lighten dark spots on the face and improve the complexion. Dr Lin then developed a renowned skin care program to help his patients maintain the flawless looking appearance they were achieving through laser therapy. The response was tremendous. As word traveled, patients began to come from as far as Hawaii and the East Coast for treatments. At the request of his patients and estheticians, Dr. Lin created a medical skin care line designed to bring the most effective dermatology treatments out of the clinic and into patient’s homes. In 2009 after working with the best research and development team, Dr. Lin introduced LINAGE LINQ (pronounced “link”), a revolutionary skin care line with a proprietary blend of ingredients to nourish, exfoliate and renew skin cells.
