Trusted experts in cosmetic dermatology

No other cosmetic provider in Boston matches our expertise. Our doctors choose from extensive treatments, many of which we helped develop, to get the results you seek.
What to expect with laser or cosmetic treatments

We customize your treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals. To provide you with this level of personalized care, you must have an in-person consultation before starting treatment.

During this appointment, your provider:

  • Examines your skin and assesses any skin conditions
  • Learns more about your concerns and treatment goals
  • Reviews your general health and medical history
  • Recommends a treatment plan and explains the risks, benefits, number of sessions, and estimated cost

Most medical insurers consider laser and cosmetic dermatology services medically unnecessary. You may need to cover all costs. Please check with your insurer about coverage.

Comprehensive nonsurgical cosmetic procedures

We offer more types of nonsurgical cosmetic procedures than any other provider in the Boston area. Treatments include:

  • Body and facial contouring, using light-based technology, controlled cooling, or injections to get rid of small areas of fat
  • Botulin toxin injections to relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines
  • Facial (dermal) fillers and injectables to minimize frown lines, wrinkles around your eyes (crow’s feet), and creases between your eyes
  • Injections (sclerotherapy) and laser treatments for spider veins
  • Skin-tightening treatments to lift and tone your eyebrows, neck, chin, and chest
Full spectrum of laser skin treatment options

Lasers use different types of light energy to treat specific body areas and skin conditions. Our doctors expertly use a range of laser treatments. This experience, combined with more than 20 different laser treatment options, ensures you receive the most effective therapy for your distinct needs.

We offer laser treatments to treat:

  • Acne scars
  • Birthmarks, including hemangiomas and port wine stains
  • Discolored skin, including melasma, rosacea, and vitiligo
  • Spider veins
  • Sun damage and age spots

Specialized care for people with darker skin tones
People with darker skin tones can be more prone to skin discoloration, scars (keloids), moles, and hair loss. Unfortunately, some laser and cosmetic treatments can damage dark skin. We have cosmetic dermatologists who specialize in treating darker skin tones. These experts know which laser treatments and cosmetic procedures are safe for darker skin. We create a personalized treatment plan you can trust.

  • Acne scars and other scars
  • Belly fat (love handles)
  • Double chin
