What is Cosmetic Dermatology?
Cosmetic dermatology, also called aesthetic dermatology, is a branch of dermatology focused on improving the appearance of skin, hair, and nails through cosmetic treatments and procedures. Most cosmetic dermatology procedures are minimally invasive or non-invasive, meaning they involve little to no downtime and fit easily into everyday life.
Cosmetic dermatology is distinct from both medical dermatology (the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases) and surgical dermatology (Mohs and skin cancer surgery). So what does a cosmetic dermatologist do? The board-certified dermatologists at Suncoast Skin Solutions have specialized training in advanced aesthetic procedures such as injectables, laser therapy, chemical peels, and microneedling to reduce wrinkles, sun damage, scars, and uneven skin tone. Common goals include smoother skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, more even skin tone and pigmentation, body contouring, and hair reduction or restoration.
Comprehensive cosmetic dermatology services at Suncoast Skin Solutions are designed around you, helping you achieve healthier-looking, more youthful skin with the latest in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Our focus is aesthetic enhancement, using physician-level care to refresh your skin, all without the safety risks of non-physician medical spas.
When the Two Overlap
There are times when medical and aesthetic dermatology work together. For example, conditions such as acne scarring, melasma, or rosacea-related redness may be treated with both medical and cosmetic approaches. At Suncoast Skin Solutions, we offer integrated medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology under one roof, so patients do not have to choose between specialists.
Cosmetic Dermatology Treatments and Procedures
Suncoast Skin Solutions offers a wide range of cosmetic dermatology procedures designed to improve skin appearance, reduce signs of aging, and restore a refreshed, balanced look to both the face and body.
Injectables and Wrinkle Treatments
Anti-aging treatments focused on reducing the appearance of fine lines and deeper expression lines, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Wrinkle treatment options include Botox, Kybella, dermal fillers, and other targeted therapies that help smooth and refresh the skin.
Laser Skin Treatments
Laser skin treatment uses advanced light-based technology to target concerns such as sun damage, pigmentation, and unwanted hair. Procedures include laser skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, Clear + Brilliant, SmartSkin Fractionated CO2, Palomar Icon, and Candela Vbeam laser treatments.
Body Contouring and Skin Tightening
Treatments that help improve body shape and definition without surgery by targeting areas of stubborn fat or mild skin laxity on areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms. Aesthetic procedures include CoolSculpting, Thermage FLX, truBody and truSculpt, Alma Accent Cellulite & Exilis, and Pellevé Skin Tightening.
Skin Resurfacing and Texture Treatments
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to smooth rough skin, reduce visible pores, and support overall skin rejuvenation and texture. These include chemical peels, microneedling, microdermabrasion, dermabrasion, dermaplaning, and facials.
Pigmentation and Sun Damage
Pigmentation and sun damage treatments target uneven skin tone, dark spots, sun spots, and discoloration caused by UV exposure or aging. We specialize in Sunspot Treatment for sun-induced pigmentation, which is especially effective at treating long-term damage from the Florida sun.
Hair Restoration
Treatments that address thinning hair and early hair loss in both men and women. These may include medical therapies and in-office procedures to stimulate hair growth, strengthen existing hair, and improve overall scalp health, resulting in a fuller, more natural appearance.

Cosmetic Dermatology Frequently Asked Questions
A cosmetic dermatologist is a board-certified physician trained in aesthetic dermatology procedures that improve the appearance of skin, hair, and nails. They perform and oversee treatments such as injectables, laser therapy, chemical peels, and other non-surgical cosmetic procedures to address concerns like wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, scarring, and hair thinning.
No, cosmetic dermatology is not typically covered by insurance. However, in cases where treatment overlaps with a medical condition (such as acne scarring or redness related to rosacea), there may be partial insurance coverage. Patients should check directly with their insurance carrier to confirm specific benefits and eligibility.
Cosmetic dermatology is a medical specialty where treatments are performed or supervised by board-certified dermatologists with advanced training. A medical spa may offer similar services, but treatments are often performed by non-physician providers with varying degrees of training. At Suncoast, physician-led care helps ensure greater safety and consistency, which is especially important for laser, injectable, and prescription-grade treatments.
The most popular cosmetic dermatology treatments are Botox and dermal fillers, which are widely requested nationwide for their effectiveness in reducing wrinkles and restoring facial volume. Other popular options include body-contouring procedures such as CoolSculpting and laser hair removal, which address stubborn fat and unwanted hair, respectively.
The results of cosmetic dermatology procedures last for varying periods, depending on the type of treatment and individual factors. Botox typically lasts about 3–4 months, while most dermal fillers can last 6–18 months, depending on the product and treatment area. Procedures like CoolSculpting and laser hair removal can provide longer-lasting results, especially with occasional maintenance sessions. We personalize cosmetic dermatology treatment plans based on each patient’s goals to help maintain results over time.
Not usually. Cosmetic dermatology procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers, dermaplaning, and microdermabrasion typically allow patients to return to normal activities the same day or shortly after, and even more intensive procedures like resurfacing lasers, deeper chemical peels, and microneedling may only involve a few days of discomfort. During your consultation, we’ll go over expected recovery time so you know exactly what to expect before you begin treatment.
There is no specific age to begin cosmetic dermatology, as treatment timing depends on individual skin concerns and goals. Some patients choose to start preventive Botox in their late 20s or early 30s, while others begin treatment earlier or later based on specific concerns like sun damage, acne scarring, or volume loss. A consultation is the best way to determine the ideal timing for your needs.
