Core offering

Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery operates a multi-specialty dermatology and cosmetic surgery platform delivering medical dermatology, skin cancer detection and treatment (including Mohs surgery and Superficial Radiation Therapy), cosmetic/aesthetic procedures (BOTOX, dermal fillers, laser treatments, body contouring), pediatric dermatology, dermatopathology lab diagnostics, telehealth visits, and clinical research across 160+ clinic locations in 14 U.S. states.

Product overview

Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery is a large dermatology practice network founded in 1989 by Dr. Matt L. Leavitt, operating as a single unified healthcare delivery platform rather than a modular software product. The practice offers a comprehensive range of dermatological services organized across multiple specialties: medical dermatology (treating conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and skin infections), skin cancer detection and treatment (including Total-Body Skin Cancer Exams, Mohs Surgery, and Superficial Radiation Therapy), cosmetic/aesthetic dermatology (covering facial injectables such as BOTOX, Dysport, Juvéderm, and Restylane; laser and energy treatments; skin rejuvenation; and cosmetic surgery), pediatric dermatology, telehealth consultations, dermatopathology laboratory services, and clinical research through its Ameriderm Research division. The company also operates an e-commerce platform (shop.advancedderm.com) selling medical-grade skincare products including its proprietary Proscriptix FX hair and skin line. The network has grown through acquisitions to over 150-160 office locations across 14 states, having acquired numerous dermatology practices including Esterson Dermatology, Maragh Dermatology, Fort Mill Dermatology, and others. The practice emphasizes a 'relationship-based care' model and offers same-day/next-day appointments at many locations.
