What Advanced Dermatology does

Advanced Dermatology, P.C. is a private, physician-owned multi-specialty dermatology practice founded in 1986 and headquartered in New York, operating 40+ clinic locations across New York (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester) and New Jersey with a network of 75+ board-certified providers spanning dermatologists, Mohs surgeons, plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, allergists, and medical aestheticians. The practice delivers an integrated portfolio that covers medical dermatology (acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, rosacea, vitiligo, warts), Mohs micrographic surgery with reported cure rates up to 99% for primary skin cancers and 95% for recurrent cases using CLIA-certified on-site labs, cosmetic dermatology (injectables including Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra; Botox; chemical peels; microneedling; PRP), laser procedures (Gemini, MedLite, DermaV, Sofwave, Ulthera, Erbium, XTRAC excimer, Pallas UVB), plastic surgery (facelifts, eyelid lifts, breast procedures, liposuction, reconstructive surgery), vein treatments including ASVAL and MINT techniques pioneered by in-house surgeon Dr. John F. Gallagher, pediatric dermatology, eldercare on-site services at nursing homes and assisted living facilities, allergy services, medical esthetics, and telehealth consultations.

Technically, the practice was the first in New York and New Jersey to deploy Skinmap, a next-generation total body skin mapping imaging system for early skin cancer detection, and operates a diversified fleet of laser and energy-based devices spanning ultrasound (Sofwave, Ulthera), radiofrequency (Thermage), excimer (XTRAC), 1320nm endovenous (CoolTouch CTEV), dual-wavelength vascular (Gemini), pigmentation (MedLite), and UVB (Pallas) modalities. Eldercare delivery uses HIPAA-compliant technology to extend dermatology care into nursing home and assisted living settings, eliminating patient transportation needs.

The business model is a hybrid direct-to-consumer professional services practice: medical dermatology, Mohs surgery, and medically necessary vein procedures are billed through insurance (Medicare, PPOs, HMOs, IPAs) on a pay-as-you-go basis, while cosmetic dermatology, plastic surgery, laser aesthetics, and elective vein work are predominantly self-pay. Ancillary revenue comes from medical-grade skincare sold through a proprietary e-commerce storefront at store.advanceddermatologypc.com. Patient acquisition is driven by same-day appointment availability across 40+ locations, online booking, a multi-channel digital presence (website, blog, email newsletter, Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube), and institutional contracts for eldercare on-site services. Dr. Joshua L. Fox serves as Founder, Owner and Medical Director; no external private equity, venture capital, or strategic investor backing was identified in the source material, consistent with an independent physician-group practice model.
