Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery

What Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery does

Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery, operating as The Professional Aesthetic Image Center, P.C., is a private, solo-physician dermatology practice founded and led by Dr. Cheryl Burgess, MD, FAAD. The practice operates two clinical locations — a headquarters in Washington, DC (2311 M St. NW) and a secondary office in Annapolis, MD (167 Jennifer Rd) — and serves individual patients across the Washington DC and Anne Arundel County metro areas. Its headcount is reported in the 1–10 range, consistent with a single-physician practice supported by licensed aestheticians and administrative staff.

The practice delivers a full spectrum of medical and cosmetic dermatology services. Medical offerings include diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer, acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, surgical dermatology, and scar revision. Cosmetic offerings span neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify), soft tissue fillers (Restylane, Juvéderm, Belotero, Radiesse, Sculptra, Prollenium Revanesse), body contouring devices (Vanquish, PelleFirm, Kybella), skin tightening (Ultherapy, Pellevé), laser dermatology (Fraxel, Nd:YAG, IPL, laser hair removal), thread lifts, and an Institute For Hair for hair loss treatment. A notable specialization is skin-of-color dermatology, leveraging Nd:YAG laser technology and pigment-disorder expertise to serve African-American, Latino, Asian, Indian, and Mediterranean patients.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service model: medical services are billed through insurance, while cosmetic procedures are billed directly to patients, with consultation-based pricing and No Surprises Act good-faith estimates provided. Ancillary revenue derives from Dr. Burgess's roles as a clinical investigator, consultant, and key opinion leader for Allergan/Abbvie, Janssen, Prollenium, Merz, Incyte, L'Oréal, and Revance. The practice is structured as a professional corporation with no parent company, institutional investors, or external ownership.
