Advanced Skin and Laser Center

What Advanced Skin and Laser Center does

Advanced Skin and Laser Center is a privately held, single-location dermatology practice founded in 1998 by Dr. John Q. Binhlam in Brentwood, Tennessee. The practice delivers comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology under one roof, with both practicing dermatologists trained as Mohs surgeons operating an in-house certified lab. Medical services include skin cancer treatment (Mohs micrographic surgery, surgical excision, and superficial radiation therapy), and management of dermatologic conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and pigmentary disorders. In-network status with BlueCross BlueShield and Traditional Medicare anchors the medical revenue stream.

The cosmetic offering is built around an unusually broad device portfolio for an independent practice, including CoolSculpting, EMSCULPT NEO, Fraxel Dual, CO2RE, Clear + Brilliant, Sciton BBL, VBeam Perfecta, PicoWay, Gentlemax Pro, Ultherapy, Thermage CPT, Endymed Intensif, AVAVA (Miria), SmartGraft hair restoration, Emsella, KYBELLA, Brella SweatControl Patch, and PRP/stem-cell treatments. A separate sub-brand, Binhlam Aesthetics, operates as a medical spa targeting the cash-pay aesthetics consumer.

Revenue mechanics combine insurance-reimbursed professional services, high-margin out-of-pocket cosmetic procedures priced via consultation, and a recurring Elite Beauty by Binhlam VIP membership at $1,000/year that bundles complementary Jeuveau units, aesthetic reviews, preferred scheduling, and 15% member pricing. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with online booking, a multi-channel digital presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, an extensive blog, and 506 Google reviews), and a consultative sales motion for cosmetic treatments. The practice remains wholly founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment.

Broad incumbents

• LaserAway: National medspa chain specializing in laser hair removal, body contouring, injectables, and skin rejuvenation. Competes with ASLC on the cosmetic/energy-based device side of the business, particularly for younger consumer patients.
• Riverchase Dermatology: Multi-location dermatology and cosmetic practice with comparable service breadth (medical derm, Mohs, injectables, lasers, body contouring) and similar 'one-roof' positioning. Relevant direct competitor for ASLC's premium full-stack model.
• U.S. Dermatology Partners: PE-backed multi-site dermatology platform with significant presence across Tennessee (including the Nashville/Brentwood area). Competes with ASLC for the same medical and cosmetic dermatology patients, but with national scale, broader insurance contracting, and larger marketing budgets.
• Ideal Image: Largest U.S. medspa franchise offering Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, body contouring, and skin treatments. Comparable to ASLC's cosmetic services portfolio though it lacks the medical dermatology and Mohs surgery depth.
• Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery: Large multi-site dermatology group offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology across multiple states. Competes with ASLC on the medical/insurance side and offers similar aesthetic services via employed dermatologists.
• Schweiger Dermatology Group: Northeast-headquartered but expanding multi-site dermatology platform. Comparable service mix across medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology and a similar premium positioning strategy.

Emerging players

• Sona Dermatology & MedSpa: Multi-site dermatology and medspa operator with strong presence in the Southeast U.S. Directly comparable to ASLC on the cosmetic dermatology, laser, and injectable service lines.

Direct peers

• Asarch Center for Dermatology, Laser & Mohs Surgery: Private dermatology practice combining general dermatology, Mohs surgery, and cosmetic/laser services under one roof — closely mirroring ASLC's positioning, technology breadth, and 'comprehensive under one roof' value proposition.
• Cool Springs Dermatology: Independent dermatology practice located in the Cool Springs/Franklin submarket immediately adjacent to ASLC. Overlaps directly on medical derm, skin cancer, and cosmetic services for the same Nashville-area patients.

Regional players

• Nashville Dermatology Physicians: Local Nashville/Brentwood-area dermatology practice offering medical and cosmetic dermatology. Most direct local geographic competitor to ASLC for the Brentwood/Cool Springs patient base.
