Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery

What Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery does

Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery (legal entity ADCS Clinics, LLC) is a US-based, privately held dermatology practice group operating 150–160+ clinic locations across at least 11 states. It provides integrated medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology services — including total-body skin cancer exams, Mohs micrographic surgery, Superficial Radiation Therapy, treatment of general skin conditions (acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, infections), pediatric dermatology, in-house dermatopathology, clinical research, and a suite of cosmetic procedures (BOTOX, dermal fillers, laser and energy treatments, PDO threads, cosmetic surgery). Patient-facing channels include in-clinic appointments, telehealth in 11 states at $100 per visit, online booking, and a patient portal, with insurance accepted from major US payers.

The practice's clinical platform is anchored by a large network of 150+ board-certified dermatologists supported by Mohs surgeons, dermatopathologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and aesthetic specialists, along with internal training programs (residency, PA/NP, Bridge Year). It has deployed FDA-cleared technologies including Nevisense (an AI-assisted, electrical-impedance-spectroscopy-based device for melanoma detection and biopsy decision support) and Superficial Radiation Therapy. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service medical visits (insurance and self-pay), self-pay cosmetic procedures, cash-pay telehealth visits, and an e-commerce skincare storefront (shop.advancedderm.com) carrying proprietary lines such as Proscriptix FX alongside curated medical-grade products.

Growth has been driven primarily by acquisition of regional dermatology practices — including Castle Dermatology & Laser Center, Cara Mia Dermatology, Florida Skin Center, Fort Collins Skin Clinic, Grekin Skin Institute, and Maragh Dermatology, which retain their original brand names under the ADCS umbrella — supplemented by service-line extension (telehealth, e-commerce, AI diagnostics) and partnerships such as the Upperline Plus collaboration for Medicare patients. The practice reports diagnosing and treating more than 100,000 skin cancers annually and maintaining a 4.85-star patient rating across 24,892 reviews.
