Fraxel®
Fraxel® doesn’t need to overhaul your skin for you to see results. Instead, it works with what’s already there, using your body’s healing response to restore a smoother, more even texture.
What Does Fraxel Treat?
Fraxel is a fractional laser available in both non-ablative and ablative options, so your provider can tailor treatment to your skin and goals. Both approaches create thousands of microscopic treatment zones beneath your skin's surface, leaving surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing. This targeted method triggers your body's natural repair process to produce new collagen and replace damaged skin from the inside out
It’s most often used for sun damage, brown spots, acne or surgical scarring, fine lines, and uneven texture on the face, neck, chest, or hands. Since each treatment session focuses on a portion of the skin rather than the entire surface, your provider will typically recommend a short treatment series spaced a few weeks apart to see full results.
What Happens at Your Appointment?
Fraxel treatments are quick, and most patients are in and out within an hour.

Your Experience With Fraxel
Right after treatment, skin typically looks flushed and may feel warm, similar to a light sunburn. Over the next few days, the treated areas often take on a bronzed, slightly gritty texture, which simply means the old skin is making its way to the surface.
Once the top layer of skin sheds, what’s underneath will be smoother and more even. Full results build gradually as new collagen forms, especially once you’ve completed your recommended series of sessions.

The new Academic Alliance in Dermatology office at 915 Chestnut Street in Clearwater is truly impressive: bright, modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. From start to finish, everyone you encounter is warm, caring, and respectful. I felt genuinely valued and well cared for during my visit. My parents were under Dr. Zook’s care for many years, and he always treated them with kindness and dedication. He continues to demonstrate his unwavering commitment to his patients by promptly assessing illnesses, diagnosing accurately, and providing effective therapy. We are incredibly grateful to have such a compassionate and skilled doctor in our lives. Wishing you ongoing success and many more years of making a difference. Thank you!

Stephanie Gigliotti (surgery scheduler).....amazing. As someone who is going through a very hard time right now I truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, compassion, knowledge and encouragement. I hope the surgeon has that level of warmth and caring. Thank you, Stephanie. In case no one else tells you, I think you're wonderful!!!! A+++!

I had the most wonderful experience with Britney Sanderson. She was very professional and knowledgeable concerning the procedures that I desired. Most especially she made sure I was comfortable, understood the procedures that she would be administrating, the after care and took the time needed to answer all of my questions. She made me feel very special. I was totally overwhelmed with the outcome! Thank you Britney.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience when I had a procedure done at VA. Dermatology and Skin Cancer center in Newport News. From the receptionist to all the staff and Doctors they all showed compassion, professionalism and made sure all questions were answered before and after my procedure. I could definitely tell they all had a passion for what they do and the people they serve. Regards, Mike Holland

Diana M.
My experience at Anne Arundel Dermatology in Greenbelt, MD was excellent from my first appointment through the last visit. When I walked through the front door I was greeted by very friendly and efficient front desk staff and I never had to wait long to be called back to see the doctor. Also, all of the medical technicians and doctors were friendly, knowledgeable and very thorough in explaining all of the medical information. I would highly recommend Anne Arundel Dermatology in Greenbelt, MD to anyone looking for a very professional and customer-centric practice.
Diana M.
I had a mole removed from my back and it was much less painful than I thought it would be. The staff were very courteous and professional.
Diana M.
VA dermatology gives the very best personal service and professional care I could hope for. I’ve been using them for 7 years and would never consider going anywhere else.
Diana M.
This team including Dr. Dhar is knowledgeable, efficient and kind. What more can you possibly expect from a healthcare provider.
Diana M.
Friendly, efficient and thorough. Addressed my issue professionally and effectively in a timely manner!
Diana M.
I've been a patient for over twenty years. Tracy Cloninger, PA is so fantastic to her patients. She really cares and it shows! She is thorough in her examinations and always reassuring but honest. The entire team at Southern Dermatology is top notch!
Diana M.
I can not say enough wonderful things about my experience today. It is never a comfortable feeling when you need your body checked over. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by professional staff. They made my new patient check-in effortless. Amy and her assistant could not have made me feel more comfortable. Amy was able to answer my hundred questions and gave me a thorough exam. She was able to address all my issues. And they made my procedure process pain-free. I felt at ease the whole time and that speaks volumes. I highly recommend this dermatologist office. I love also that even though cosmetic procedures could be done they did not push that on me at all. Even upon leaving the staff checking me out was professional and efficient. And the team members I saw that greeted me hello took the time to say goodbye and have a good day.
Diana M.
Gloria is the best I've been going here for years

Diana M.
Dr. Becker is truly an exceptional dermatologist. He has always made me feel comfortable and cared for, and his solutions work. It’s clear that he’s very knowledgeable and also has a lot of empathy for his clients. So grateful for him and this practice!

You won't find a better staff or level of care or concerns from another dermatologist in the state I travel over 90 minutes both ways for the excellent experience they provide promise you'll feel the same after just one visit I've been coming for over a year now have never considered going anywhere else I normally don't do reviews but I couldn't pass this one up Keep up the good work ladies
Diana M.
I went to Carolina Skin Care in Pinehurst for MOHS surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma on my forehead. Dr. Malone and her staff treated me like a king. They made sure that I was comfortable and pain free. On the night of the surgery, my wound began to bleed. The bleeding would not stop so I went to the emergency room. They were unable to stop the bleeding and referred me back to Carolina Skin Care with Dr. Malone and her staff. They were able to stop the bleeding before I left. I greater appreciate the care that I received from Dr. Malone and her staff.
Diana M.
Best woman of color dermatologist there is! Hands down! I started struggling with acne again in my 30s, and I’ve been seeing Dr. Boswell for about two years now. One thing I’ve learned is that acne treatment is not one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not work for another. It took some time, patience, and trial and error for us to figure out what worked best for my skin, but we finally got there! I can proudly say I have ZERO bumps on my face, and we’re now working on my hyperpigmentation! I absolutely love this office! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. I’m beyond happy with my results and so thankful for Dr. Boswell and her team. Highly recommend! ❤️
Diana M.
Great job! Have been to Turkey Creek location and went to Dowell Springs location b/c I could get in to see the provider sooner. Marcus, PA is great in any location lol. Thank you to all the staff from check in to exam then check out!

I wish I could split this review between the front desk and the providers. I would give the providers 5 stars. The front desk would get 2 stars. Made to feel like a complete annoyance to them.

Wonderful staff and very pleased with Dr Roop’s analysis and treatment!
Diana M.
As an established patient of Academic Alliance in Dermatology, I continue to be pleased with Dr. Lam and his staff. The office is run on a timely basis, is comfortable, and very clean. Since Dr. Lam was booked out, and I wanted an appointment fairly soon, I accepted an appointment in the Tarpon office with his PA, Morgan. I was exceedingly pleased with Morgan's professional expertise and her sensitivity to my anxiety. She explained the skin condition clearly and offered me medical advice on what could be done to treat it. I chose to have her shave off the seborria keratosis patch on my skin. Morgan is very skilled, and the process went very smoothly. She explained the aftercare. Morgan's assistant, Taliah, was very attentive and proficient. I am very happy with the talented professionalism both women showed me and with the office in general.
Diana M.
You know those medical practictioners who run their office poorly, the waits are long, and the staff treat you like you've invaded their personal space and you're dumb for being there? That is NOT this place. 2 days ago, I found a spot of concern on my arm. I got an appointment within 2 days. I walked in and waited max 10 minutes. My PA (Anjana Patel) listened to my concern, did a couple of feel tests, thought it was probably nothing but since it was a little funny, she biopsied it on the spot. Then she asked if I wanted a whole skin check since I never had had one, which she performed with compassion and competence. She was amazing, and her assistant, Grace, was wonderful too. The office staff was similarly kind and got me in and out quickly. It's obviously a nice place to work, because the office staff was smiling and joking with each other while also performing their tasks with professionalism. Could not recommend more highly. 10/10.
Diana M.
Buen lugar exelentes especialistas

Diana M.
Excellent service & especially accommodating for our difficult situation.
Diana M.
Dr. Ismail is hands down the kindest and most compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. She was a real person and not just scribbling away and trying to get me out the door. I’m very grateful for a positive experience and hope other doctors are as kind as she is!
Diana M.
First time at Virginia Dermatology. Definitely recommend. Check-in was easy. Front desk staff were welcoming. Wait time was not long at all, between the time I arrived until seeing provider. Provider was pleasant and thorough.

Very efficient and professional organization. There was more than adequate information as to the surgical procedure and the staff was polite and courteous throughout the experience.
Diana M.
Megan and Alexis took the best care of me. I was very nervous about my procedure and the office manager Megan explained everything in detail and Alexis assisted with said procedure. Everything went great and I would highly recommend.
Diana M.
Good experience. Doctor smith and his team were very good. I highly recommend.
Diana M.
Very nice and curtious staff! I was very hesitant at first after my former dermatologist, Dr Buckley, retired, but this office is amazing.
Diana M.
Excellent care. Kerri Mcdonald in Bel Air is the best! Staff is just as wonderful.
Diana M.
I recently visited Nathali Rodriguez for full body skin check. Living in Florida...this is a must, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, professional, and efficient, making me feel comfortable right away. Nathali is absolutely outstanding—she took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained everything in clear, easy-to-understand terms, and provided a thorough examination. Her expertise was evident, and she made sure I left with a clear treatment plan and all my questions answered. What really stood out was their genuine compassion and patience. I never felt rushed, and she went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident in my care. My past follow-ups where just as attentive, which speaks volumes about Nathali's dedication to patients. If you’re looking for an ENT who combines top-notch medical skill with kindness and professionalism, look no further! I highly recommend Nathali and their team. Thank you for such a positive experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Dermatology Care from Alanna McLaughlin, FNP-BC I had an outstanding experience with Alanna McLaughlin, FNP-BC. As a dermatology practitioner, she demonstrates exceptional clinical knowledge, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to patient care. Alanna took the time to thoroughly assess my concerns, explain the diagnosis and treatment plan in clear terms, and ensure that I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and compassionate approach made a meaningful difference in my experience. It is clear that she is passionate about dermatology and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I highly recommend Alanna McLaughlin, FNP-BC, to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate dermatology provider.

I felt the doctor was thorough and knowledgeable. Easy, pleasant skin checkup. Highly recommend this practice.

I highly recommend Dermatology Specialist of Augusta. I have been a patient in this office for around 4yrs now and I can honestly say I have received great care and advice. During all my procedures (including 3 Mohs surgeries) Every staff member including Dr Callaway makes sure you are comfortable and well informed about everything they are doing, I really appreciate that. From the front office to scheduling and all the nursing staff everyone is so friendly and supportive . A special thank you to PA Carly Griffies and Dr Callaway

Dr Blake Childress and his staff was amazing with my daughter. I would highly recommend him for pediatric appointments.

Diana M.
Care here is always professional and thorough but these folks are also patient and kind. Dr. Rice sets a great example for her staff!
Diana M.
Great service and personal care received by Shannon Craven, P.A. She is so personable and was very helpful in explaining the procedure I had done. She also had a great assistant, Ginger, who was very polite and good with giving shots. I highly recommend Shannon at Carolina Skin Care in Laurinburg, NC.
Diana M.
She was not very talkative but when she was she was nice and answered everything. Not everyone talks allot so don't take her rude she is not. Although I was supposed to get my wound package at 12 today and as far as I know I still don't have it.
Diana M.
Dr Schoonover is great! The staff is so friendly and helpful, from the front desk to the nurses in the back. Thank you all!
Diana M.
Always seen at the time of my appointment. Never left waiting. Doctors are very thorough. Appointments are easy to make.
Diana M.
The nurse was super—efficient and helpful—and Dr. Zook was excellent. This is the first time I’ve felt like a dermatologist was listening to my medical concern and not trying to upsell me cosmetic products and procedures (they have those available, but it’s not why I was there). Highly recommended!
Diana M.
AAD is an extraordinary practice filled with professional, knowledgeable Dr's, NPs, and staff. I highly recommend it
Diana M.
Here’s a revised version: I had an excellent experience at Academic Alliance in Dermatology West Largo. I was there today to have my second squamous cell carcinoma removed from my scalp, as well as another one removed from my leg. The building is brand new, exceptionally clean, and very welcoming. Everyone on the staff was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring from the moment I arrived. The doctors and staff took the time to answer my questions, explain the procedures, and make me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Their attention to detail and commitment to patient care were outstanding. I highly recommend Academic Alliance in Dermatology West Largo to anyone looking for high-quality dermatology care. Thank you to the entire team for making what could have been a stressful day such a positive experience.

I want to compliment Dr Bermudez on all his professionalism, kindness, caring and most of all his skills as a doctor. I have never had a doctor that was so good at what he did and how he treated me for my wound. I was so blessed having him as my doctor and the staff that is at the Whiteville, NC office as I do the Wilmington North Carolina office or initially had my surgery with Dr Bermudez who also sees patients at the Whiteville North Carolina office for MoH's surgery. He is the best of the best. Thank you Dr Bermudez..SherrieGordon
Diana M.
Usually medical care these days seem “let’s get them in and out” without real care of the specifics of a Patient. However with Ms. Jamie Wotell, PA her care of patients is noticeably different making sure she has met their needs. Her concerns are genuine. I Love her caring demeanor. In addition, she Knows the treatment needed to make you feel better and that’s the reason I have gone repeatedly to her for medical assistance. I have also recommended her to family and friends.
Diana M.

Diana M.
I want to take a moment to applaud Michelle Brown. Over the years, I've been to several dermatologists and have had both good and not-so-good experiences. Michelle took the time to thoroughly examine every concern, and I left feeling like I had one of the most comprehensive annual skin exams I've ever received. She was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, informative, and genuinely delightful throughout the entire visit. The front office was well organized, and the entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dermatology team that truly cares about their patients and provides exceptional care.

Caring and professional staff, offered solutions and encouragement, after many painful mohs surgeries elsewhere feel like they treat things differently here and felt seen as a patient, not overscheduled and barely any wait time, highly recommend this practice.
Diana M.
No wait time. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Doctors are very thorough and answered all of our questions and concerns.
Diana M.
I walked in and signed in and was called to go back to a room witin 15 minutes. I saw Whitney Sharp, NP within 5 minutes and she was very nice, courteous, and prompt. I was in and out of clinic in about 35 minutes total. I would recommend this clinic to everyone that I know.

I will definitely use this office in the future. Thank you for the excellent experience!
Diana M.
Huge shoutout to Nurse Practitioner Kelsey Reed and the receptionist for their excellent care and customer service. I was a little upset after driving to my appointment and learning that my provider was unable to see me due to an insurance credentialing issue that I had not been informed about beforehand. Thankfully, the receptionist quickly helped arrange for me to see Kelsey. Kelsey was kind, professional, informative, and took the time to address all of my concerns. Both she and the receptionist turned what could have been a very frustrating experience into a positive one. Thank you both for your compassion, professionalism, and dedication to patients!

Your Fraxel Questions, Answered
Fraxel laser resurfacing is best at correcting sun damage, brown spots, and stubborn pigmentation (including melasma in some cases), along with acne scars, surgical scarring, fine lines, rough texture, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. It's also used on the face, neck, chest, and hands to support long-term collagen production and skin clarity.
Not exactly. Fraxel is available in both non-ablative and ablative options, while Erbium lasers are fully ablative. Non-ablative Fraxel works beneath the skin's surface without removing the top layer, so recovery is typically shorter. Ablative Fraxel, like Erbium, treats the surface layer directly, which means more noticeable downtime but often more dramatic results in fewer sessions. Your provider will help determine which depth of treatment fits your goals.
Most of our patients complete a series of three to five treatments spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will tailor a plan to your goals.
Our providers use a numbing cream and cooling device throughout treatment, so patients describe the experience as mildly uncomfortable and never intense or painful.
We see most patients return to activities within one or two days, though skin may look bronzed or feel textured for about a week.
Skin should look fresher once the bronzing resolves, with ongoing improvement in tone and texture over the following months.
We advise waiting to apply makeup until flaking has resolved, typically within a few days. Your provider will confirm timing based on how your skin is healing and the treatment strength.
Fraxel laser resurfacing can benefit many skin types and concerns. If you’re not sure, start with a consultation. This gives your provider an opportunity to assess your skin, answer any questions, and confirm whether you’re a good candidate.
Often. Fraxel is frequently paired with microneedling, chemical peels, or BBL (BroadBand Light) to address pigment and redness in addition to texture and scarring.
