About

Joyful Dermatology is a dermatology practice in Dobbs Ferry, New York, founded by Dr. Alaleh Akhavan after she practiced dermatology in Manhattan. The practice says it is not a traditional dermatology practice, and its stated aim is to keep skin care uncomplicated, safe and enjoyable.

The practice is housed in a converted brewery dating to 1853, on the Hudson River. Visits are unhurried, and clients have as much time as they need to ask questions. Pricing is stated before any service is performed, and no insurance is accepted.

Medical and cosmetic offerings include prescription skin care products, Botox introductory prices starting at $697 depending on the area treated, and laser and device sessions at $697 to $997 each. Lasers and devices are by appointment only, and clients book an introductory visit first. The practice also offers treatment for excessive sweating using a customized solution.

New clients can start with an initial visit at $897, or join the preventive plan Best Skin at Every Age, Ensured, in which the skin is evaluated and a clear action plan is set. Teens can work with the practice to build their own skin care habits. Gift cards are sold online in amounts of $497, $697, $897, $997, or a custom figure.

The practice does not offer skin cancer screenings but will recommend a medical dermatologist on request. For complexion visits, clients are asked to arrive without makeup or plan to wash their face at the office so the skin can be examined. No specific skin problem is needed to book a visit.

Designed to make skin care uncomplicated, safe and fun, with unhurried visits where clients can ask as many questions as they need.

The practice describes its converted brewery space on the Hudson River as beautiful.
