Leading Edge Dermatology

Leading Edge Dermatology offers medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology from two South Florida offices, in Plantation at 333 NW 70th Avenue and in Fort Lauderdale at 1323 SE 4th Avenue. The practice sees patients from infancy into later life, with pediatric dermatology for children and adult dermatology for anyone over 18. Adult care covers both common and less common skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, warts, hives, vitiligo, scars, and hair, scalp, and nail concerns.

Adult visits take place in the office, where biopsies, patch tests, and minor surgery can be performed. Telehealth is also available for skin evaluations, treatment planning, and follow-up, by phone, tablet, or computer. Same-day appointments are offered, and the practice accepts most insurance plans, with coverage questions handled directly by the office. Appointments can be booked by phone or online, and cosmetic consultations can be booked the same way.

The practice provides skin cancer care, starting with evaluation, diagnostic exams and biopsies, and treating both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. For non-melanoma cases it offers Mohs micrographic surgery, in which tissue is removed in stages and examined under a microscope between each excision. Superficial radiation therapy and photodynamic therapy are also available. On the cosmetic side, services include Botox and filler injections, skin renewal, laser and energy-based procedures, body contouring, hair and scalp restoration, permanent cosmetic makeup and cosmetic surgery. These treatments can target scars, acne, skin tags, age spots, moles, birthmarks, stretch marks, spider veins, wrinkles, melasma, unwanted tattoos and uneven facial contours. Before any treatment, the provider reviews the expected recovery period and whether the result is permanent. Non-permanent treatments can be repeated at follow-up visits to keep results in place. According to the practice, it uses the latest tools and technologies available in the field for cosmetic work.

The team focuses on listening to each patient and building an ongoing working partnership in their treatment.
