New York
Few cities take their skin as seriously as New York. It is home to some of the most research driven dermatology in the world, where board certified physicians publish, teach and refine techniques that the rest of the field later adopts. The result for patients is depth of expertise and an exacting standard, set against city prices to match.
New York leans academic. Many of its leading practices are run by dermatologists with hospital and teaching appointments, often at institutions such as Mount Sinai, and several are recognised year after year as Castle Connolly Top Doctors. The city favours a natural, understated aesthetic in injectables and is a global centre for laser and light treatments, advanced facials and cosmetic dermatology. Expect rigorous consultations, a preference for evidence over trend, and a willingness to say no when a treatment is not right for you.
