Microneedling em Dermatología Avanzada

Dermatología Avanzada is a private dermatology clinic in the La Esperilla district of Santo Domingo. The facility combines medical diagnosis, dermatologic surgery, and aesthetic medicine. Dr. Raisa Acosta leads the clinic with over 35 years of clinical experience. As a single-specialty center for skin health, it offers a diagnostic pathway that connects clinical history with high-resolution imaging.

Expertise and Academic Achievements

Dr. Raisa Acosta has practiced continuously since 1987. She is a member of several international organizations:

• American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)
• International Society of Dermatopathology (ISDP)
• Ibero-Latin American College of Dermatology (CILAD)
• Ibero-Latin American Society of Dermatopathology (SILADEPA)

Dr. Acosta has published four works, including research in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. In 2025, she presented diagnostic methods for Spitz nevi at the XXII Dominican Congress of Dermatology.

Medical Dermatology and Diagnostics

Every treatment begins with a thorough diagnostic workflow. The clinic uses dermatoscopy to examine suspicious moles, spots, and skin lesions. This non-invasive tool allows high-resolution mapping of pigmented areas. When a definitive diagnosis is needed, the team performs biopsies for laboratory study.

The medical department manages a variety of skin conditions:

• Suspicious moles and pigmented spots
• Acne and inflammatory skin disorders
• Dermatitis, including atopic and contact types
• Vitiligo and psoriasis
• Alopecia, including fibrosing and areata subtypes

For inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, the clinic provides phototherapy. This treatment uses controlled UV light to manage psoriasis and vitiligo symptoms. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen treats warts and other benign skin growths. Sclerotherapy is available for superficial varicose and spider veins.

Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Rejuvenation

Dermatología Avanzada provides aesthetic procedures grounded in medical science. Dr. Acosta personally applies treatments and designs individualized plans for each patient. She selects combinations of procedures based on physical assessment rather than standardized protocols. Goals include improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and treating acne scars.

The clinic uses several platforms for tissue bio-stimulation and remodeling:

• Pellevé – radiofrequency technology that stimulates collagen to firm the skin.
• Dermapen – microneedling that activates deep tissue regeneration.
• PDRN – salmon-derived polynucleotides for cellular-level bio-stimulation.
• EPN – needle-free electroporation that delivers active ingredients into the skin.

Laser treatments include the Palomar Emerge fractional laser. This device targets lines around the eyes, enlarged pores, and irregular skin texture. The clinic also uses Laser Soprano for hair removal and LED light therapy to reduce skin congestion. For facial care, patients can access HydraFacial sessions and lymphatic drainage.

International Patient Support

The clinic treats international patients with educational content and structured procedure selection. Specialists help patients choose suitable treatment combinations when multiple options are needed. The clinic also offers family therapy training for skin issues with emotional components. This helps international visitors manage skin health alongside stress-related triggers.
