Refreshed, not frozen
We re-sync the data regularly. When a company's rating moves on Google, it moves here too, and we mark the companies that climbed or are new since our last check.
Clear labels
Smarfle Partner badges mark businesses that run on our platform. Featured placements, when present, are always labeled.
What does a dermatologist cost?
What moves the price
- Medical visits (skin checks, acne, biopsies) usually run through insurance; cosmetic work (Botox, fillers, most lasers) is always out of pocket.
- Injectables are priced per unit or per syringe, and the total depends on how many areas you treat.
- Laser treatments are sold as packages of sessions; the per-session price drops but the commitment grows.
- Who performs the treatment: physician time costs more than a nurse injector under supervision.
Ask each company to confirm these in writing before work starts. One free request above reaches up to three of them at once.
What dermatologists in Jericho, NY actually do
Practices differ more than their websites suggest. Some are medical first and bill insurance, some are cosmetic and do not, and not all of them perform Mohs surgery or own the device you came in for. Here is what each treatment involves, including the downtime most sites are vague about.
The reason a dermatologist is a physician. Usually billed to medical insurance, unlike everything below.
Full-body skin exam
A head-to-toe check for anything that has changed, which is how skin cancer is caught while it is still small.
When you book, ask whether the practice confirms your insurance covers a preventive skin exam versus a problem-focused visit, since how the office codes the appointment changes what you owe. Bring a list of any spots you want the doctor to look at specifically so nothing gets overlooked during the visit.
Ask about. Whether the physician performs the exam themselves, and how quickly they can see you if something needs a closer look.
Worth knowing. Usually billed to medical insurance rather than treated as cosmetic, so confirm coverage when you book.
Biopsy of a suspicious spot
Removing a small sample so a pathologist can say what something actually is.
Ask the practice whether they send biopsy samples to an outside lab or process them in-house, because that directly affects how long you wait for results. If a suspicious spot comes up during your visit, find out whether the doctor can take the sample that same day so you avoid scheduling a separate return appointment.
Ask about. Whether pathology is read in house or sent out, since that is what decides how long you wait for an answer.
Worth knowing. A dermatologist who takes a biopsy on the same visit saves you a second appointment and a second wait.
Mohs surgery
Removing skin cancer layer by layer, checking each one under a microscope before going further, which spares the most healthy tissue.
Before booking, ask whether the practice performs Mohs in-house or refers patients out, since many dermatology offices do the latter and that is worth knowing ahead of time. Also ask what reconstruction options are available after the removal, and whether that is handled by the same physician or a separate referral.
Ask about. Whether the surgeon is fellowship trained in Mohs, and who performs the repair afterwards.
Worth knowing. Not every dermatology practice offers Mohs. Many refer it out, which is normal and worth knowing before you book.
General medical dermatology
The everyday medical side of the specialty, from prescriptions to ongoing management, as opposed to cosmetic work.
Ask upfront whether the practice accepts your specific insurance plan and whether the physician who manages ongoing conditions is the same one you will see at each visit. If you are coming for a prescription renewal or a chronic skin condition, confirm whether the office handles refills between appointments or requires a visit each time.
Ask about. Whether the practice takes your insurance for medical visits, since some cosmetic-focused clinics do not.
Worth knowing. A practice can be excellent at cosmetic work and not take medical insurance at all. They are different businesses under one roof.
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin
Softening lines that come from movement, most often forehead, frown and crow's feet.
Ask who will actually hold the needle, whether that is the physician or a supervised injector, and whether the physician will be on site during your appointment. Also ask for the total number of units the practice recommends for your areas of concern before agreeing, since the unit count drives the full cost.
Ask about. Who injects, and if it is not the physician, who supervises and whether they are on site.
Worth knowing. Results build over about two weeks, so judging it the next day is judging it too early.
Juvederm, Restylane and other HA fillers
Adding volume where it has been lost, or shaping lips, cheeks and the area under the eyes.
Ask the practice whether hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if you are unhappy with the result, and confirm they keep the dissolving agent on hand. Before your appointment, ask to see before-and-after photos of their own patients with a skin tone similar to yours, rather than manufacturer imagery.
Ask about. Which product they are using and why, since the filler chosen for cheeks is not the one for tear troughs.
Worth knowing. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if you dislike the result, which is a real advantage over permanent products.
Sculptra and collagen stimulators
Building volume gradually by prompting your own collagen, rather than filling immediately.
Ask the practice to walk you through the full series of sessions they recommend and what the daily massage routine involves after each one. Because results build gradually over months, ask at the consultation how long before a visible change is typically noticeable so your expectations match the actual timeline.
Ask about. How many sessions are planned and what the total cost is, since this is priced as a course rather than a single visit.
Worth knowing. It works slowly on purpose. If you want to see a change tomorrow, this is the wrong product.
Kybella
Reducing fullness under the chin by breaking down fat in that specific area.
Ask the practice to describe the swelling in honest terms, including how many days it typically peaks and whether patients find it limits daily activity. Also ask how many sessions they anticipate for your specific situation and what the plan is if you need more than the initial estimate.
Ask about. How many sessions they expect and what the swelling looks like in week one.
Worth knowing. The downtime is the honest objection here, and any clinic that describes it as a lunchtime treatment is glossing over it.
CO2 ablative resurfacing
The most aggressive resurfacing option, used for deeper lines, texture and sun damage.
Ask the practice exactly what the aftercare routine looks like day by day for the first week, and confirm how strict the sun avoidance requirement is and for how long. Also ask who performs the treatment and whether the physician is present during the procedure, since operator training matters significantly with this level of resurfacing.
Ask about. Who operates the laser, whether the physician is present, and what the aftercare actually requires.
Worth knowing. Strict sun avoidance afterwards is not optional, and it is what most often goes wrong with this treatment.
Fraxel and fractional non-ablative lasers
Improving texture, tone and sun damage with far less downtime than ablative resurfacing.
Because this area has real winters with limited sun exposure, fall through early spring tends to be the most practical window for fractional laser treatments, since the reduced daily sun makes the required aftercare easier to manage. Ask the practice what sun protection routine they expect you to follow in the weeks after each session.
Ask about. Which specific device they use, since Fraxel is a brand and the settings matter more than the name.
Worth knowing. The middle option: more than IPL, much less than CO2, and the one most people are actually looking for.
IPL and photofacials
Evening out brown spots and redness from sun exposure, across the face, chest and hands.
The warm, humid summers here bring meaningful sun exposure, which makes IPL a better fit for the cooler months when you can more easily avoid sun in the days following treatment. Before booking, make sure the practice asks about your skin tone, since IPL carries a real risk of pigment change on darker skin types and a practice that raises this first is one that takes it seriously.
Ask about. Whether IPL is appropriate for your skin tone, because it is not safe on all of them.
Worth knowing. IPL carries real risk on darker skin types. A practice that asks about your skin type before booking is doing it right.
Nd:YAG and vascular lasers
Treating visible vessels, redness and some pigment, and used for laser hair removal.
Ask the practice whether the Nd:YAG laser they use is appropriate for your skin tone and what the expected redness looks like in the day or two after treatment. If you are considering this for hair removal, ask how many sessions they typically recommend for your hair and skin combination before you commit to a course.
Ask about. Whether the operator is trained for your skin type, since these devices are where burns happen when they are not.
Worth knowing. Safer across darker skin tones than IPL, which is often the reason it is chosen.
Picosecond lasers for tattoo removal
Breaking up tattoo ink, and also used for stubborn pigment.
Ask the practice to evaluate your specific tattoo, including its colors and age, and give you a realistic session range rather than a minimum number. Find out what the blistering and scabbing aftercare involves between sessions, and ask what their policy is if fading slows significantly before the estimated number of sessions is complete.
Ask about. How many sessions they estimate for your ink colours, because greens and light blues are the difficult ones.
Worth knowing. Nobody can promise complete removal. Colour, depth and age of the tattoo all decide the outcome.
Microneedling with radiofrequency
Tightening and improving texture using needles plus heat, on a wider range of skin tones than most lasers.
Ask the practice which device they use and whether the physician or a trained provider performs the treatment, since technique affects how consistent the results are across sessions. Also ask what the redness and swelling typically look like by day two or three so you can plan around any commitments that week.
Ask about. Whether it is done by the physician or a delegated provider, and what depth settings they use.
Worth knowing. One of the few resurfacing options generally considered appropriate across all skin types.
The questions worth asking, and the two you can check yourself
Who is legally allowed to inject or operate a laser differs by state and changes over time, so the honest thing a directory can offer is the questions rather than the rules. A good practice answers all six without hesitating.
Who will actually perform the treatment?
At many practices a nurse, physician assistant or aesthetician performs injectables and laser work under a physician's delegation. That can be perfectly good care, but you should know before you are in the chair rather than after.
Will a physician be on site while it is done?
On-site supervision requirements differ by state and by procedure. Asking the question tells you both the answer and how comfortable the practice is being asked.
Is the physician board certified in dermatology?
Any licensed physician may legally call themselves a skin or cosmetic specialist. Board certification through the American Board of Dermatology is the specific credential, and it can be verified for free.
Check board certification (ABMS Certification Matters)Is the license active, with no board actions?
Every physician is licensed by a state medical board, and the boards' national lookup shows the license and any actions taken against it. It is free and takes a minute, and it is the one check a practice cannot answer for you.
Look up a doctor's license (DocInfo)What happens if something goes wrong, and who handles it?
Filler occlusions and laser burns are rare but real, and they are time-critical. The answer should be a named physician and a same-day route to them, not a voicemail box.
Is this device appropriate for my skin type?
Several light-based devices carry real risk of burns or pigment change on darker skin. A practice that raises this before you do is one that has thought about it.
What is the total cost, including the sessions after this one?
Injectables are quoted per unit and devices are often sold as a course. The number that matters is the whole plan, not the first appointment.
General information about what these treatments involve, not medical advice, and not a statement of what any state permits. Verify board certification with the American Board of Dermatology and check scope-of-practice rules with your state medical board.
When to book a dermatologist in Jericho
Spring
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and screening demand spikes; book annual skin checks ahead of it.
Summer
Most laser and peel treatments need sun avoidance afterward, so summer is consult season, not treatment season.
Fall
The start of laser and resurfacing season: less sun exposure means safer healing, and offices book up fast.
Winter
Peak cosmetic season, plus December FSA dollars expiring; injectable appointments before holidays fill weeks out.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a dermatologist is board certified?
Board certification in dermatology is a specific credential you can verify free at certificationmatters.org. A medical license alone does not make someone a dermatologist, so that check matters more here than in most fields. Links to both the certification lookup and the state medical board's public discipline records are on this page so you can confirm both in a few minutes before you book.
Which laser treatments have the least downtime?
Among the device options on this page, IPL and photofacials come with roughly one to two days of looking flushed, while Nd:YAG and vascular lasers bring redness and mild swelling for about a day or two. Fractional non-ablative lasers like Fraxel sit in the middle, with a sandpaper texture for three to seven days. Always ask the practice whether a given device is appropriate for your specific skin tone before booking.
How long does Mohs surgery take?
Mohs surgery is a same-day procedure that removes skin cancer layer by layer, with each layer checked under a microscope before going further. Plan on a half day at the office, and sometimes longer depending on how many layers are needed. Stitches and healing typically run two to four weeks. Not every dermatology practice performs Mohs, so ask when you call whether they do it in-house or refer it out.
Do these dermatologists cover areas near Jericho?
The practices ranked here are located in and around Nassau County, and several are in neighboring towns like Syosset and Greenvale. Borealis Dermatology is listed with a Syosset address and Mandel Dermatology with a Greenvale address, both close to Jericho. Each company sets its own service area, so call or submit a quote request to confirm they are seeing patients from your specific location.
Can a dermatologist remove a tattoo completely?
Picosecond laser sessions for tattoo removal are typically spaced six to eight weeks apart, and most tattoos require six to ten or more sessions before significant fading occurs. After each session expect blistering and scabbing for about a week.
Is cosmetic dermatology covered by insurance?
Medical visits such as skin checks, biopsies and prescription management are usually billed to medical insurance, while cosmetic treatments are always out of pocket. Injectables are priced per unit or per syringe, so ask for the total cost across all areas before you agree to anything. Laser and device treatments are often sold as a course of sessions, so ask for the full package price, not just the first appointment.
