Medical Dermatology
Comprehensive Medical Dermatology for Elmhurst Families
At Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, we provide thorough diagnosis and treatment for the full range of skin, hair, and nail conditions. Since 2008, families from across Queens, including Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Corona, have relied on our practice for personalized dermatologic care that prioritizes accuracy and lasting results.
Our medical dermatology services address the conditions Elmhurst residents encounter most:
- Chronic inflammatory conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea require consistent, expert management. Dr. Paltiel develops individualized treatment plans using topical therapies, phototherapy, or systemic medications tailored to each patient’s condition severity, medical history, and daily routine.
- Skin cancer screening is one of the most important services we provide. Dr. Paltiel performs comprehensive full-body examinations and has extensive experience with traditional surgical excisions as well as Mohs micrographic surgery, a highly precise technique that removes cancerous cells layer by layer while preserving the maximum amount of healthy tissue.
- We diagnose and treat common concerns including warts, moles, rashes, fungal infections, and age spots for patients of all ages. Each condition receives a methodical evaluation to ensure an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan.
True to our name, we treat patients from infancy through adulthood. Our pediatric dermatology services provide gentle, reassuring care for children with eczema, birthmarks, molluscum, and teenage acne. Elmhurst families can bring every member of the household to a single, trusted practice.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Cosmetic and Aesthetic Treatments Near Elmhurst
You do not need to travel into Manhattan for professional cosmetic dermatology. Our Forest Hills office offers a full menu of aesthetic and cosmetic treatments performed by board-certified providers. Elmhurst residents can access these services just minutes from home:
- Facials for Deep Skin Renewal: Our professional facials go well beyond what you find at a day spa. Performed under medical supervision, our facial treatments are customized to address your specific skin type and concerns, whether that includes congested pores, dullness, dehydration, or uneven texture. We use clinical-grade products and techniques to deliver visible improvement in skin clarity and smoothness.
- Skin Tightening for Firmer Contours: As skin loses elasticity with age, non-surgical skin tightening treatments offer a way to restore firmness without incisions or downtime. Our practice uses advanced energy-based devices that stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, gradually improving laxity in the face, neck, jawline, and body. Dr. Paltiel and our team evaluate your skin’s condition to recommend the most appropriate approach for natural-looking results.
- PRP Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation: Platelet-rich plasma PRP therapy uses your body’s own growth factors to promote tissue repair and collagen production. We draw a small amount of blood, concentrate the platelets, and apply the PRP to targeted areas to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and support healing. PRP can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with microneedling for enhanced results.
Vein Treatment for Spider and Varicose Veins: Visible veins on the legs and face can be both a cosmetic concern and a source of discomfort. Our vein treatment [link to /vein-treatment/] options address spider veins and small varicose veins through targeted procedures that reduce their appearance and improve circulation. Our providers assess the underlying cause and recommend a treatment plan designed for lasting improvement.
