Dermatologist-Led Cosmetic Care In York Region

Looking for a cosmetic dermatologist in Richmond Hill? Our laser, light and injectable treatments are planned by a dermatology clinic, so every plan starts with a medical look at your skin.

At York Dermatology Clinic & Research Centre, your plan accounts for skin type, history and goals, not just the device on the menu. We see patients from Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, Aurora and across York Region.

Because every plan is personalised, we confirm pricing at your consultation, once we know the right treatment, number of sessions and areas. If a concern turns out to be medical, our medical and surgical dermatology team can treat it.

Not covered by OHIP: cosmetic treatments are elective. No referral needed: book a cosmetic consultation directly.

Start With What You'd Like To Improve

Acne Scarring

Rolling, boxcar and icepick scars each respond to different tools; we combine resurfacing, RF microneedling and PRP/PRF.

Birthmarks

Port-wine stains and café-au-lait macules can be lightened with targeted laser energy over a series of sessions.

Rosacea & Redness

Persistent redness and broken capillaries are treated with IPL and vascular laser to calm background redness.

Spider & Leg Veins

Focused laser energy collapses small red and purple veins without harming the surrounding skin.

Sun Damage & Pigmentation

Sun spots, uneven tone and age-related pigment fade with IPL, fractional laser and chemical peels.

Pricing depends on the treatment, the area and how many sessions you need, so we confirm it at your consultation. You leave with a written plan and quote before any treatment is booked, so there are no surprises.

No. You can book a cosmetic consultation directly online or by calling (905) 883-7997. Medical and surgical dermatology appointments do require a referral.

Your plan starts with a medical assessment of your skin, so we can recognise when a concern needs medical care and choose treatments that suit your skin type and history.

It depends on the type of scar. Rolling, boxcar and icepick scars respond to different tools, so we often combine fractional CO2 resurfacing, RF microneedling and PRP/PRF. See acne scar treatment.

Many treatments can be used on darker skin, but the technology and settings need to be chosen carefully to lower the risk of pigment changes. We assess your skin type at your consultation and recommend options that suit it.

Most treatments cause mild, brief discomfort. Depending on the treatment, we may use topical numbing or cooling to keep you comfortable.

It ranges from none for treatments such as Botox or Laser Genesis to several days of redness and crusting after fractional CO2 resurfacing. Your plan explains what to expect for your treatment.

Some treatments need a single visit; others work best as a series. Your written plan sets out the number of sessions for your goals.

It depends on the treatment. Neuromodulators usually last three to six months and fillers about 6 to 18 months, while laser results can last longer with sun protection and maintenance.

We offer Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers, PRP/PRF, CO2 laser resurfacing, IPL, Laser Genesis and Green Genesis, laser hair reduction, tattoo removal with PicoSure Pro and RF microneedling.

Expression lines usually respond to Botox or Dysport, deeper folds and volume loss to dermal fillers, and fine lines and texture to Laser Genesis, RF microneedling or CO2 resurfacing. We recommend the best fit after assessing your skin.

IPL and Green Genesis are often used for persistent redness and broken capillaries. See rosacea and redness treatment. If your rosacea needs medical treatment, our medical dermatology team can help.
