Services
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing targets wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture using advanced CO2 and fractional lasers. This treatment stimulates collagen production for smoother, youthful skin. Ideal for patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Botox Injections
Botox injections reduce dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Commonly used for frown lines, crows feet, and forehead creases, results appear within days and last 34 months with proper maintenance.
Skin Cancer Screening
Comprehensive skin cancer screenings involve full-body examinations to detect melanoma and other skin cancers early. Our board-certified dermatologists use dermoscopy and biopsies when necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
IPL Photofacial
IPL photofacials target sun damage, redness, and pigmentation using broad-spectrum light. This non-invasive treatment improves skin tone and texture over multiple sessions, suitable for all skin types with minimal recovery time.
Tattoo Removal
Using Q-switched lasers, tattoo removal breaks down ink particles for gradual elimination. Multiple sessions are required depending on tattoo size, color, and age, with minimal risk to surrounding skin.

Extremely recommend this practice. Dr. Adrien was able to help me solve a problem that other practices have not been able to solve. This practice was very good. I would definitely go back.

This review is long overdue, as I have been absolutely delighted by the service here since my very first appointment in February 2019. The staff here are incredibly kind and understanding. I have received all of my treatments from Kathy, a dermatological nurse with decades of experience. Despite her years of expertise and knowledge, Kathy is incredibly accessible and easy to talk to. Every single time I've seen her (five sessions so far) she has gone well out of her way to ensure my comfort and ease. The cherry on top is that their prices are also very reasonable for the DMV area.

Melanie is beyond phenomenal! I have been to her several times for many different treatments and been satisfied every time. She is very friendly and knows her needle! She is a perfectionist and it shows in her work. I highly recommend her! She really cares about her patients and it shows through her work.

The Center for Laser Surgery is AMAZING. The staff is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable & professional! I've had laser hair removal done there ( after a bad experience somewhere else) Kathy, who's actually a nurse, does my laser hair removal treatment. I love that she is a nurse trained in providing safe and effective laser hair removal. Don't let the price shy you away. It is 100% worth it & you will not regret going!

Today was my first visit and I was coming ready for a facial. Their friendly staff checked me in quickly and Anna came for me within minutes. She was very kind and caring, and I felt as she was very honest with our consultation and made sure all my questions were answered. At the end, the facial I wanted was not the right option for me, but she suggested alternatives that were very well suited for what I was looking for.
On my way out, I had a last-minute question about laser treatment and Melanie, the laser specialist, pulled me aside to address it without the need to come back for a different consultation. I am very happy with how I was treated and I would recommend this practice to anyone.

Came in for a consultation appointment with Dr. Adrian and was seen in under 10mins in the office. I really liked not having to deal with old school paperwork etc, just used the tablet to fill out forms. Dr. Adrian was very nice and recommended few products, I look forward to seeing the results and finally have a clear skin!

Dr. Thomas Adrian is simply amazing! I went with an acne problem which I had for the last 10 years and after trying 2 different treatment options 5 months later my face was completely clear, I am impressed with his work ethic and his knowledge! He also treats a ward on my feet which I had for a few years now and it's almost gone after just several treatments! I am very thankful to him and his assistant Tanya, who is always helping me to prepare before Doctor, she is very helpful and beautiful person!
And new front desk assistant- I believe her name is Emily, she was so nice and helpful to reschedule my appointment for 30 minutes late, since I was running late! Incredible Doctor and wonderful team! They do miracles there and I am happy to be their patient! Thank you all so much! You made me healthy, beautiful, happy and confident about myself!
