Black Dermatologist in NYC | Specialize Care for Skin of Color

Comprehensive Dermatology for Skin of Color in New York City

Skin of color dermatology is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions in people of African, Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Native American descent. At Aglow Dermatology, we understand the unique dermatological needs of diverse skin types and provide expert care tailored to each patient.

New York City is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world, and as the U.S. population continues to diversify, dermatology has taken a leading role in addressing the unique challenges faced by people of color. Certain skin conditions present differently on darker skin tones and require specialized treatment approaches. Additionally, cultural grooming practices can influence dermatological health, making it essential to seek care from a dermatologist who understands these nuances.

Expert Treatments for Skin of Color

At Aglow Dermatology, we provide cutting-edge treatments for a variety of skin and hair concerns affecting people of color, including:

Medical Dermatology

• Acne & Hyperpigmentation: People with darker skin tones are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Our tailored acne treatments help prevent and treat dark spots effectively.
• Eczema & Psoriasis: These conditions often present differently in darker skin tones, sometimes leading to misdiagnosis. Dr. Strachan ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans.
• Skin Cancer Screening: While skin cancer rates are lower in people of color, early detection is crucial. Certain types, like cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, are more common in darker skin.
• Keloid & Scar Treatment: People with melanin-rich skin have a higher tendency to develop keloids. We offer effective treatment options, including laser therapy and corticosteroid injections.

Hair & Scalp Disorders

• Hair Loss & Alopecia: Conditions like Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) disproportionately affect Black women. Dr. Strachan is an expert in diagnosing and treating hair loss in patients of all backgrounds.
• Traction Alopecia: A common issue due to tight hairstyles, we offer treatments like Alma TED therapy to stimulate hair regrowth.
• Dandruff & Scalp Conditions: Seborrheic dermatitis and other scalp conditions can present differently on textured hair. We provide specialized treatments to keep your scalp healthy.

Cosmetic Dermatology for Skin of Color

• Laser Treatments: Many traditional lasers are not safe for darker skin tones. We use advanced technologies, like the Aerolase laser system, designed specifically for melanin-rich skin.
• Chemical Peels & Skin Rejuvenation: We offer customized peels, including the VI Peel, to treat hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin tone safely.
• RF Microneedling: A cutting-edge treatment to reduce acne scars and improve skin texture without risking hyperpigmentation.
