CDERMA / Centro de Dermatología Avanzadaでの腫瘍専門医の診察

CDERMA, known as the Centro de Dermatología Avanzada, is a multi-specialty dermatology center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Established in 2019, the clinic treats medical skin conditions, aesthetic concerns, and pediatric cases. Dr. Leyla Guzmán Abreu founded the facility to provide surgical and clinical care through personalized protocols.

Medical and Surgical Dermatology

The clinic focuses on early detection and treatment of skin cancers. Specialists screen for melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Diagnostic methods include:

• Digital dermoscopy and mole mapping
• Punch biopsy for tissue analysis
• Dermatoscopy for detailed lesion evaluation
• Oncological consultations to design treatment plans

Surgery is the primary treatment for melanoma at the center. For basal cell carcinoma, surgeons remove the tumor through resection. The team also uses Mohs microsurgery to treat complex skin cancers while sparing healthy tissue.

Patients with non-melanoma skin cancers may receive alternative therapies. These include electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, and local chemotherapy. The clinic also treats chronic inflammatory conditions like rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis.

Aesthetic Dermatology and Facial Rejuvenation

CDERMA provides non-surgical lifting using Ultraformer III HIFU. This FDA-approved technology uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to tighten the face and neck. The clinic also uses HIFU MPT and Volnewmer for skin firmness.

For facial harmonization, the center offers the Angelina Package. Specialists use facial measurements to place dermal fillers via cannulas. Topical anesthesia is applied first for patient comfort.

The clinic maintains a range of branded dermal fillers for individualized facial correction:

• Restylane
• Juvederm
• Radiesse
• Belotero

Morpheus8 Burst by InMode is used for body and skin remodeling. This system combines radiofrequency with micro-needles to treat tissue at multiple depths. Specialists also offer Sofwave™, which uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beams to improve skin contour.

Laser Technologies

The clinic uses the Fotona Rosacea Laser to treat vascular lesions. This Nd:YAG laser targets redness without damaging the skin surface. For early signs of aging, the team provides Clear and Brilliant Perméa Laser treatments.

This gentle laser approach reduces downtime compared to aggressive resurfacing. Other light-based therapies include SCITON MOXI and BBL Forever Young. These platforms address skin quality and pigmentation issues like melasma.

Specialized Medical Team

The medical team consists of three specialists focused on clinical and cosmetic care. Founder Dr. Leyla Guzmán Abreu is a certified member of the American Academy of Dermatology. She also belongs to the American Academy of Pediatric Dermatology and the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine.

Dr. Eduardo Sánchez Jorge leads the dermatologic surgery and skin cancer unit. The team reviews all international consultation requests within 24 business hours. This review process matches each patient with a protocol suited to their skin type.

Services for International Patients

International patients receive coordinated care through a dedicated appointment process. A team member contacts patients within 24 business hours of a request. This contact coordinates clinical details and scheduling before the visit. The clinic operates under Dominican Republic law as the Centro de Dermatología Avanzada, SRL.
