WHILE WE’VE ALL BEEN HIDING BEHIND MASKS IN PUBLIC, OUR FREQUENCY OF VIDEO CONFERENCING HAS GONE INTO OVERDRIVE. The strain of trying to look like we’re managing it all has taken its toll on our faces, bodies and skin. Dr. Green and Dr. Walia of the Aesthetic & Dermatology Center acutely understand this and are here to help!
Founded in 1998 by board-certified dermatologist, Lawrence Green, MD, FAAD, the Aesthetic & Dermatology Center (ADC) of Rockville, Maryland is a dermatology practice unlike any other. ADC’s physicians have repeatedly been voted the top dermatologists in Washington and throughout the MidAtlantic not only because they provide comprehensive, exceptional care to patients with a variety of skin types and conditions, but because they are leading innovators of new medical and aesthetic skin care treatments. ADC’s on-site research facility and Dr. Green’s commitment to ethical clinical trials makes this possible and gives patients first access to the latest in skincare advancements. This high level of care also extends to taking extra safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The entire staff has been vaccinated against COVID-19, making it a safe center for dermatology care for patients in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia.
MEET THE TEAM
Sunny Walia, M.D., FAAD
Dr. Sunny Walia, a native of New Orleans, LA is a board certified dermatologist and dermatologic laser surgeon with over 20 years of experience. She completed her dermatology residency training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, followed by a highly prestigious laser and cosmetic fellowship in DC, where she also served as director of the Dermatologic Laser Surgery at George Washington University. Each year, Dr. Walia has been recognized as Top Doctor by Washingtonian Magazine and US News & World Report.
Having suffered from skin issues herself, Dr. Walia understands the importance of having a caring and dedicated dermatologist can have on an individual’s life. Her expertise in both general dermatology (e.g. total body skin examinations, cancer, acne, skin rashes, and eczema) and anti-aging treatments (e.g. Botox®, dermal fillers, topical skincare, and laser skin rejuvenation) enable her to create a customized treatment plan that truly improves her patients’ skin and overall health. Her keen sense of diagnosis and knowledge of the latest advances in medical and cosmetic dermatology, help her patients look and feel more confident.
One of these customizable treatments is the TotalSkin Solution™, which uses two of powerful devices: the Genius® and the LaseMD®. The Genius® device stimulates new growth of both collagen and elastin in the skin by combining microneedling with radiofrequency technology. This thermal energy is delivered deep into the second layer of the skin or dermis, where it creates precise zones of injury, which allows for increased firmness/tightening of the skin thereby softening wrinkles. During the same treatment session, Dr. Walia then utiizes the LaseMD®, a fractional nonablative laser to erase any photodamage (e.g. sun spots, pigment). The end result gives her patients a more smoother, tighter, and youthful appearance.
Both devices are highly versatile. The Genius® can also be used to tighten certain areas of the body such as: upper arms, inner thighs, and abdomen,) and can help improve the appearance of acne/surgical scars.LaseMD® is also a superb non-surgical option that can also be used to treat thinning hair with minimal pain.
On-site Esthetician Services
Frequently, patients require or may desire additional esthetician services such as: microblading, waxing, facials, and skincare products. Working in tandem with Dr. Green and Dr. Walia, ADC’s licensed clinical esthetician, Chelsea Madill consults with each patient to clearly understand their skincare needs, concerns and goals. From this, she is able to offer the best supporting skincare regime and adjunct treatments, such as dermaplaning, masks and facials, chemical peels, Microdermabrasion, Hydrafacial, Microneedling with PRP, and spider vein treatments.
Madill is devoted to continuing her education to stay on top of trends, new procedures, and new products. For this reason, she researches and tries every product and procedure on herself before recommending it to her patients. She understands that her patients seek change, and it is her joy to inspire her patients and enhance their natural beauty.
