My goal is to provide natural-looking, subtle enhancements that make you look rested with radiant skin.

Philosophy

As the proud owner of Dermatology Associates of Rochester, a practice that was started by her father more than 30 years ago, dermatologist Dr. Lesley C. Loss says treating patients like family is the foundation of her work. “At an early age, I saw how much he loved his career as a dermatologist and I was inspired to do the same,” she explains. It’s this foundation that has allowed her to provide patients with a home away from home to treat their aesthetic needs. “We’ve been performing facial rejuvenations with Botox Cosmetic, fillers and lasers for almost 20 years, and now have a dedicated cosmetic center for these procedures and a medspa where we offer medical-grade skin-care products and noninvasive services,” she adds. In addition to cosmetic dermatology services, Dr. Loss and her team participate in numerous clinical trials for new treatments for conditions like acne, psoriasis and hyperhidrosis.

patient after their procedure
How do you manage patient expectations?

I do my best to understand what
each patient would like to achieve
and provide a candid assessment of
how I can help them. I then ask them
to share with me their understanding
of our conversation so that I know we
have communicated clearly with one
another. I also make sure to advise
them of the benefits as well as the
limitations of their treatment
What are you doing differently today for facial rejuvenation?

Combining various treatments,

community by engaging in teaching

positions with several aesthetic
device manufacturers and presenting

The quote “Be kind, for everyone
you meet is fighting a hard battle”
has resonated with me and I think
it is our duty as human beings to
help one another
How do you manage patient expectations?

Through education, information
and talking to them about what
their procedure can and cannot do
