My Family and I have been under Dr Holder's care for over 20 years. My wife, 2 daughters and I each have had excellent experiences with Dr Holder over the years. We value her care so much that we prefer to travel from Long Island and Connecticut to Dr Holder's Brooklyn office. We have been unsuccessful finding a Dermatologist closer to us that we appreciate and trust as much as Dr Holder. In summary, my family and I have an excellent 20 year history and enthusiastically recommend Dr Holder. Hiram Matthews

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Holder, her staff, and her practice as a whole. Dr. Holder has helped me with multiple skin concerns and the results have been amazing. My skin finally feels healthy thanks to her. I always feel so cared for in her hands; she takes the time to listen to me and my concerns, and to explain the science behind what’s going on with my skin. I trust her completely and couldn’t recommend her more.

I am very impressed by Park Slope Dermatology, Dr. Holder and her entire team. Dr. Holder listened to my concerns about my skin and helped develop a plan that is personalized to meet my needs. Dr Holder put me at ease right away with her professionalism and excellent bedside manner. I have received so many compliments on my skin since receiving Botox and laser hair removal at Park Slope Dermatology.

My experience with Dr. Holder has been AMAZING! Simply put - no more rx creams for the melasma after 2 Fraxel sessions. Her approach to the treatment is both mentally and physically calming and relaxing. I don't generally write reviews and selfishly, I love the notion of best kept secrets when it comes to skincare... but Dr. Holder is someone I'm compelled to share with the world. She's extremely experienced and above all, it's her energy. Her personal touch and kind/humane approach is absolutely unmatched. She truly is a hidden gem nestled in Park Slope.

Dr. Holder and her staff, are an amazing team of highly skilled professionals who provide excellent and high touch patient care that is extremely hard to find these days. I trust their team explicitly to help me with whatever issues I’m coming for. I couldn’t recommend this practice more. A bonus is that every employee is a wonderful, highly intelligent, humorous and empathic person. It reflects how intentionally this practice was built!

Dr. Brigitte Holder has been my dermatologist since 2013. She has treated me successfully for conditions on my face & scalp. I've had dermabrasion, chemical peels & Fraxel during the course of the years I've been her patient. The regimen of skin products she gave me over the years have helped me immensely. I find her to be a very hard worker, very compassionate, very thorough and meticulous in her care & treatment. She is not a physician who mainly focuses on her computer screen. She gives attention to her patients as she should. She really listens, examines, investigates & devises solutions & remedies for the problem. She takes her time during an appointment and never rushes you out of the office. I once had a condition on my toes for which I was being treated by my podiatrist and Dr. Holder & my podiatrist spoke to each other and both agreed on a treatment plan because it did involve my skin. That condition healed quickly and to this day has never returned. The other evening I met an older male coworker who told me that throughout all the years he's known me he doesn't think I've aged much. He said my skin & face look so beautiful, so young. His compliment really put a smile on my face. I made sure he knew that when he complimented me he also complimented my dermatologist Dr. Brigitte Holder. It is such a pleasure to have her as my doctor!!!

My experience at Park Slope Dermatology and Medi Spa has been excellent. I received a laser treatment for my face and my skin condition has improved significantly, looking healthier, tighter, smoother, and having fewer blemishes. I really appreciate Dr Holder taking her time to explain the procedure and providing almost painless treatment. She is professional, knowledgeable, and has exceptional skills. All staff members are kind and helpful. They really make sure I am comfortable at all times. I am so glad I found this place close to my home. I highly recommend this place.

After recently developing sudden breakouts of acne despite years of clear skin, I tried many over the counter treatments without any results. My breakouts were persistent and often, leaving behind red marks that would not fade. Additionally, I developed some darker spots from over-treating my skin in an effort to clear the acne. However, after just a few chemical peel treatments, Dr. Holder has almost completely healed my acne and has gotten rid of the red and dark spots. Dr. Holder and her team provide highly skilled and compassionate care in a relaxing and comfortable environment. Dr. Holder took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and addressed each one. She also spent time thoroughly explaining the science behind my skin and treated all aspects of my acne with both chemical peels and a daily skincare regimen. I highly recommend Dr. Holder to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and caring dermatologist. My experience was characterized by a level of empathy and professionalism that sets Dr. Holder and her staff apart. She is the only person I trust with my skin!

Dr. Holder was highly recommended to me by a friend. I am so pleased that I acted on their recommendation. Dr. Holder is knowledgeable about the latest and best procedures in her field, while at the same time, putting me at ease with her good old fashioned bedside manner. And, that healing garden is nectar to my soul after every procedure! As my friend did for me, I highly recommend Park Slope Dermatology & Medi-Spa.

Dr. Holder is the best. She’s responsible for me being ageless! She gives great advice about skin products and procedures. Never recommends too much. She operates with the utmost care. I always leave with minimal bruising and redness after a procedure and she is meticulous in every way. I could not recommend her and her very professional practice more highly

By chance I happened upon Park Slope Dermatology and Dr. Brigitte Holder for Botox. What an amazing happenstance! Dr. Holder and her staff are so welcoming, warm and professional. Everything was explained step by step. Dr. Holder evaluated my skin, and mad recommendations for additional services without any pressure. After my procedure I was treated to introduction to the beautiful, serene garden in the back. I am a very satisfied customer, and will definitely be back. I wholeheartedly recommend Park Slope Dermatology and Dr. Holder.

Dr Holder is amazing, I had such great results! She treated red and brown sun damage on my neckline, with Fraxel V laser. I have very fair skin and it cleared up beautifully after just one session and looks so much younger. Highly recommend her work, she is very precise and skilled dermatologist.

I have been super happy with my experience at Park Slope Dermatology. Dr. Holder is knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. I was referred to her by a local dermatologist for post-baby/sun exposure hyperpigmentation who believed she has the right combination of lasers and expertise to take my skin. Within three visits, my hyperpigmentation is virtually gone (it's truly like a best case scenario before and after picture). Her mix of caution, experience and attention to results ensures that you get the results you want with minimum downtime. I would put my trust in her for any and all skincare needs.

Dr. Holder and her team were incredible, thorough, thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Holder answered every question I had and didn’t think to ask, and she and her team made me totally comfortable from pre to post-visit. I’m amazed at the results of my Fraxel laser facials in terms of texture, tone and improvement in sun damage spots. My skin feels brighter and tighter with each visit, and the results are meaningful and long lasting. I am so thankful I found Dr. Holder and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Been coming here for a few years now and Dr Holder feels like extended family. She has gotten my adult cystic acne under control in ways no dermatologist was able to achieve previously. The chemical peels are a life saver, and I'm so glad my introduction to forehead Botox was through Park Slope Medi Spa. Now they have extended the property into the back garden area which it's beautiful for waiting (I always arrive early). The florals and trees feel like a small sanctuary; the perfect place to relax before getting anything done, and I always leave feeling glowing about myself. I wish I could attach photos of the garden to this review, but you'll have to see it for yourself

UPDATED: GREAT RESULTS IN COOL SCULPTING! Even three weeks after, I just took the best picture of me in ages. I could not believe it, I was just looking at my smile and my face as it should be! Folks, I have had my dad's double chin since I was 5. Even with a healthy lifestyle, healthy weight and exercise, there it was ruining photos and aging me. Well, just THREE weeks later, (three more to go) I took the best picture I have EVER. I saw the results. They take such great care of you, they listen, they laugh, they don't judge or upsell, they jsy want you comfy in their office and in your own skin. I had to come back to let anyone who is considering cool sculpt, that I am over the moon with the results. THANK YOU DR HOLDER AND AMAZING STAFF! __________________ #1 I have been in New York for almost 30 years. Not only do I feel like this place is the "Cheers" of derma spas, I felt like I got the best service and quality of care in memory. That alone should be enough, but the modern and comfortable decor is thoughtful as it lends itself to conversation, you forget it's "let the treatment sink in" room. Their COVID policies are on point and they manage to make it comfortable. This business matters. I will always opt for a business operated and staffed by women of color. But hear this... I am now a lifetime client because Dr. Holder is the best - hands down, but it matters to me and I hope it matter to you, too. Kick those pandemic wrinkles to the curb, inspect that mole or banish that swirly back hair (ew) HERE.

Let me start off by saying Dr. Holder is absolutely amazing. It’s taken years — as a woman of color, to find a dermatologist who is also a POC and understands my skin and the risks I have with certain treatments. I’ve been getting Fraxel treatments with Dr. Holder every 6 weeks since January for my acne scarring, ,the results are amazing thus far. Dr. Holder is very knowledgeable about Fraxel and has done many case studies and research globally about the skin treatment. I always know I’m in good hands when I go to her! The whole office (Kelly & Dr. Holder), both make you feel so welcome when you come here and they make talking about your skin issues more welcoming versus other dermatologist. I would most definitely recommend to anyone + she is just the sweetest person ever.

Writing this after my second visit at Dr. Holder’s practice. I came in after a severe and unexpected break out. Most importantly, my skin’s condition and overall feeling have shifted completely within a couple weeks. There’s no magic - from my experience, it really comes down to devotedly following a healthy regimen. Dr. Holder recommended one that works for me and helps me see the beauty of my skin, rather than its flaws. She’s extremely knowledgeable and devoted, very committed to achieving positive and visible results, and thorough. Maintenance of a healthy, vibrant looking skin is just as important to me as the immediate impact, which is why I booked peeling sessions with the practice for the next 6 months or so. Feeling good is priceless. Beyond that, the staff is lovely, and the overall experience is of attention to detail and high awareness to personal hygiene. Highly recommend a visit.

UPDATE: So I’ve been seeing Dr holder for years. I was just in a show with a bunch of 20-26 year olds. When they found out my age they were SHOCKED I was much older than they were! My skin lookeed so good they thought i was their age!. The doctor is so nice and the results are FANTASTIC! I got botox in my armpits (which is really hard to find someone who does this). The doctor explained everything to me beforehand, and numbed the area beforehand, which helped so much. I felt nothing during the procedure and it lasted for 7 months!!!! Love her and I'm going back very soon.

Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Holder and her practice! First of all, they have been very good during during the pandemic to follow protocol and make sure patients feel safe. Second, Dr. Holder and her staff are both friendly and professional; I always look forward to catching up with everyone during my appointments. I started seeing Dr. Holder last summer, when I was beginning to experience hair loss (which I now know was due to stress). I was extremely concerned, as I was getting married in less than a year! She was very thorough, explaining the science behind everything she was doing, and investigated every option to make sure there were no underlying medical conditions that might be causing the hair loss. I have been receiving treatment every few months for the past year, and I am very pleased with my results so far. I notice my hair is thicker overall, and my part is thinner. And my hair looked great in my wedding photos! I know that hair regrowth is a slow process, but I am committed to continuing with the treatments until I am back to what I had pre-pandemic. Thank you, Dr. Holder!

Our Healing Garden: A Slice of Paradise
Not everyone has access to a garden. Even if only for an hour-long office visit, I wanted to integrate a healing green space into my treatment plan. We have done this. In the healing garden, the art and science of medicine unite. Horticulture, community gardening, nutritional sciences, and medicine come together to achieve one outcome – phenomenal patient care. Now we are juicing the cucumbers from our garden into a refreshing drink for our patients. We have cultivated an abundant vegetable and herb garden from which patients are harvesting and bringing healthy pickings home. My patients are saying to me that after spending time in the garden, they are inspired to create their own green spaces. My precious mother’s passion for gardening is contagious and is being passed down to my patients. I want this healing space to become your sanctuary when you step into my private practice in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn.
“Come and see, smell the trees, and sip the medicinal lemongrass tea. The sound of the birds and buzzing of the bees will fill your mind and body with inner peace and you will feel healed and be unquestionably free.”
– Dr. Holder
Park Slope Dermatology has state of the art lasers to treat cosmetic issues for all skin types. Dr. Holder works with each individual to enhance their vision of beauty. The Fraxel re:store is Dr. Holder’s laser of choice for skin restoration. Imagine erasing the signs of aging including: sun damage, pore size, fine lines and wrinkles, while also improving skin tone and texture. Fraxel re:store reduces acne scarring and hyperpigmentation (discoloration, dark spots, blemishes, blotchiness, and spottiness), treats melasma and actinic keratoses, tightens skin and minimizes stretch marks. The ExcelV Laser tackles facial veins, spider veins, venous lakes (blue spots on lip), new sun damage, photo-aged skin, red scars, rosacea, warts. Laser Genesis addresses skin of color including hyperpigmentation as well as diffuse redness in other skin types. The Light Sheer INFINITY Laser focuses on all skin tones including blondes, redheads, and darker skin tones— all of which have been traditionally excluded from laser hair removal. This procedure is fast and painless. Ingrown hairs is a common complaint that this laser treats. Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) is a medical condition that meshes cosmetic and medical dermatology. Quite often various physician subspecialties will collaborate with a dermatologist to treat the stubborn acne and hirsutism in which it may present. Light Sheer INFINITY can play a role in the treatment.
As a medical dermatologist Dr. Holder is particularly noted for her impressive results in treating adolescent and adult acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hair loss, nail treatment and diagnoses of rashes. Her success is due to her plethora of experience nationally and internationally in both research and clinical practice.
