Welcome to Park Slope Dermatology
During your entire visit at Park Slope Dermatology & MediSpa, you receive a holistic experience bound to improve your mental and physical wellness. Upon entry, you will be instantly soothed by our mesmerizing tropical aquarium, designed and maintained by Carey Holder, Dr. Holder’s brother, a former Park Slope kid like Dr. Holder, and an esteemed aquarist. Carey enjoys contributing to his sister’s practice by hand selecting the most beautiful fish and coral to bring the beauty and harmony of an aquatic ecosystem to the office. Aquariums perfectly complement medical offices as they are proven to lower your heart rate and blood pressure and reduce stress.
Enjoy nature in our waiting area, which is an interactive, healing botanical garden where you can pick and juice your own vegetables, plant your own flowers, or simply enjoy the fragrant aromas and chirping birds.
While waiting, you will be sitting underneath our pergola, designed with your sun-protection in mind. At Park Slope Dermatology & Medi-Spa, we advocate for sun safety to ensure that every patient leaves their appointment with the best sunscreen suited for their skin type.

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.

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. read less

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! read less

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 read less

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. read less

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. read less

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. read less

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. read less

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! read less

Our 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 office.
“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.
