Top Dermatology Practice in Florida 2026
Certified Cosmetics Dermatology and Laser in West Kendall has been selected by the American Aesthetic Board as one of the Top 10 Aesthetic Providers & Med Spas in Florida for 2026. We are excited to share this news with our patients, neighbors, and colleagues across the greater Miami area to highlight an external recognition of the aesthetic care we provide every day.
The American Aesthetic Board publishes a statewide list that recognizes aesthetic practices and med spas offering high quality cosmetic care. Inclusion on the 2026 Florida list reflects the ongoing work of the Certified Cosmetics team to combine advanced technology, cosmetic dermatology expertise, and a polished patient experience for individuals seeking cosmetic treatments in Miami.
Certified Cosmetics Dermatology and Laser is a cosmetic dermatology and laser center in Miami led by a board certified dermatologist. The practice focuses on advanced laser platforms, injectables, and regenerative skin rejuvenation, with personalized treatment plans that aim for refreshed, natural looking results rather than an overdone appearance. Patients visit from West Kendall and throughout the city for combination protocols that address tone, texture, laxity, and facial sculpting in a coordinated way.
This recognition from the American Aesthetic Board aligns with the practice mission to bring best in class laser technology and expert cosmetic dermatology together under one roof. Certified Cosmetics blends medical level assessment and safety standards with an environment that feels polished and spa like, so patients can pursue aesthetic goals in a setting that is both professional and welcoming.

The American Aesthetic Board is an organization that highlights aesthetic providers and med spas across the country. As part of this work, the board publishes recognition lists by state that showcase practices offering cosmetic and aesthetic services. These lists typically reflect a review of providers within the specialty and are intended to help patients and peers identify clinics that stand out in the aesthetic space.
For 2026, the American Aesthetic Board released a Top 10 Aesthetic Providers & Med Spas in Florida list, and Certified Cosmetics appears on that roster. Readers who would like to see the full lineup of practices and learn more about the board’s criteria can visit the American Aesthetic Board website and review the Florida Top 10 page directly.
The American Aesthetic Board does not publish individual scoring details, but several elements of Certified Cosmetics’ approach align with the type of work that is often highlighted on statewide recognition lists. The following themes summarize how the clinic delivers cosmetic care for patients in Miami.

Every cosmetic treatment at Certified Cosmetics is designed by a board certified dermatologist. This physician led model supports careful evaluation of skin health, precise treatment planning, and direct access to a doctor for questions about safety, effectiveness, and long-term skin strategy.

The clinic brings best in class laser technologies to Miami, including PicoAlex, Mosaic 3D, Lavieen, and DermaV. Many patients are treated with proprietary combination protocols, such as Laser Microneedling and other multi step laser approaches designed to address pigmentation, texture, and redness in the same visit.

Treatments are selected and sequenced with comfort and recovery time in mind. The practice favors modern laser platforms and techniques that emphasize efficient energy delivery, cooling, and topical numbing when appropriate, helping patients pursue aesthetic results while working around busy schedules.

Certified Cosmetics emphasizes direct, unhurried visits, with a focus on listening to patient goals and explaining options in clear language. The team offers care in both English and Spanish, provides free parking, and aims to keep the office experience streamlined so appointments feel accessible and low stress.
Certified Cosmetics was founded by Sergio Gaitan MD FAAD, a board certified dermatologist with advanced training in cosmetic dermatology and lasers. Dr. Gaitan completed his undergraduate studies in chemical engineering at the University of Florida, attended Baylor College of Medicine for medical school, and finished dermatology residency at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. His daily practice centers on cosmetic dermatology, laser treatment combinations, pigmentation concerns, and natural looking facial rejuvenation.
In addition to seeing patients in Miami, Dr. Gaitan is active in education, serves as a speaker and key opinion leader for laser manufacturers, and writes the practice blog on topics in aesthetic medicine. This mix of clinical care, teaching, and technology focused work supports ongoing innovation at the clinic and contributes to the type of profile that can be featured on a Top 10 Aesthetic Providers & Med Spas list.

Third party recognition shows patients who are comparing aesthetic clinics and med spas clinics with specialized distinctions. Being named to a statewide Top 10 list by the American Aesthetic Board adds another layer of reassurance that our practice is engaged in the aesthetic community and committed to a high standard of care.
At the same time, recognition does not replace a personalized consultation or guarantee specific results. Certified Cosmetics continues to prioritize safety, individualized treatment planning, and natural looking outcomes for each person who visits the clinic. This acknowledgment is one more reflection of an ongoing commitment to careful, patient centered aesthetic care in Miami.
The aesthetic services recognized on the American Aesthetic Board list span several categories at Certified Cosmetics. Laser and energy based treatments include options such as PicoAlex for pigmentation, Mosaic 3D and Lavieen for resurfacing, DermaV for redness and vessels, Oligio X for RF Skin Tightening, and Laser Microneedling for tightening and texture. Injectables and skin boosters include Botox, and regenerative options such as Rejuran.
The practice also offers a range of skin treatments, including care for melasma, dark spots, acne, rosacea, and scars, as well as the EVE Facial and microneedling for ongoing skin maintenance. Many patients seek help with concerns like uneven tone, fine lines, redness, scarring, and subtle contour changes, and consultations focus on creating a plan that matches those goals with appropriate technologies and techniques.
