About Andrea Thompson, PA-C
Andrea Thompson, PA-C is a board-certified Physician Assistant and has been with Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center, PLLC almost since its inception. She enjoys sharing her cosmetic dermatology expertise with the Revive Medical Spa, LLC side of our business.
She continues to grow her general and cosmetic dermatology practice, with treatments including Filler, Botox, RF Microneedling, and laser skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. Though Andrea sees patients with any dermatologic issues, Andrea’s passion is providing state-of-the-art treatments that rejuvenate and revive one’s appearance and skin. She is continuously expanding her cosmetic practice and consulting with Revive Medical Spa, LLC.
“In order to create a skin rejuvenation plan, I begin with a consultation to determine one’s individual concerns and budget. If budget is a concern an inexpensive, effective approach is to implement the base of the pyramid, pictured below. Tretinoin (Retin A) for example helps with cell turnover and should be used for life. It’s best to invest into products that are distributed from your dermatologist. Science-based research is key when investing into your skincare in order to get the most effective treatments.”
“No age is too late to achieve a more youthful appearance”, states Andrea. “Enhancing your own natural beauty, improving your complexion, helping an area that makes you self-conscious… that’s my passion. It will help to build confidence, and a more confident you is beautiful!” says Andrea. “There is so much science and research happening in the area of cosmetic dermatology; it really is amazing!”
