About Dr. Fernando Puente, MD
Dr. Puente established Raleigh Dermatology Associates, P.A., in 1990 and began practicing general and cosmetic dermatology at that time. He received his B.A., Master of Science and M.D. from East Carolina University, then completed a family practice residency at the University of South Florida’s College of Medicine and a dermatology residency at King-Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles, where served as chief resident.
Dr. Puente’s expanding and diversified practice afforded him the opportunity to research and design a skin rejuvenation center during the 1990s. He opened Skin Solutions in the spring of 1995 and later renamed it Skin & Cosmetic Solutions. Dr. Puente continues to enrich his medical education by attending the American Academy of Dermatology conferences and meetings and training other physicians in the Tumescent Liposuction technique.
