Services
We are dedicated to providing personalized services with the highest level of quality and care. We offer cosmetic injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers, as well as medical grade skin care treatments for cosmetic enhancement and skin rejuvenation. Each treatment is customized to meet your individual needs and expectations.
This type of appointment is focused on medical dermatology concerns and can range from our providers evaluating one particular spot to a full skin cancer screening exam if medically indicated, a new or long term problem, or other medical skin issues. Listed below are some of the more common medical conditions treated at Saybrook Dermatology.
KYBELLA is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
Broadband Light (BBL) is a form of Intense Pulse Light (IPL) that delivers a photofacial with superior results. The BBL, made by Sciton, is one of the most powerful IPL machines available. BBL treats brown spots, broken blood vessels, and sun-damaged skin. Skin tone and texture improve as color evens out and skin brightens.
Microneedling with our FDA approved Eclipse Micropen Elite is a highly effective facial rejuvenating treatment with very little downtime. It is used for improvement of wrinkles and acne scars. The device creates hundreds of superficial micro-channels into the skin every few seconds. This stimulates the skin's natural ability to heal itself.

Dr. Higginson was excellent, as was her staff. They all were friendly, professional, courteous as well as caring. I felt welcomed, and didn't feel "rushed" through the examination process! Other practices should take notes!

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr Higganson. She is kind, caring, professional, and right on top of latest knowledge. I trust very much with my life. She found Melanoma with a fantastic outcome due to her finding it so early.

Called for an appointment to have a few spots checked on my legs and a full body scan . The office schedule worker after checking my info informed me that since I haven't been there in 5 years I am considering a new patient and I have to re-establish info with them .Also I would not be able to be seen till October ( 4 months) . I personally find it unfair that since someone has not had problems and is not using their services is considered a " New Patient" I had a great experience with Dr. Grey previously. I have no choice but I will have to find a new dermatologist.

A few days before I left for Italy for my dream wedding. I woke up with a HUGE ZIT on my forehead. I went to this practice and everyone was wonderful. Alicia Beck is awesome. One time, I had my kids with me flustered, as they ran a muck, the woman booking my appointment was so nice, telling me about her children and how fast it goes by.
A few days ago, I received a bill for $50 for a missed appointment that I had made the year before. I called the following Monday to say that I didn’t even know I had the appointment and I never received a reminder letter or call. The office manager told me that

I am so glad I found this office. I have a skin condition that reappears every summer and this was the first year I ended up here. Everyone I have interacted with from scheduling my first appointment to working with my provider, Alicia, has been so kind and helpful. They are efficient- my total time spent there is about thirty minutes, including sitting in the waiting room to the procedure Alicia preforms and scheduling a follow up. I have had a wonderful experience here and I recommend it to anyone asking about a dermatologist. Thank you to Alicia Beck and the staff at Saybrook Dermatology.
