  • Dr. Alexander Gross is a Dermatologic Surgeon.

Technique

  • Dr. Alexander Gross performs tumescent liposuction in their office with local anesthetics, allowing patients to be wide awake and comfortable, which avoids the risks and costs of general anesthesia and an operating room.

Technology

  • Dr. Alexander Gross is Board Certified in Dermatology.

Consultation

  • Dr. Alexander Gross's practice advises that recovery time for fractional CO2 resurfacing varies by treatment depth: light treatment takes 1-2 days, moderate treatment takes about 5 days, and deep treatment takes 7-10 days to heal, with skin potentially remaining pink for another 1-2 weeks.

Safety

  • Dr. Alexander Gross states that tumescent liposuction, as performed by their practice, is very safe with very little downtime, allowing patients to be back on their feet the next day, and results are usually visible in one to two weeks, with complete skin retraction taking a couple of months.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Alexander Gross

Sourced directly from Dr. Alexander Gross's social posts and replies.

What are Dr. Gross's preferred lasers for sensitive skin?
Dr. Gross favors Clear & Brilliant and Cool Peel lasers, both of which are suitable for sensitive skin and offer minimal downtime.
What skincare product brands does Dr. Gross recommend?
Dr. Gross recommends Hydrinity Skincare, Skinbetter, and EltaMD Skincare as favorite product brands.
What is Dr. Gross's approach to Tretinoin use?
Dr. Gross personally uses the 'sandwich method' for Tretinoin application, noting its significant improvement on overall skin health and its effectiveness as an amazing anti-ager.
What are Dysport and Sculptra, and how do they work together?
Dysport is a neuromodulator (like Botox) that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to soften the appearance of movement-related wrinkles. Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable (biostimulator) that works gradually to improve skin firmness, texture, facial volume, and overall skin quality by supporting the skin's natural collagen production over time. Together, these treatments offer a complementary approach to facial rejuvenation.
What are chemical peels, and when is the best time to get them?
Chemical peels work by applying a specialized solution that exfoliates dead surface cells, stimulates cellular turnover, and rebuilds collagen layer by layer. They can reverse summer sun damage, smooth skin texture, and clear hyperpigmentation. While certain chemical peels can be received year-round, the cooler months with less sun exposure are considered the perfect time to start a chemical peel treatment series. Patients interested should schedule a consultation with an expert aesthetician.
What are retinoids, and what is Dr. Gross's approach to them?
Retinoids are a skincare staple that increase skin cell turnover, helping to improve fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, texture, and breakouts. The practice highly recommends AlphaRet by Skinbetter Science, which combines a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to encourage skin renewal and exfoliation while minimizing dryness and irritation. Dr. Gross advises that the best retinoid is the one you can use consistently, and daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential when using them. The team can help patients find the right retinoid option for their skin and goals.
What are the benefits of the Dermaplane + DiamondGlow combo treatment?
The Dermaplane + DiamondGlow combination is suitable for all seasons and is an effective way to refresh, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, helping to maintain a healthy, glowing complexion.
What is Dr. Gross's philosophy on neuromodulator treatments like Baby Botox?
Dr. Gross offers 'Baby Botox' as a conservative neuromodulator approach that uses smaller amounts of product for subtle results. The practice emphasizes that dosage and placement are individualized based on anatomy, muscle movement, and patient goals. They caution that under-treating or focusing on only one area can lead to an imbalance or insufficient muscle relaxation, and their aim is to keep neuromodulator results natural, balanced, and tailored to the patient's anatomy.
What is Tumescent Liposuction, and what are its benefits?
Tumescent liposuction is performed in the office using local anesthesia. The technique involves injecting areas of excess fat with a diluted anesthetic solution before fat removal. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, back, and chin. Compared with traditional liposuction techniques, tumescent liposuction can offer less bleeding and bruising, fewer skin irregularities, and faster recovery.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$2,084

Payments

90

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Alexander Gross received $2,084 across 90 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
