6-Time Best Dermatologist on Long Island and Best Ulthera Recognition
For the sixth time, Simply Dermatology has been named Best Dermatologist on Long Island, and in 2026, we were also recognized as Best Ulthera on Long Island.
For Dr. Kally Papantoniou and our team in Melville, this recognition reflects something we have built intentionally over the years: a cosmetic dermatology practice grounded in expertise, precision, and natural-looking results. While awards are meaningful, what matters most is the trust our patients place in us to guide their treatment decisions with experience and integrity.
Our approach has always been the same — balance, customization, and long-term skin health.
6-Time Best Dermatologist on Long Island
Being named Best Dermatologist on Long Island once is an honor. Being recognized six times speaks to consistency.
Dr. Papantoniou is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in cosmetic, laser, and surgical dermatology. At Simply Dermatology, we take a layered approach to facial rejuvenation. That means we do not rely on a single treatment or trend. Instead, we evaluate skin quality, volume loss, skin laxity, facial balance, and long-term collagen health before recommending a plan. Our layered approach philosophy has allowed us to help our patients look refreshed and restored, without ever being overdone.
This philosophy is reflected across our treatments, including:
- Neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin for softening dynamic lines
- Dermal fillers for restoring structural support and balance
- Laser treatments such as Fraxel and CO2 Laser for skin texture and tone
- Non-surgical body contouring and skin tightening procedures
Each treatment plan is customized, and no two faces are treated the same way.
Over time, patients recognize the difference between quick fixes and thoughtful, medically guided aesthetic care. Being named Best Dermatologist on Long Island multiple times reflects not only technical skill, but the relationships we build and maintain with our patients year after year.
Recognized as Best Ulthera on Long Island
In 2026, Simply Dermatology was also honored as Best Ulthera on Long Island.
Ulthera (also known as Ultherapy) is an FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment designed to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. It is commonly used to lift and tighten areas such as the lower face, jawline, neck, and brow. No surgery and minimal downtime, this non-invasive facelift is a powerhouse treatment for skin tightening.
Energy-based devices require precision. Proper depth selection, correct energy placement, and patient selection are critical to achieving natural, balanced results. When performed thoughtfully, Ulthera can gradually improve skin laxity while preserving facial movement and expression.
We often incorporate Ulthera into broader rejuvenation plans. For some patients, it is used alone to address early laxity. For others, it may be combined with volume restoration or skin resurfacing to create more comprehensive results.
Recognition as Best Ulthera on Long Island reflects our experience with advanced energy-based treatments and our commitment to individualized care.
What Makes an Ulthera Provider the Best?
When patients search for Ulthera on Long Island, they are often looking for more than just a provider who simply owns the device. They are looking for expertise and proven results.
Several factors distinguish Simply Derm as an experienced Ulthera provider:
Accurate patient selection. Not every patient with skin laxity is an ideal candidate. Understanding who will benefit, and who may require a different approach, is something we excel at.
Anatomical knowledge. We evaluate facial anatomy carefully before treatment. This allows for strategic energy placement while preserving natural contours.
Combination planning. Skin laxity is only one component of facial aging. Volume loss, collagen depletion, and skin quality also play roles. Ulthera is often most effective when incorporated into a layered plan.
Realistic expectations. Non-surgical lifting is gradual and collagen-based. We pride ourselves on patient education and make sure they thoroughly understand expected timelines and realistic outcomes.
Experience with energy-based devices. Depth control and energy settings matter. Customization improves both safety and results.
For patients considering Ulthera anywhere on Long Island, provider experience significantly influences outcomes.
