I Believe in the Beauty of Color

Cosmetic dermatology is my vocation and passion. Advancing the medical art and science of hair and skin of color is my life’s purpose.

Beautiful Beginnings

Born in Brooklyn, I grew up in Nigeria with parents who worked in the medical sciences. Thanks to them, I was exposed to physicians who looked just like me from an early age. In 1996, I came back to New York for college and to realize my dream of becoming a doctor.

Innovating Inclusivity

I launched my dermatology practice in 2012 because no one did what I wanted to do; provide culturally competent and responsive skin and hair care to people of color. Today we serve a diverse clientele in three NYC locations: Midtown, Harlem, and Washington Heights.

A Radiant Outlook

After helping thousands of people with skin and hair challenges, I know how to create positive change. From my ADM Skincare line to my Radiant Skin Dermatology & Laser clinics and peer coaching and mentoring, I’m dedicated to revolutionizing Beauty of Color.

A Radiant Mission

The Beauty of Color is undeniable. And yet, the field of dermatology and the beauty industry do little to prioritize the health, safety, and efficacy of treatments for people of color.

My mission is to fill the knowledge gap in caring for hair and skin of color.

My Promise to You

I only use products and treatments on you that I would use on myself. I invest in specialized lasers and technologies that are proven safe and effective for skin of color. And my ADM Skincare products are made with love and science for your best health and results.

Dr. Adebola Dele-Michael is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology, a Diplomate of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, and an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She received her Doctorate of Medicine with distinction in community service at the University Of Rochester School Of Medicine.

Dr. Dele-Michael completed her dermatology residency at Wayne State University, where she also served as Chief Resident. Dr. Dele-Michael opened her first private practice, Radiant Skin Dermatology and Laser, in New York City in 2012. Today, she owns three successful offices in Washington Heights, Harlem, and on Central Park South in Midtown Manhattan. An authority in skin of color care, Dr. Dele-Michael is known for treating the root causes of a wide range of skin concerns using her Layered-Approach™️ method.

She is a leader in the use of lasers and devices to treat skin concerns for people of color, expertly treating each client with compassion and exceptional care. Whether you see her in person, on the web, or on stage, Dr. Dele-Michael is dedicated to Advancing the Beauty of Color™️.

Rosehip oil also has vitamins A, C and E and “helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and discoloration,” says Dr. Dele-Michael

“The Beauty of Color is undeniable, however, the field of dermatology and the beauty industry do little to prioritize the health, safety, and efficacy of skin treatments for people of color”

“We turned to two dermatologists—Adebola Dele-Michael, M.D. and Janiene Luke, M.D.—to explain the benefits of using jojoba seed oil in your hair and skin.”

“I was quickly reminded why one of her superpowers is her ability to adapt to changes in order to share her knowledge and help heal the community”

“The ideal product should encourage exfoliation in the pores while hydrating the skin, and will not be too irritating,”

“People can become addicted to topical steroids because while they can treat certain skin ailments, discontinuing the use of steroid creams can cause a rebound effect where the person’s skin can flare-up even worse than the initial skin concern.

Dr. Adebola Dele-Michael recommends washing your face twice a day—once in the morning and once at night. Also, make sure your hands are clean before you begin. You don't want to transfer any bacteria and dirt onto your skin.

Get in touch

Dr. Dele-Michael was very nice. I went in for skin allergies and she did a skin allergy test that really helped me figure out what was causing my severe skin eczema. I recommend her highly! I am returning for DPN removal on my face as well because I see the amazing results from my friend’s DPN removal at their practice.

Dr. Dele-Michael has really helped me. She really dug deep to find out the reason for my auto-immune disease. It turns out I was really vitamin D deficient!!! Now I am doing much better. Dr. Dele-Michael really cares and I refer all my loved ones to her.

Dr. Dele-MIchael treated my DPNs and my face is really clear and smooth now. She explained the procedure and how to avoid discoloration after the procedure. I am very pleased with the service. If you are looking for an African American dermatologist here in nyc, don’t hesitate to reach them!

When I started looking into elevating my look, there were two things that came to mind: The best dermatologist who understands my melanated skin and luxury. So after doing some research on the best dermatologists in town (and discovering Dr. Adebola Dele-Michael), it only made sense for me to go with her! And by the way, she is a gorgeous African American woman, okay!!! Her office is conveniently located next door to all of our favorite spots--Dior, Bergdorf Goodman, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Balenciaga, Celine, etc...I was already excited when I arrived at this majestic old-world doorman building with beautiful holiday decorations in the lobby. Dr. Dele-Michael's office was on the 2nd floor, and I was delighted to see that the attention to detail continued there: her holiday decor was fabulous. My first interaction with the staff, Clenton, Ashley, and Olga, was friendly and knowledgeable. Then I met the doctor! The doctor is even more beautiful in person! So I was super excited because I knew my face was in the best of hands. After clarifying my treatment plan in detail, I performed the Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency, and my face is snatched, lol. Now my face is lifted, the double chin is gone, and my skin is so soft, smooth, and even. I also use her own skincare products from her own line, the ADM skincare line, and I really like the way my skin feels after using them. I can't wait to visit Dr. Dele-Michael, my favorite dermatologist in Manhattan, NYC. I can't forget to mention the 24K gold mask Olga applied to my skin after my treatment!! I am so happy and can't wait to bring all my friends and family for their treatment too.

Choosing this clinic and meeting Dra. adebola was the best decision I could have ever made. I chose to do something special for myself being a busy mom, entrepreneur and wife. When I started getting those treatments I certainly see improvements. Almost immediate, significant and LIFE CHANGING IMPROVEMENTS! My skin gets better overtime. For more than a year now, I availed several Trusculpt Id treatments from this clinic. This is my now GO TO clinic because they NEVER fail to deliver great results and unbelievably personalized and courteous service any patient could ask for. Dra. Adebola and her team are excellent and caring. I message, she replies. I call, they answer!!! They would always attend to my endless inquiries even on weekends! This is by far the BEST Derma Clinic I've tried here in New York NYC!! and I've been seeing derma since I was 15 years old. I knew I made the right decision. I am referring friends and family I know to this clinic!
