Dermatology Specialists Welcomes Audrey Kunin, M.D.
Dr. Audrey Kunin entered into the dermatology field to help people. In her over 30 years in the industry, she’s not only aided her own patients, but also thousands of people throughout the United States. Her vast knowledge of dermatology has resulted in products, media appearances and her own book.
Dr. Kunin will now be bringing her expertise to Panama City Beach and Santa Rosa Beach Dermatology Specialists offices in January 2024.
Dr. Kunin completed her undergraduate degree at Ohio State University, going on to medical school at the Medical College of Ohio and completing her residency in dermatology at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia.
“Being a board-certified dermatologist offers the best of many worlds and is a good mix of adult and pediatric medicine,” Dr. Kunin said. “I was drawn to the specialty because, with the skin being the largest organ, so many medical disorders show themselves on the skin.”
Much of her interest lies in helping patients pursue optimal health on the exterior as well as the interior. By examining the skin, much can be learned about the person and additional medical help can be provided.
To Dr. Kunin, dermatology has changed the way people think about cosmetics. Practicing since 1989, she’s witnessed the evolution of cosmetic dermatology, with injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers. She has trained alongside some of the early gurus in the industry.
Her experience created a strong belief in continued education and thinking outside of the box. This led her to the production of her own skin care line, DERMAdoctor, holding four patents including a retinol and a topical acne treatment.
Being passionate about sharing the importance of skin health, Dr. Kunin has reached the masses through local and national television appearances, such as being featured on QVC and being a source for articles in media outlets including Allure, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Women’s Health, Marie Claire and more. In 2005, Simon & Schuster published her book, The DERMAdoctor Skinstruction Manual: The Smart Guide to Healthy, Beautiful Skin and Looking Good at Any Age.
“I spent a while working in the consumer space, problem solving common skin concerns that can be anxiety provoking,” Dr. Kunin said. “I really enjoyed being able to help patients conquer their skin concerns that perhaps they felt there were no options for before.”
When relocating from Kansas City, Missouri, to the Emerald Coast, Dr. Kunin began researching dermatology offices in the area. She was immediately impressed by the skilled physicians and staff at Dermatology Specialists of Florida & Aqua Medical Spa and the vast offerings the practice provides from Mohs micrographic surgery to advanced cosmetic treatments offered at their physician supervised medical spa.
Dr. Kunin, her husband and children are looking forward to experiencing the Florida lifestyle, weather and vibrant beaches.
“I’m excited to meet my new community and establish a patient base,” she said. “I want to make patients feel comfortable, welcome and well cared for. Those aspects lead to incredible relationships and the ultimate rapport.”
