Sue Ellen Cox

When Dr. Sue Ellen Cox began practicing dermatology over 25 years ago, there was no such thing as "aesthetic dermatology." An early and passionate believer in the power of effective, minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, Dr. Cox worked hard to shape the field with her values: rigorous scientific evaluation of every treatment, an emphasis on safety, and appreciation for subtle, natural-looking results.

Dr. Sue Ellen Cox is a board-certified dermatologic surgeon, founder and medical director of Aesthetic Solutions in Chapel Hill, NC. She is an internationally recognized expert in facial rejuvenation using lasers, injectable fillers and neuromodulators. Dr. Cox runs an active clinical research center, and has performed clinical trials and pivotal studies on most neuromodulators and fillers, including Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Letybo, Juvederm, Restylane, RHA fillers, Belotero, Voluma, Kybella, Restylane Silk, Restylane Kysse and Latisse.

Dr. Cox is a contributing editor for the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery, an editor for Modern Aesthetics, and has authored or co-authored more than one hundred peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. Dr. Cox has held numerous leadership roles throughout the field of dermatology, including serving as President of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.
