Get to know Dermatologist Dr. Steven B. Snyder, who serves patients in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Dr. Snyder is a nationally and internationally recognized board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic laser surgeon servicing the greater Baltimore and Washington, DC areas at his private practice, Dermatology Laser Center & Medispa.

A pioneer in his field, he was the first in Maryland to offer the ARTAS Robotic FUE Hair Transplant procedure, Emsculpt Neo, laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, Ultrapulse CO2 laser for facial resurfacing, and the non-invasive miraDry™ procedure that eliminates bothersome underarm sweating. 

Additionally, having successfully performed tens of thousands of laser procedures over the last 30 years, Dr. Snyder’s expertise in laser tattoo removal has been given the title of “The King of Tattoo Removers” by The Washington Post.

Back in the early days of his academic career, he received his medical degree from the Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine in Puerto Rico. He completed his residency in dermatology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and served as Chief Resident.
Recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology (FAAD), the doctor is board-certified in dermatology by the American Board of Dermatology, which is a voluntary, non-profit, private, autonomous organization formed for the primary purpose of protecting the public interest by establishing and maintaining high standards of training, education, and qualifications of physicians rendering care in dermatology. 

Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body. Dermatology is a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist is a specialist doctor who manages skin diseases and deals with both internal and external causes and some cosmetic concerns involving the skin. Dermatological duties include taking consultations, providing screening tests, and undertaking non-invasive surgical procedures.

As a testament of his dedication, Dr. Snyder was selected for recognition in “America’s Top Dermatologists” by the Consumer Research Council of America.

An artist by nature, Dr. Snyder has always enjoyed the satisfaction of creating and drawing portraits in charcoals and pastels, as well as oil painting and calligraphy. He also enjoys world travel, sports, physical fitness, singing and speaking multiple foreign languages.
