Get to know Aesthetic Medicine Specialist Dr. Leanne Cross, who serves patients in Safety Harbor, Florida.

An established aesthetic medicine specialist, Dr. Cross sees patients at her private practice – Ageless Advanced Aesthetics – in Safety Harbor, Florida. She has an artistic eye and an exceptional attention to detail. Coupled with her years of experience and innovative thinking, patients have come to rely on her superior quality work and beautiful outcomes. She strives to give patients natural-looking outcomes that approximate their own more youthful appearance because she feels it is of utmost importance to not allow an artificial appearance.

Throughout the years of her aesthetic practice, she has gained the respect of her peers and has provided extensive training for other physicians and practitioners in facial analysis and contouring, in order to assist them in becoming successful in their own aesthetic practices. She strongly believes that aesthetic physicians and practices should put aside competition and work together toward the best outcomes for all patients. 

The doctor has served on an aesthetic advisory board, and regularly is the first choice of her colleagues and vendors when they choose to have their own aesthetic procedures performed. Recognized by her peers for her professional integrity, exceptional skill with dermal fillers, and innovative contributions and artistry, she has become known as “the injector to the injectors.”

With a broad educational background, Dr. Cross attended Georgia State University on a full academic scholarship and graduated with honors in 1993 with a major in Biology, concentration in Anatomy and Physiology, and a minor in Chemistry. She then earned an academic scholarship to Medical College of Georgia, where she graduated in the top of her class in 1997. She scored in the top two percent of the nation on the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) and was chosen to be a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society.

She has received post-graduate training in surgery, including plastics, as well as pathology, including dermatopathology, and has additional experience in family medicine with a high concentration in dermatological procedures. Her well-rounded background gives her an excellent knowledge base for the important skill of addressing the patient as a whole. She has also completed additional advanced training in specific techniques for the devices and procedures she employs at her medical aesthetic practice. She has refined her skills through vendor-specific product training, advanced technique courses, apprenticeships, and 17 years of experience.

Professionally, Dr. Cross continues to function as a Surgeon on Duty on weekends at CW Bill Young Veterans Hospital, because of her passion and dedication to give back to the country’s Veterans. She continually researches latest techniques and technologies and combines these with an unsurpassed artistic talent, to offer her patients the best possible combination of modalities that will give the most impressive revitalized and natural results.

Aesthetic medicine is an inclusive term for specialties that focus on improving cosmetic appearance through the treatment of conditions including scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration, and spider veins. Aesthetic medicine specialists may utilize both surgical and non-surgical procedures to improve cosmetic appearance, psychological well-being, as well as overall quality of life. 

In her twelve years of experience in aesthetic medicine, Dr. Cross has remained on the forefront of the industry, twice winning the coveted “Best Facial Injectable Enhancement” award at The Aesthetics Show, a national conference of Plastic Surgeons and Aesthetic Physicians. She has also been the recipient of the Patients’ Choice Award (2014, 2013, 2012, 2011), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2014, 2013, 2012, 2011), and On-Time Doctor Award (2014).
