New York City, New York Apr 21, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - An exceptional dermatologist, Dr. Falabella is the Co-Owner of Hollywood Dermatology & Cosmetic Specialists, with offices throughout South Florida. She has made significant contributions to the field of dermatology, especially in the areas of wound healing and pediatric dermatology. Her passion and expertise in these areas have earned her international recognition, and she has been invited to give lectures at national meetings and world dermatologic congresses.
Originally from Iowa City, she was raised in Cali, Colombia, graduating as salutatorian from the Universidad del Valle School of Medicine. She completed her internship and dermatology fellowship at the Hospital Universitario del Valle, before relocating to New Orleans, where she completed a three-year international fellowship in dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine. She then went on to complete her internship, residency in dermatology, and fellowship in wound healing at the Miami University Miller School of Medicine.
An expert in her field, 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.
Maintaining fellowship status, Dr. Falabella is a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology (FAAD), and Fellow of the American Academy of Wound Management (FAAWM).
One of her most significant accomplishments is the development of a novel therapy for the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa, an incurable disease that causes the skin to blister and tear. In 1998, she became the first physician in the world to transplant bioengineered skin onto the wounds of an infant born with this condition, which changed the paradigm for treating this disease.
Her work in wound healing has continued to be groundbreaking, and she has served as Director of the Dermatology Wound Healing Clinic and Director of the Wound Healing Fellowship Program at the University of Miami School of Medicine between 1998 and 2004.
Despite her impressive accomplishments and accolades, Dr. Falabella remains committed to providing excellent care to her patients. She maintains an appointment as a Voluntary Associate Professor of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and can be found on staff at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
In addition to her clinical work, she is also a prolific researcher, with over 60 articles, book chapters, and abstracts to her name. She has been a principal investigator or co-investigator in more than 40 research trials, contributing significantly to the field of dermatology.
Dr. Falabella's dedication to community health and prevention is evident in her volunteer work at local health fairs and participation in medical mission trips. She also secured a grant to build a sunshade structure for Indian Trace Elementary School in Weston, Florida, promoting sun safety and skin cancer prevention.
