About Me
Karina Torres, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, is a dermatology nurse practitioner in Miami, Florida. She believes that healthy skin can change lives and is deeply committed to partnering with each patient, listening carefully, personalizing every treatment plan, and celebrating each step of progress. With 20 over in years of experience in dermatology, she has had the privilege of helping people feel more confident in their own skin. What she loves most about this field is witnessing the transformation that comes not only from improved skin health and aesthetics, but also from the renewed self-esteem that follows. Dermatology allows her to blend science, art, and compassion, enhancing natural beauty while supporting each patient’s unique journey toward confidence and well-being. Whether you are dealing with acne, monitoring a changing mole, exploring subtle cosmetic refreshes, or coming in for a routine skin check, she is honored to care for you.
Karina attended medical school at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, earning her Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 1997, followed by one year of Internal Medicine training in 1998. She then completed a three-year Dermatology residency (1999–2002) at Centro Nacional Dermatológico in Managua, Nicaragua, and became a board-certified dermatologist in Nicaragua.
She brings more than 20 years of international experience in medical and cosmetic dermatology. After moving to the United States, Karina completed a direct-entry Master of Science in Nursing and became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C). She currently practices at Dr. Judith Crowell Dermatology | Skin and Cancer Associates and is pursuing her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with specific interests in skin-cancer prevention, early detection, and evidence-based dermatologic care.
Her procedural scope includes skin biopsies and the treatment and destruction of precancerous and cancerous lesions, as well as Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) for select non-melanoma skin cancers. She also offers a broad range of cosmetic procedures—Dysport, Botox, dermal fillers, Sculptra, chemical peels, Morpheus8, PRP/PRF with microneedling, IPL, and multiple laser platforms—with a focus on natural, balanced results that respect each patient’s features and goals. Her clinical interests include acne, pigmentary and vascular conditions, scar management, and comprehensive skin-cancer screenings.
Karina is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), Society of Dermatology Nurse Practitioners (SDNP), CILAD, and the Nicaraguan Association of Dermatology. She provides care in both English and Spanish and strives to make every visit comfortable, clear, and empowering.
Now welcoming new patients in Miami, Karina looks forward to partnering with you to build your healthiest, most confident skin.
