The problem of effectively treating hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, has received increasing attention over the last two years. As physicians, we knew that it was a problem for our patients, but I don’t think we understood the following: First, how big of a problem it was for people who suffered from hyperhidrosis. Statistics show that as many as 20 percent of the population is adversely affected in a way that people would seek medical care. Second, how much in demand treatment for excessive sweating would be. I was recently interviewed by the American Society for Lasers in Medicine & Surgery … Continue reading »
Thermage has been used for over a decade to tighten skin of the lower face and jaw line, producing a more youthful and natural look. Now scientists have discovered that Thermage can also prevent aging. Based on experience with patients treated every one to two years, we have observed that those patients appear to age more slowly than those who have Thermage only once every 4 to 5 years, or don’t have any treatment at all. We know that patients start to appear older at 5 to 10 year increments, which was the original theory behind the timing between Thermage … Continue reading »
By now if you have not heard the term Botox, you have probably been living under a rock! But did you know that there are two other products that work virtually the same as Botox, and in some cases may even be superior? Dysport and Xeomin are the new kids on the block, and are giving Botox quite a run for its money. All three of these products can be used to create beautiful, natural, and near wrinkle free smoothness of the upper face, around the eyes and mouth, and even on the neck. The trick to achieving these eye-catching … Continue reading »
At the annual dermatologic surgery meeting in Atlanta last fall, I presented new data on filler techniques to improve results. Fillers can now be used on virtually any part of the face, and using them preferentially in the temple region, as well as in front of the ears, can elevate lower facial skin with beautiful and natural results. Another area that offers pleasant results using fillers is on the eyebrows, eyelids and under the eyes, as shown in the videos below. These new techniques present a significant advantage: they do not cause an overinflated or artificial look. They also avoid … Continue reading »
Once again, SkinCare Physicians tops the list of dermatology practices with most of its physicians named as Top Doctors by Boston Magazine. Over the past decade, many of our practitioners have appeared regularly in this annual list of top physicians. In the December 2012 issue of Boston Magazine, an astounding eight of our physicians were named as top doctors, seven in the dermatology category (Drs. Kenneth Arndt, Jeffrey Dover, Michael Kaminer, Kay Kane, Thomas Rohrer, Jeffrey Sobell, and Robin Travers) and one in the ophthalmology section (Dr. Katrinka Heher). This makes three years running that seven of our dermatologists have been … Continue reading »
Drs. Kaminer, Arndt, Dover and Rohrer have written and edited the world’s newest and most innovative textbook on cosmetic surgery, The Atlas of Cosmetic Surgery. Continue reading »
