Cosmetic Safety Alert: Three Anatomy Questions to Ask Your Injector

Published on Dec 17th, 2024 by Michael Kaminer, MD

If you’re thinking about having cosmetic injections, such as Botox or fillers, safety should be at the top of your mind when deciding where to have these treatments performed. Unfortunately, there has been a proliferation of inadequately trained injectors in recent years, which has led to a rise in serious complications. Those of us who have been practicing cosmetic dermatology for decades are alarmed by this trend, and continue to seek ways to educate the public to improve safety. While the obvious first steps might appear to be having treatments performed by board-certified physicians in specialties such as dermatology and … Continue reading »

Microbotox: The secret to ‘glass skin’?

Published on Sep 27th, 2024 by Karen Kim, MD

Microbotox, also known as microtoxin, or mesobotox, is an innovative treatment that has been growing in popularity and capturing attention on social media for its ability to deliver smooth, glowing skin. Dr. Karen Kim, a board-certified dermatologist, explains how microbotox works and what skin concerns it addresses. How microbotox works The procedure consists of minute injections of diluted neurotoxin delivered through a very fine needle into the superficial layer of the skin to improve skin quality and luster. Microbotox injections do not relax muscles the way traditional Botox or Dysport injections do. In fact, deeper muscles should remain unaffected preserving … Continue reading »

Can too much Botox age you?

Published on Feb 2nd, 2024 by Michael Kaminer, MD

Co-authored with Dr. Jeffrey Dover Sometimes the internet simply gets it wrong.  There was a recent article posted to CNN Health that claimed “Too much Botox can age you”. Specifically, the article (with input from medical professionals) stated that “getting injections for a prolonged period of time” can lead to more rather than less aging. Nothing can be farther from the truth!  At SkinCare Physicians, our leading experts have been performing Botox and similar injections (Dysport, Daxxify) for nearly 30 years.  After treating thousands of patients every 4-6 months (on average), we have NEVER seen an example of accelerated aging.  … Continue reading »

Daxxify, the newest wrinkle buster

Published on Mar 16th, 2023 by Michael Kaminer, MD

Daxxify is here! The most significant advance in neuromodulators in over a decade has finally arrived at SkinCare Physicians. Botox and Dysport have been at the center of a revolution in wrinkle reduction and aging prevention for over 20 years. They help to soften muscle movement, which in turn reduces wrinkles, improves eyebrow position, and creates a more relaxed appearance. Daxxify (Daxxi) is the newest generation of neuromodulators, and has the significant advantage of longer lasting results. Much of the original research was performed at SkinCare Physicians and shows that Daxxi can last as long as 6-9 months. This increased … Continue reading »

Avoiding unnatural results with cosmetic injections

Published on Feb 1st, 2022 by Michael Kaminer, MD

As we begin 2022, the popularity of injectable cosmetic procedures such as neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin), and fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Teoxane, Belotero, Sculptra, Radiesse) continues to expand.  Patients are drawn to the immediacy and the non-invasive nature of these powerful interventions. When performed by skilled injectors, they are safe, effective and produce beautiful natural results for a wide range of patients of all ages and skin types. Yet we still see many people with overdone faces. This blog attempts to understand why, and offers advice on how to ensure you get the natural looking results you deserve with fillers … Continue reading »

Botox Shmotox- Does it really matter what toxin is used to treat my lines and wrinkles?

Published on Jul 13th, 2021 by Kenneth Arndt, MD

The short answer to this question is NO… so far. What really matters is the injector. Here is why. What is “Botox” Let’s review what Botox is and how it has evolved. Botulinum toxin is purified from Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that may improperly grow in preserved or canned food. It is extremely potent-a baby aspirin size amount of powdered toxin is enough to make the global supply of Botox for a year. Botulinum toxin blocks the release of a chemical that instructs muscles to contract. If brow or forehead muscles slow down or stop contracting after exposure to botulinum … Continue reading »

Your new BFF in addressing facial aging

Published on Oct 18th, 2019 by Kenneth Arndt, MD

The acronym BFF stands for “best friends forever,” a term used while instant messaging on the computer or sending a text message on cell phones. It’s also been the name of a reality television show, a comedy series, an online game show, and an episode of South Park, but now Dr. Arndt of SkinCare Physicians often refers to it when speaking with patients when discussing options and approaches for a variety of aesthetic treatments. Both his colleagues and he often see people who come in with appearance related concerns. They are interested simply in “looking better” and want information about … Continue reading »

The ‘Botox’ effects: More than just skin-deep

Published on Aug 30th, 2019 by Thomas Rohrer, MD

There is good scientific research now that supports the fact that neuromodulators such as BOTOX, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin, do more than just improve our looks. Neuromodulators can actually increase our feelings of happiness. While this may just seem as a result of looking better and feeling better about ourselves after having the treatment, it actually goes much deeper. SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Thomas Rohrer explains why. There is certainly a lot of benefits from looking better after having a neuromodulator procedure. Lines between the eyebrows melt away and people do not look as if they are scowling and therefore may … Continue reading »
