Dr. Jeffrey Dover is one of five skin care experts to share his tips on how to combat winter dryness and dullness, which main cause is indoor heating. “While the humidity outside may be as high as 60 or 70 percent, the inside humidity is in the 15 to 20 percent range,” says Dr. Dover to editors at Q, the editorial site of the Equinox fitness and rejuvenation clubs. The best way to protect your skin from dryness is through prevention. “Avoid hot baths and long hot showers, use a moisturizing cleanser rather than soap, which will help keep skin from drying out, and apply moisturizer while the skin is still damp after showering,” he advises. “Following this regimen is a good way to prevent the skin from drying out and also keep it from getting that dull look which increases as the winter progresses.” He also reveals his favorite moisturizing cleanser for the winter, which is Olay 2-in-1 Essential Oil Ribbons moisturizing body wash. He recommends for the face, Aveeno Clear Complexion, CeraVe PM and Cetaphil cream, and for the body, Cetaphil lotion and Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream.

SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Michael Kaminer who helped lead the clinical trial for Cellfina, a newly FDA-cleared device for treatment of cellulite, is extensively quoted in the article, The Ripple Effect, just published in the March issue of Town & Country Magazine. Dr. Kaminer explains that until now the solutions for cellulite, which affects most women, were notoriously ineffective. “Previous treatments targeted the fat under the skin, but we wanted to go after the underlying cause of cellulite,” he says. With Cellfina, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure, he and other colleagues believe that they have found the holy grail of aesthetic treatments.

I had the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge modalities in laser and aesthetic medicine and observe their application to daily practice.

The expert teaching and engaging case discussions were integral to my learning.”

The new FDA-approved acne scar treatment Bellafill is coming to SkinCare Physicians.
Bellafill is the most recent FDA-approved filler to reach the U.S. market, specifically for the treatment of acne scars. It joins other excellent fillers already on the market such as Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane as viable options for treating acne scars as well as wrinkles and other surface skin changes. These products have proven to be extremely safe and effective, with results lasting on average 9-12 months or longer. Acne scars in particular are a challenge to treat, and quality of life for patients improves significantly as their scars are diminished. Adding Bellafill to our treatment portfolio will enhance our ability at SkinCare Physicians to treat virtually all patients who have acne scars. And we can do it successfully and likely much more easily than one might think.
