SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Jeffrey Dover recently commented on the PicoSure Laser for tattoo removal in an article for The Style and Beauty Doctor, a fashion and beauty guide for women. He says cost is typically the catch, but long term it’s worth the money as it clears up most tattoos better and in less time than less expensive traditional treatments. Before and after treatment images are included. Check them out: http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/2013/03/picosure-laser-tattoo-removal/

According to the Melanoma Foundation of New England (MFNE) only 10 percent of melanomas occur on the neck and scalp. But those can be the most deadly because melanomas in those locations go undetected or are caught late. SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Robin Travers will be training salon professionals to identify cancerous moles on the scalp and neck in "The Skinny on Skin", a free education program launched by the MFNE. Learn more about her role.

Dr. Jeffrey Dover‘s expertise inspired a grateful patient to compose a poem!
SCP AND ME: A LITTLE POEM
If you have a need to enhance your face-
If you ask me, then I’ve just the place:
It’s not far from Boston, in Chestnut Hill.
If you’ve never been lasered, it’s quite the thrill!
Dr. Dover and his team, they are skilled and kind.
I left a bit "sunburned", but I didn’t mind.
The results are terrific, and you won’t have to wait
more than few days for your skin to look great!

Drs Kenneth Arndt and Jeffrey Dover’s research with picosecond (trillionth
of a second!) laser devices for tattoo removal was highlighted in the recent Aesthetic Guide.
"Tattoo removal has graduated from the days of non-selective ablation using carbon dioxide and continuous wave lasers to selective photothermolysis using Q-switched lasers. The first breakthrough in tattoo treatments came 20 years ago, with the development of these Q-switched nanosecond lasers,” explained Jeffrey Dover who also conducted one of the clinical studies used in the PicoSure™ laser’s FDA approval process. “These billionth of a second pulse duration devices achieved scarless tattoo removal for the very first time.”

Many of our doctors at SkinCare Physicians attended the American Academy of Dermatology’s (AAD) 71st annual meeting this past weekend in Miami.
Dr. Thomas Rohrer who is a member of the board of directors for the AAD, gave numerous presentations, demonstrated latest techniques and moderated various symposiums. Dr. Rohrer was actively involved in many fascinating sessions:
– Moderating the Resident Practice Management Symposium where he talked about hiring and maintaining exceptional staff in a dermatology office.
– Giving a live talk and demonstration on how to inject filler substances to attain optimal results, along with Dr. Michael Kaminer.
– Chairing and speaking in a session on surgical reconstruction.
– Presenting in a dermatologic surgery session about cosmetic tips and pearls where he explained how to improve aesthetic results with fillers and toxins.
– Giving a talk on pigmented lesion lasers (or removing brown spots and tattoos).
During this biggest dermatology meeting of the year, Dr. Rohrer received a Presidential Citation for work he did on one of the committees restructuring the AAD communications.
Dr. Jeffrey Dover demonstrated the treatment of the aging face during “The State of Art of Aesthetic Dermatology" session along with Dr. Naz Saedi, who was trained as a fellow at our practice. As chair of the live injection session, Dr. Dover was responsible for selecting the best injectors in the Academy to treat live patients in front of an audience of 500 AAD members. They demonstrated a variety of injection techniques including neuromodulators and fillers.
In another live demonstration course, entitled Application of our Aesthetic Toolbox for the Treatment of Medical and Dermatologic Disorders, Dr. Dover treated a patient who had facial asymmetry after suffering from Bell’s palsy. He also discussed ways to maintain a neuromodulator practice in the 2013 economy at the session Dermatologic Surgery: Cosmetic Tips and Pearls.
Dr. Michael Kaminer gave a lecture at the annual Residents Symposium on tools to evaluate the economic health of a practice. Dr. Kaminer also attended the MiraDry Advisory Board meeting where amazing new data were shared including near 100% efficacy for underarm sweat reduction.
Dr. Tania Phillips chaired a symposium entitled Wounds and Ulcers, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

My rotation was truly a phenomenal learning experience. Dr. Rohrer is an iconic figure in the field of dermatologic surgery, and it is easy to see why. Beyond his impressive list of publications and prominent involvement with numerous organizations, Dr. Rohrer’s surgical technique and results are quite simply amazing."
