SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Tom Rohrer was recently quoted in an article in the February issue of the Harvard Health Letter about the new official guidelines for Mohs surgery. Mohs surgery is a procedure that removes skin cancer while minimizi…ng damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
"There can be a slight bias toward using it for almost all nonmelanoma skin cancers, since Mohs surgery offers the highest cure rate of any surgical procedure for skin cancer," said Dr. Rohrer. These new guidelines will help dermatologists better select patients for the procedure and may also help patients save some money. "Down the road, some patients may find that insurance companies will not pay for them to have certain skin cancers treated with Mohs surgery, and they will have to opt for less sophisticated techniques", Dr. Rohrer added. For further advice on Mohs surgery, call our office at (617) 731-1600.

Earlier this week, the JAMA Network for the Archives of Dermatology interviewed both Drs. Kenneth Arndt and Jeffrey Dover about their study evaluating the effectiveness of a novel Picosecond Alexandrite Laser for the treatment of tattoos. The objective of the study was to confirm that this new advance in technology would offer better healing and more clearing of tattoos with fewer treatments.
The results of the study showed that all participating subjects who completed the trial obtained greater than 75% clearing of their tattoos, and were either satisfied or very satisfied with the treatment!
To find out about additional study results, the difference with other laser technologies, the clinical relevance of the trial, and more, listen to the full interview at http://bit.ly/UistPO.

"Checking your skin for skin cancer only requires your eyes and a mirror," wrote Thomas E. Rohrer in an article for The Good Men Project.

Dr. Dover recently shared his view with the American Academy of Dermatology Association on how we, at SkinCare Physicians, are educating our medical dermatology patients about the breadth of cosmetic and anti-aging treatments we offer. We strive to educate our patients with tact and sensitivity. We display treatment brochures in every exam room as well as photo albums of patients before and after cosmetic procedures. When Dr. Dover sees that a patient has looked at them, he asks if he/she has any questions about cosmetic treatments and will eventually start the conversation about anti-aging procedures.
He remarks that women “are much more attuned to their appearance, so the pickup is going to much higher with women than men. But, there is a whole new group of men who care very much about their appearance, and they’re very interested.”
Finally, Dr. Dover stresses that timing is critical when starting the cosmetic conversation: “If the patient is in the office for a significant medical problem — for example, they think they have a melanoma, or a family member was diagnosed with melanoma — you just don’t bring it up, period. You wait for the next visit, or you just don’t do it.”
