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.

A tribute to Dr. Thomas Rohrer’s renowned expertise in skin cancer surgery and remarkable teaching skills from Carlos Paz, MD, a participant of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) Preceptorship Program: “Thanks to the ASDS Preceptorship Program, I had the opportunity to visit with Thomas E. Rohrer, MD, at his clinic SkinCare Physicians in Boston for a week. The primary objective of my visit was to learn about skin cancer surgery, and I learned much more. 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."

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.
