Dr. Tom Rohrer and baseball player Mike Schmidt raise awareness about skin cancer
SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Thomas Rohrer did a “media tour” last week with Hall-of-Fame baseball player, Mike Schmidt, talking to multiple radio stations around the country about skin cancer prevention and detection. Mike Schmidt was diagnosed with melanoma in 2012 and wanted to share his story to raise awareness about the danger of sun exposure, especially among young people playing sports. The tour was organized with the help of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and had a huge reach.
SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Jeffrey Dover attended the Journées du Laser in Paris, France last weekend. He gave a key note speech to 300 French dermatologists on the latest advances in lasers and energy based devices. He was also interviewed by Lumenis for a video about lasers used in the treatment of scars, including burn scars and traumatic scars.

New JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA filler coming to SkinCare Physicians
June 6, 2016 – SkinCare Physicians is poised to be among the first in the United States to offer JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC to its patients. VOLBELLA is a terrific hyaluronic acid based filler (similar to JUVÉDERM, Restylane, and VOLUMA) that is particularly good for treating fine lines, lips, and smoothing out superficial contours. It was just approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It should be a significant, long lasting advance in our dermatologists’ ability to achieve natural looking results.
Dr. Michael Kaminer was at a meeting with a small group of physicians in Toronto last April preparing for the launch of VOLBELLA in the US. The initial launch will be somewhat limited in scope, and SkinCare Physicians will be part of it. The new filler should be available in October 2016.

SkinCare Physicians’ nurses presented at the Dermatology Nurses’ Association Convention
SkinCare Physicians’ nurse Colleen Gaffney RN, BSN and Director of Clinical Operations, Andrea DiGiulio RN, were invited to speak at the 34th annual convention of the Dermatology Nurses’ Association (DNA). It was a great honor for them to share their expertise on CoolSculpting and Laser Safety, with so many other dermatology nurses from around the country. It was also a tribute to SkinCare Physicians’ commitment to in-depth training and continuing education of its clinical staff.
In their first talk, Colleen Gaffney and Andrea DiGiulio explained the science behind the CoolSculpting device, shared best-practices to successfully incorporate the non-invasive contouring treatment into a practice (e.g., staff training, patient selection and education, etc.), discussed the different applicators and results expected, and shared pre- and post- treatment advice. In their second talk, Skincare Physicians’ nurses discussed different types of laser hazards and shared the safety precautions in place at our practice.
The DNA is a professional nursing organization committed to promoting excellence in dermatologic care through sharing knowledge and expertise. This year’s convention gathered over 330 attendees.

Another great conference: ASLMS 2016!
The American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) held its Annual Conference, Laser 2016, last week in Boston, Mass. This event gathers the world’s top professionals who lead the way in lasers, light and energy based devices, and patient care. SkinCare Physicians’ Drs. Arndt, Dover, Kaminer and Rohrer actively participated as Chair, Director or Faculty in research presentations, teaching sessions and other activities. Also very involved were former fellows who have trained at our dermatology practice near Boston and now practice throughout the country.
Examples of topics addressed by SkinCare Physicians’ dermatologists during the conference included:
Favorite laser pearls.
Optimizing patient experience.
Laser assisted drug delivery.
Picosecond laser for facial rejuvenation using a compressed treatment interval.
Maximizing results of treatment of cutaneous conditions while minimizing complications.
ASLMS 2016 awards
One of the highlights of the conference for our practice was when Dr. Arndt and Dr. Dover received awards at the Plenary Session:
Dr. Arndt also received the ASLMS Excellence in Education Award
Don’t miss what Dr. Robert Weiss, current ASLMS President, had to say about Dr. Arndt, the “Dermatology God” at the awards ceremony:
Patient writes about her cellulite treatment for Vogue
Kate Christensen, a renowned American novelist, writes for Vogue about her experience with the Cellfina treatment for cellulite, which dermatologist Michael Kaminer, M.D. performed for her at his Boston area practice, SkinCare Physicians. She chose to consult with him because “… he was one of a team of three doctors who helped to develop the Cellfina procedure and he regularly performs it …” Her story in the April 2016 issue of Vogue reads like a novel and as smoothly as cellulite-free skin!
SkinCare Physicians’ Dr. Tania Phillips has recently received a very nice honor. She was selected to be the annual Dr. Fred Blum Visiting Professor by residents of Duke University. Dr. Phillips chose to share her expertise on wounds. She gave a lecture entitled Wound Update to over 40 faculty members of Duke University and UNC, and another one on Unusual Wounds to residents. Congratulations Dr. Phillips!
