It would be nice if there were a true “fountain of youth,” a perfect cosmetic procedure, a magic cream, or potion drink to maintain skin youth and beauty. Although that one "silver bullet" does not exist today, recent research demonstrates that Nutrition, Topical Skin Care, and Aesthetic Procedures together exert a synergistic, effective remedy. By implementing all three of these skincare categories, optimal skin health and skin beauty are achieved from the outside, as well as from the inside.

Most of our patients have no downtime and no bruising following their injectable cosmetic treatments like Botox and Filler, however, when bruising does occur it can be a real bummer. Of course, we do everything we can to avoid bruising a patient, but the reality is it happens to the best of us because at the end of the day, the face is one of the most vascular areas of our bodies. Enter AccuVein, a new, cutting-edge technology that allows us to see below the complex network of tiny veins and blood vessels beneath the skin, so we can avoid them. Modern Dermatology is pleased to offer this groundbreaking technology to our patients, and to further explain how it works, we asked Dr. Klein to answer some common questions.

Wondering what that has to do with Dermatology? Cancer patients undergoing radiation treatments for cancer are usually marked with 2-3 small tattoo marks on their skin.
