There are thousands of skin care products and treatments on the market, but how do you know which products truly work? Our new Visia System takes the guesswork out of your skincare program by providing an objective analysis of your skin. Visia measures eight areas that affect your skin’s health and appearance, such as pigmentation, pore size, redness, bacteria, wrinkles, and texture. Visia compares your skin’s features to other individuals of the same age and provides you with a skin ranking in each of these areas. A printed customized report is generated which becomes your baseline and is used to custom-pick the best skin care regimen for you. As your treatments progress, Visia analysis is repeated to monitor the degree of improvement in your skin. Treatments are adjusted if needed to get measurable results. Take the guesswork out of your skincare program with Visia!

April 29, 2010 – 4:00 pm - SmartSkin™ CO2 (DOT) Laser
After more than a year of performing fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, we continue to be blown away by the results. Results are simply stunning. Patients keep returning, asking us to treat all over their body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. This is an ideal treatment for sun damage, brown spots, wrinkles, loose crepey skin, and acne scars. Imagine what your skin was like five or ten years ago. Give us a week (or less) and you too can turn back the clock. Best of all, unlike the old days of aggressive CO2 laser treatment, and, unlike other offices, we have yet to see a significant complication. This speaks to both the enhanced safety of fractional resurfacing, as well as Dr. Ort’s training and expertise in lasers. Dr. Ort is the only physician in the state to have done a dedicated one-year laser fellowship (Harvard University, 1998). We invite you to experience true skin rejuvenation with fractional CO2 laser resurfacing performed exclusively by Dr. Ort

March 12, 2010 – 5:06 pm - Physician (Dis)Honesty
Do you know that there are doctors promoting themselves as dermatologists who are not formally trained in dermatology? Yes, there are numerous family doctors, ER doctors, gynecologists, and others passing themselves off as dermatologists to unsuspecting patients. Unfortunately, many doctors have decided to jump on the cosmetic bandwagon and try to make a quick buck. And there are very few laws to prevent this type of deception. IT IS TRULY THE WILD WEST OUT THERE. That means that you as a consumer need to protect yourself by researching the background of your physician. Ask any prospective dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon the following question: In what specialty did you do your residency training? In what specialty are you board-certified? You may be surprised by what you discover. Don’t take chances. Make sure that your “dermatologist” is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology.
February 1, 2010 – 10:25 am - Acne Scars
Acne scarring can be extremely damaging to one’s self-esteem. We have treated hundreds of patients with acne scars over the years. For ice-pick scars (tiny deep holes), we recommend CROSS using 100% TCA applied in a pinpoint manner directly into the scar. Rolling scars (depressed valleys with gentle edges) can be dramatically improved with subcision, using a needle to undermine and raise the scar. Boxcar scars (craters) can be surgically excised or can be treated with lasers, including fractional CO2 laser. The key ingredient when treating acne scars is patience. Multiple treatments, done repeatedly and on a consistent basis, will get the job done.

We strive to provide value in all medical and cosmetic services that we offer. Our high volume of repeat customers attests to this. We want you to know that we greatly appreciate your patronage. The highest compliment that you can give us is your repeat business. Should we ever fail to meet your expectations, please do not hesitate to inform us. Your satisfaction is our highest priority.
November 24, 2009 – 4:54 pm - Inspiration for Tattoo Removal
We see many patients for tattoo removal and have often wondered what motivates people to seek removal of their tattoo. A study from Archives of Dermatology (Vol 132, Apr 1996) provides interesting insights. Individuals seeking tattoo removal generally got their tattoos impulsively as youths, for vague reasons, in the context of peer pressure, and with a sense of rebellion. The primary motivation for tattoo removal was a quest for improved self-image, decreased embarrassment, and to dissociate from the past. Patients felt that, in contrast to the past, they were now able to make more mature and independent decisions. Comments from the patients themselves are revealing: “It lifted a great weight off my shoulders”; “I can be me again”; “It provided the opportunity to undo something I did very young;” “I can wear different clothing”; “It improved my self-esteem.”
If you fit the above profile, you should realize that you are not alone and that most tattoos can be effectively treated.

For the last ten years, millions of patients have relied on Botox treatment to reduce facial lines and wrinkles. Now there is an FDA-approved alternative to Botox called Dysport.

It has been used safely around the world for many years. Best of all, we are offering introductory pricing at $4 per unit now through 12/31/09!
