XEOMIN- New Botox Alternative!

ort — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:05:22 +0000

We are among the first in Denver, Colorado to offer Xeomin for treatment of wrinkles. This new Botox alternative is now FDA-approved as the latest wrinkle fighter! Studies have shown equivalent results between Botox and Xeomin. Only a select few, top-tier offices have been chosen to offer Xeomin before its official release. Best of all, we are offering special pricing while supplies last! If you are thinking about trying Botox, now may be the perfect time to try Xeomin at a fraction of the cost of Botox!

We are excited to announce the addition of Dr. Meredith Reimer to our practice. Dr. Reimer brings a wealth of dermatology experience with her from Chicago. Chicago’s loss is Denver’s gain! She is a board-certified dermatologist with broad expertise in general, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Dr. Reimer has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of acne, warts, moles, eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer. She also performs patch testing for the comprehensive workup of allergic skin rashes. Our patients have been impressed by her genuine and caring bedside manner. We would like to extend a warm welcome to Dr. Reimer!

Facial Veins and Redness

ort — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:42:43 +0000

Many people suffer from unsightly veins and redness of the face. This may be inherited or may be a manifestation of rosacea. Unfortunately, there is a common assumption that this problem is due to excessive alcohol consumption. The good news is that this can be effectively treated with lasers. Usually we start with the Iridex laser and the results are nothing short of miraculous as the veins disappear in front of our eyes! For diffuse facial redness, we generally recommend the BBL or pulsed dye laser, which provide full face coverage. If you or a loved one suffer from excessive facial veins or redness, you should know that effective treatment is available, is safe, and has little to no downtime. For laser treatment in Denver, we continue to shine as the center of excellence.

New Sunscreen Guidelines

Good news! The FDA is mandating changes to how sunscreens are labeled and advertised, which will help to clarify which sunscreens provide the best protection against skin cancer and skin aging. The new rules will go into effect next summer. In the meantime, you should read sunscreen labels carefully to ensure that you are getting maximal protection. It is important to protect against both UVA and UVB. SPF is a measure of UVB protection; choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher (there is minimal benefit going higher than SPF 50). For UVA protection, make sure that your sunscreen has one of the following ingredients: titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone. Zinc oxide is our favorite sunscreen ingredient as it is a non-chemical, physical blocker with the broadest-spectrum coverage. We have several sunscreens available for purchase in the office which offer both superior sun protection and cosmetic elegance.

Botox is Best

ort — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:57:16 +0000

Botox continues to be one of the mainstays of our dermatology practice in Denver. Nothing else compares to Botox in terms of great results, no downtime, and ease of treatment. However, we continue to see patients who would benefit greatly from Botox, but who have questions about its safety. We have been using Botox for over ten years, having done tens of thousands of treatments, and have NEVER had a serious side effect. This is what Dr. Ort recently said about Botox: “I have complete confidence in the safety of Botox. I often administer Botox to close friends and family members, who all LOVE the results and are quick to let me know when it is time for their next treatment. In my hands, Botox is truly the perfect treatment: safe, effective, non-invasive, and with an extremely high patient satisfaction rate.”

Ten-Year Anniversary

April marks the ten-year anniversary of the founding of our practice. We would like to thank all of our loyal patients who have made it possible for our practice to flourish. While we are all ten years older (and hopefully wiser), the core values of our practice have not changed. Our commitment is to deliver the best-quality patient care and outstanding customer service. It all starts with our personnel- our providers, Richard Ort MD, Sarah Kurts PA-C, and aesthetician Sheila Marquardt- together with our dedicated staff. We continue to offer the most advanced dermatology techniques, including Mohs surgery for skin cancer, photodynamic therapy for precancers, and the widest array of lasers to treat many different skin conditions. While none of us can predict what changes are in store for the future, we look forward to our next ten years of service to you, our patients.

Tattoo Removal

ort — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 22:48:02 +0000

When it comes to tattoo removal, no one can compare to our practice. Dr. Ort has been treating tattoos since his days at Harvard in the 1990s. High-powered, Q-switched lasers can effectively remove many tattoos, but no single laser can remove all tattoo colors. While most competitors have just one laser, we offer THREE lasers for tattoo removal: the 1064 nm YAG laser for black and blue tattoos, the 532 nm YAG laser for red and orange tattoos, and the 755 nm alexandrite laser for black, blue and green tattoos. We also surgically remove tattoos for those individuals who want their tattoo removed in one sitting and don’t mind trading it for a surgical scar. If you have a tattoo that you want to get rid of, for whatever reason, don’t hesitate to make an appointment with Dr. Ort to see what his advanced skills can do for you

The most exciting topic in skin aesthetics continues to be DOT CO2 laser skin resurfacing. This is not your mother’s laser treatment. This is the most advanced, cutting-edge laser available, offering exquisite precision, stunning results, and minimal downtime. One treatment can remove ten years worth of wrinkles and sun damage from your skin! Dr. Ort is an expert in the use of lasers, having earned his laser credentials at Harvard University. Let him use his advanced laser skills to take years off your appearance. Think about it- would you really trust your face to anyone else?

Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer

admin — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 20:01:05 +0000

Mohs surgery is an advanced surgical treatment for skin cancer. The American Society for Mohs Surgery is a professional organization with over 1000 members, dedicated to excellence in Mohs surgery. Dr. Ort has been asked to serve a three-year term on the Board of Directors for the ASMS. This is a significant honor which reflects his expertise in the treatment of skin cancer as well as his commitment to teach Mohs surgery to other doctors. We would like to congratulate Dr. Ort on receiving this honor!
