May is Melanoma Month

ort — Fri, 04 May 2012 15:21:39 +0000

May is designated as National Melanoma Awareness Month. Malignant melanoma is a deadly skin cancer that can strike young and old alike. It is usually brown in color but can be various shades of pink, brown, black, or blue. Melanoma in young people has been linked to use of tanning beds and we strongly discourage this. Early diagnosis and removal are the key to cure and survival. Remember, if you or someone you know has a new or changing mole, get it checked promptly by a dermatologist. You may save a life!

New Filler Technique!

ort — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:02:19 +0000

Fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm are a non-invasive way to smooth away lines and restore lost volume in the face. We are using an exciting new method to inject fillers using small, blunt cannulas rather than sharp needles. This is much more gentle and minimizes bruising and swelling. Our patients are loving the results and the lack of bruising! If you have had filler injections done elsewhere, experience the difference at Dermatology and Laser Institute, where your comfort is our first priority.

New Tattoo Laser!

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:01:44 +0000

We recently added the Q-switched ruby laser to our practice. We now offer four different lasers for tattoo removal: ruby, alexandrite, and two Nd:YAG lasers. No other practice in Denver is able to match this. Most competitors offer one laser which cannot treat all colors. With a choice of four tattoo lasers, we can pick the right laser for your tattoo every time. If you have a tattoo that no longer represents you, now is the time to get it removed!

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!

Dr. Reimer has started!

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

ort — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 21:50:21 +0000

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.”
