Dr. Emmy Graber received a glowing review on the internet. Here is what one of her patients said: "I go to Dr. Emmy Graber for my acne and I can't say enough amazing things about her. First of all, she is unbelievably nice and immediately put me at ease, which is difficult because I didn't have any make-up on and felt incredibly exposed with my acne uncovered. She is a young doctor, but you can immediately tell that she is quite intelligent when it comes to her practice. Having suffered from humiliating acne since I was 11, I was shocked to finally find a dermatologist that listens to me! She looked at my skin and discovered something that no one else had - it was hormonal acne! Therefore, all of the painful and expensive treatments that I was using previously (including Accutane, antibiotics, Retin A, and everything else out there) would have no effect on my acne. She prescribed Spironolactone and within 3 months, my skin was amazing. Going to see her was undoubtedly the best decision I've made in many years. It's now beach season and it feels so good to be able to go outside without caking on make-up (but I always wear my SPF!). I can't thank her enough; I feel more confident about my appearance than I ever have before!"

New Acne Treatment at SkinCare Physicians! SkinCare Physicians was among the first sites in the world to use Photopneumatic Technology (Photo = Light; Pneumatic = Vacuum/Suction) and is proud to offer Isolaz, powered by this innovative new technology. Isolaz Acne Treatments are painless, non-invasive treatments for acne. The quick 20 minute Isolaz procedure requires no anesthetic and uses suction to help mechanically clear clogged pores while the light helps destroy acne causing bacteria. Patients love the instant gratification that comes with seeing "white specs" literally sucked out of their pores. Over the course of the treatment, patients notice a reduction in pore size, less oily skin and of course a very visible improvement in their acne.
Typically, patients require 4-5 treatment sessions and results are usually visible 24-48 hours after treatment. The Isolaz is FDA cleared for the treatment of numerous types of acne and has been featured in Vogue, Elle, Allure, Harpers Bazaar, Self, New Beauty, New York Weddings,The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal in the past four months.
