Drs. Michael Kaminer and Deanne Robinson, who conducted the studies that resulted in the FDA approval of Cellfina for long term improvement of cellulite, are extensively quoted in this article from Beauty In The Bag. “A staggering 64 million women between the ages of 24-45 in the U.S. spend $1B on cellulite treatments every year, says Dr. Robinson. And as we all know, most of the available treatments don’t make a huge difference. […] We see visible results in three days, and patients continue to look even better over time,” she said.

Today is One Boston Day, and Mayor Marty Walsh asks us all, “What will you do?”. Here at Skincare Physicians, we are still providing state-of-the art laser treatments to those injured and scarred in the blasts 2 years ago, through our Boston Marathon Project Heal.
One of the individuals treated through this project recently had this to say:
“Words cannot describe it, but there it goes! Having the laser treatments done have allowed me to become proud of my ‘battle wounds’. I was embarrassed of them before, but now I can be proud. I truly believe in the quote I found… ‘Never be ashamed of a scar, it simply means you were stronger than what tried to hurt you’.
I can’t say thank you enough for everything that you at SkinCare Physicians have done for me and all the other survivors that received treatments. Despite missing some of my leg, I was able to return back to feeling ‘normal’ and ‘pretty’ because of you guys!”
