Dr. Jeffrey Sobell, Director of the Psoriasis Treatment Center at SkinCare Physicians, was part of a select group of psoriasis specialists who reviewed new data presented at the European Academy of Dermatology meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark this October. “We have already made tremendous strides in treating psoriasis in the last decade, yet continued innovation is leading to even more effective therapies. It is astonishing to see that complete clearance of psoriasis will soon be attainable for a majority of patients suffering from moderate-severe,” he reports.

Dermatologists Lecture at Plastic Surgeons Meeting in BostonSkinCare Physicians’ Drs. Dover, Kaminer and Rohrer were invited guest speakers at the 2015 annual meeting of plastic surgeons, The American Society for Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), last weekend in Boston. It is rare for dermatologists to be invited to speak at plastic surgery meetings, and it was a great honor for our physicians to share their expertise with so many plastic surgeons from around the world.
Drs. Jeffrey Dover and Thomas Rohrer spoke at a plenary session called “perioral rejuvenation”. While Dr. Dover addressed the use of neuromodulator and fillers, Dr. Rohrer discussed the use of lasers for perioral rejuvenation.
Dr. Michael Kaminer gave the filler lecture in a room filled with 500 plastic surgeons, and taught about CoolSculpting and non surgical facial rejuvenation, with the help of our Director of Clinical Operations, Andrea DiGiulio. He is here with Dr. Rick D’Amico who invited him.
Drs. Shilpi Khetarpal and Mara Weinstein Velez are two of the three talented dermatologists who recently joined SkinCare Physicians’ Fellowship program to gain valuable, hands-on experience. While Dr. Khetarpal was born in London, Dr. Weinstein Velez was raised on the island of Guam in the Western Pacific where she was exposed to tropical dermatology and diverse skin types at a very young age. Dr. Khetarpal completed her undergraduate and medical education in seven years, earning a combined BS/MD degree, while Dr. Weinstein Velez joined Teach for America and taught high-school chemistry before going to medical school. What did they have in common before joining the SkinCare Physicians family? They both completed their dermatology residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. In her free time, you’ll find Dr. Khetarpal around Boston at various spinning and yoga studios, looking for the best coffee shop or restaurant, or trying out new tech gadgets. She also loves travelling. Out of work, Dr. Weinstein Velez enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, taking zumba or barre classes, or being island-bound for a long trip home!

The FDA-cleared treatment for cellulite, Cellfina, was featured in TotalBeauty.com’s list of 13 Beauty Treatments That Are Worth the Money. Dr. Michael Kaminer reports that “his [Boston-area] patients are ecstatic with the result. Patient satisfaction with Cellfina far surpasses that of any new treatment he has seen come to the market in the past decade.”
