Modus product-?efficacy
Analysis of: No Hydroquinone, Means No Worries for Modus. Dr.’s Applaud Europe’s New Import To Fight Signs of Aging | www.rushprnews.com
Author: Sunil Dhawan, Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology, Stanford University
The new Modus product "without hydroquinone" cannot be fully evaluated on the basis of the currently available information. Decisions based on the opinions of a "Beauty Editor", and 6 years worth of studies with only 4 patients, are tenuous at best, and laughable at worst. It will be difficult to unseat...

Already here....
Analysis of: Getting a Discount on Plastic Surgery | online.wsj.com
Author: Michael Bain, Plastic and Reconstructive Physician, Michael A Bain, MD
Discount cosmetic surgery is already here, but not via large commercial companies.  Retention of actual plastic and reconstructive surgeons may be difficult if they are not paying well.  There is a place for this, however the solo practitioner will continue to have word of mouth and a place....

FDA Hydroquinone ban may be premature
Analysis of: FDA May Place Ban on OTC Bleaching Creams | www.carefair.com
Author: Sunil Dhawan, Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology, Stanford University
The possible ban of over the counter hydroquinone skin bleaching agents may be premature. We have used these agents for 20 years without any significant side effects including ochronosis or paradoxical darkening of the skin. These agents are only modestly effective at best. Most patients still...

be careful what you ask for
Analysis of: Getting a Discount on Plastic Surgery | online.wsj.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
Cosmetic surgery is a unique entity in the free market economy. Less price does not always mean equal service. For years doctors who were plastic surgeons did reconstructive surgery  but it rarely was able to generate adequate income alone so many turned to also doing cosmetic surgery. As time...

Non-Invasive Screening of the Skin
Analysis of: New tool allows noninvasive screening of skin lesions | www.modernmedicine.com
Author: Kenneth Edelson, Owner, Kenneth Edelson, MD
The company hopes to apply for European regulatory approval next year, with U.S. market approval and launch to follow. The current price of the device is 15,000 EUR. This device promises to be a remarkable time and money saver for medicine. Approximately 80-95% of lesions excised by dermatologists prove...

For wounds, it is going to happen
Analysis of: Home telemonitoring works, study claims | www.healthcareitnews.com
Author: Michael Bain, Plastic and Reconstructive Physician, Michael A Bain, MD
In the Plastic Surgery literature wound care via home monitoring is advanced enough to change outcomes.  See Murphy, Bain et al in the Annals of Plastic Surgery June 2005. Home telemonitoring is good for certain problems, that require regular monitoring.  It has been shown to be equivalent...

Ceragenix Epiceram product phase 4 results positive
Analysis of: Ceragenix Announces Results from Phase IV Study of EpiCeram(TM) Meet All Primary and Secondary Endpoints | www.irconnect.com
Author: Sunil Dhawan, Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology, Stanford University
The recent Epiceram phase 4 data comparing it to Cutivate are positive, and bode well for the product. The concept of barrier repair makes sense in light of the recent findings in regards to the genetic basis of atopic dermatitis. Repairing the barrier with Epiceram will reduce inflammation, and the...
