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 ban on Hydroquinones
Analysis of: FDA May Place Ban on OTC Bleaching Creams | www.carefair.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor

I have yet to see any study that would prclude me from recommending these products. I believe if utilized correctly and dosed appropriately it would be a disservice to our patients if the ability to prescribe this were taken away.

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...

Non-Invasive Screening of the Skin
Analysis of: New tool allows noninvasive screening of skin lesions | www.modernmedicine.com

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.

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...
