Radiesse NYC - Premier Treatment Center

Radiesse, formerly known as Radiance, is a state-of-the-art injectable filler that effectively reduces wrinkles, creases, and scars by boosting the body's natural collagen supply. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a biocompatible gel, Radiesse is derived from the same minerals found in bones, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions. This makes Radiesse a superior alternative to other treatments.

Why Choose Radiesse?

Radiesse is versatile and can be used on various parts of the body, with the most common treatment areas including nasolabial folds, peri-oral lines, depressed scars, and oral commissures. Additionally, Radiesse is excellent for non-surgical cheek augmentation, providing higher, fuller cheeks and restoring facial volume in all the right places. Dr. Gary Rothfeld has been featured on national television, news, and radio programs, recognized for his expertise in non-surgical nose jobs using Radiesse.

Radiesse Treatments

  • Quick and Convenient: Treatments typically take only 15 minutes and require local anesthesia.
  • Immediate Results: Visible immediately after the injection.
  • Long-lasting Effects: Results can last for months or even years, with the possibility of repeated treatments.

Comprehensive Pre-Assessment

Before undergoing Radiesse treatment, a thorough pre-assessment is vital. Dr. Rothfeld will carefully evaluate your skin type and medical history to ensure Radiesse is the right treatment for you. This personalized approach ensures the best possible outcomes for each patient.

Propecia Treatment Center

Generic name: Finasteride
Brand names: Propecia

Propecia Treatment Center NYC

Welcome to the Propecia Treatment Center NYC, located in the heart of Manhattan, New York. We are open 7 days a week to provide you with expert care for hair loss.

Why is Propecia Prescribed?

Propecia is a highly effective treatment for male pattern baldness, targeting mild to moderate hair loss on the top and front of the scalp. It promotes hair growth, improves hair regrowth, and slows hair loss. Propecia works exclusively on scalp hair and does not affect body hair.

You may begin to see improvement as early as 3 months after starting Propecia, but it may take longer for some men. Consistent use is key, as stopping the medication will halt new hair growth and resume hair loss.

Important Information About Propecia

Propecia is not for use by women, especially during pregnancy, as it can cause abnormalities in the development of a male baby's genital organs.

How to Take Propecia

For maximum benefit, take Propecia once a day, with or without food. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to your next dose. Do not double up doses.

Storage Instructions: Store Propecia at room temperature in a closed container, away from moisture.

Side Effects

Propecia's side effects are rare and primarily sexual, affecting one or two men in a hundred. If you experience any side effects, contact your doctor. Possible side effects include breast tenderness and enlargement, decreased semen volume, decreased sex drive, impotence, itching, rash, swelling, and testicular pain.

Who Should Avoid Propecia?

Women who are or may become pregnant should avoid Propecia due to its potential effects on male babies. Additionally, avoid Propecia if you have had allergic reactions to it in the past.

About Dr. Gary Rothfeld

Dr. Gary Rothfeld, a Board Certified Dermatologist, personally sees every new patient at our Manhattan office. With an international reputation for excellence in Propecia treatment, Dr. Rothfeld is committed to providing top-tier dermatologic care, treating every patient with courtesy, dignity, and respect.

# 1 Pimple Doctor in NYC | Top Acne Treatment Center in New York City

Pimples NYC Treatment Center

Understanding Acne:

Acne vulgaris, commonly known as acne, starts when oil and dead skin cells clog your pores, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or zits. Mild acne presents as a few red spots, while severe acne can cover the face, neck, chest, and back with hundreds of pimples or painful cysts.

Acne often begins in adolescence due to hormonal changes but can persist into adulthood, especially in women around their menstrual cycles. Emotional impact varies, with some individuals unaffected by severe acne, while others may feel distressed over mild breakouts.

Causes of Acne:

Acne results from clogged pores filled with oil and dead skin cells. Germs entering the pores can cause swelling, redness, and pus. Although diet is not directly responsible for acne, using oily skin products can exacerbate the condition. Acne can also be hereditary.

Symptoms:

Acne manifests as whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples on the face, neck, shoulders, back, or chest. Large, deep pimples, known as cystic lesions, can be painful and may scar the skin if infected.

Treatment Options:

At Pimples NYC Treatment Center, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments to help manage and clear acne:

  • Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter creams with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid are effective for mild acne. Consistent use is crucial for seeing results, typically within 6-8 weeks.

  • Prescription Treatments: For persistent acne, Dr. Gary Rothfeld may prescribe stronger topical agents or oral medications, including antibiotics or certain birth control pills for women.

  • Advanced Treatments: For severe cases, treatments may include oral isotretinoin, which is highly effective but requires careful monitoring due to potential side effects. Alternatives include high-dose antibiotics and hormonal treatments.

  • Acne Scar Treatments: We offer various procedures to improve the appearance of acne scars, such as laser therapy, microdermabrasion, and injectable fillers like Juvederm.

Comprehensive Acne Management:

Effective acne management involves keeping the skin clean, avoiding pore-clogging products, and using noncomedogenic skin care. Dr. Rothfeld emphasizes a personalized approach, tailoring treatments to each patient's specific needs and skin type.

Why Choose Us:

Dr. Gary Rothfeld personally sees every patient, ensuring the highest standard of care. As a Board-Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Rothfeld provides the same level of attention and expertise he would expect for his own family. We do not use physician assistants or nurse practitioners, ensuring that every patient receives direct, specialized care.

Teenage Acne Treatment NYC

The Premier Teenage Acne Treatment Center in NYC and the World

At the Teenage Acne NYC Treatment Center, located at 629 Park Ave, New York, NY, we specialize in providing exceptional care for teenage acne. Under the expert supervision of Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld, a board-certified dermatologist renowned for his contributions to modern dermatology, we aim to be the number one destination for teenage acne treatment in NYC and globally.

Understanding Teenage Acne

Acne typically begins in the early teenage years when the body's oil glands start producing more sebum. In individuals prone to acne, dead skin cells mix with excess oil, clogging hair follicles. Bacteria thrive in these blocked follicles, leading to skin irritation.

Types of Acne:

  • Whiteheads: Form when hair follicles are clogged with oil and skin cells.
  • Blackheads: Occur when the clogged material is exposed to air, turning black (not due to dirt).
  • Pimples: Develop if the follicle wall breaks near the surface.
  • Cystic Acne: Forms if the wall breaks deep within the skin, leading to painful nodules or cysts.

Factors Worsening Acne

  • Oil-based makeup, suntan oil, and hair products
  • Stress and hormonal changes
  • Squeezing or picking at blemishes
  • Vigorous scrubbing of the skin

Common Misconceptions About Acne

Acne is not caused by:

  • Dirt
  • Chocolate or greasy foods
  • Sexual activity or masturbation

Who Gets Acne?

Both boys and girls are affected by acne, with boys often experiencing more severe cases due to higher oil production. Genetics also play a role; if your parents had acne, you might too. The immune system's sensitivity to bacteria in hair follicles also influences acne severity. While many people see improvement by age 25, acne can persist into adulthood.

Treating Acne

There are numerous treatment options for acne, ranging from over-the-counter products to prescription medications. Consult with Dr. Rothfeld to determine the best approach for your skin.

Over-the-Counter Treatments:

  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Resorcinol
  • Salicylic acid
  • Sulfur

These are available in various forms, such as gels, lotions, creams, soaps, and pads. Some may cause side effects like skin irritation, burning, or redness. If symptoms persist, consult Dr. Rothfeld.

Prescription Medications:

  • Antibiotics: Effective for many acne cases, available in oral or topical forms.
  • Retinoids: Topical treatments like tretinoin (Retin-A) and adapalene (Differin) are used daily but must be used with caution around sensitive areas. Avoid sun exposure or use strong sunscreen as retinoids increase sunburn risk. Pregnant women should avoid certain retinoids like tazarotene due to the risk of birth defects.

Severe Cystic Acne Treatment:

  • Isotretinoin (Accutane): A potent medication for severe cases, taken orally for 15-20 weeks. It requires strict birth control measures for women and close monitoring due to potential serious side effects.

Preventing Acne Scars

To minimize scarring, avoid squeezing or picking at acne and harsh scrubbing. If scarring occurs, Dr. Rothfeld offers various treatments to help reduce their appearance.

Why Choose Us?

Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld is recognized by the entertainment industry for his excellence in dermatology, treating Hollywood’s most notable faces. At our comprehensive skin care center, every treatment is personalized to fit each patient's needs. Dr. Rothfeld personally sees every new patient, ensuring high-quality care with courtesy, dignity, and respect.

World-Leading Skin Cancer Treatment Center - Open 7 Days a Week in New York, NY

 Skin cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in the United States, with over 500,000 new cases reported annually. The incidence is increasing faster than any other type of cancer. This is a significant concern, particularly in Manhattan. The three primary types of skin cancer include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma.

 Types of Skin Cancer

  1. Basal Cell Carcinoma

    • Overview: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer and fortunately, the least dangerous. It typically grows slowly and rarely spreads beyond its original site. However, if left untreated, it can cause significant damage by growing deep into the underlying tissues and bones, particularly near the eye.

  2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    • Overview: Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer. It often appears on sun-exposed areas like the lips, face, or ears and can sometimes spread to lymph nodes and internal organs, becoming life-threatening if not treated.

  3. Malignant Melanoma

    • Overview: Malignant melanoma is the least common but the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Its incidence is rapidly increasing, especially in sunbelt states. Early detection and treatment are crucial, as melanoma can be completely cured if caught early. However, if not treated promptly, it can spread throughout the body and be fatal.

       Expert Care: Our melanoma specialists collaborate with a team of physicians to ensure the best possible outcomes. With years of experience treating melanoma, we understand the challenges faced by patients and their loved ones. Early-stage melanoma may be cured with surgery alone, while advanced cases often require additional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.


Other Skin Growths to Know About

  • Moles: Clusters of heavily pigmented skin cells, which can be either flat or raised. While most moles are harmless, some, particularly large moles present at birth or those with irregular borders, may develop into malignant melanoma. Moles are often removed for cosmetic reasons or if they are frequently irritated by clothing or jewelry.

  • Actinic Keratoses (Pre-Cancer): Rough, scaly patches commonly found on sun-exposed areas. They can sometimes develop into squamous cell carcinoma. Known as solar keratosis, these pre-cancerous lesions are best treated early, often with cryosurgery (freezing).

Recognizing Skin Cancer

Basal and squamous cell carcinomas can appear as small, white or pink nodules, red scaly spots, firm red lumps, crusted groups of nodules, or sores that bleed or don’t heal. Malignant melanoma is often indicated by changes in the size, shape, or color of a mole or a new growth. Remember the "ABCD" warning signs: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, and Diameter over 6 millimeters.

Regular self-examination and professional check-ups are crucial. Skin cancer can appear on any part of the body, but 80% occur on the face, head, or neck, where they can be both disfiguring and dangerous.

Prevention and Treatment

The primary cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet radiation from the sun and artificial sources like tanning booths. Risk factors include fair skin, light-colored hair and eyes, a large number of moles, a family history of skin cancer, and a history of blistering sunburns.

Comprehensive Care at Skin Cancer NYC Treatment Center

At the Skin Cancer NYC Treatment Center, our goal is to educate patients about the different types of skin cancer, their causes, and preventive measures. We offer advanced diagnostic and treatment options to ensure the best outcomes with minimal scarring.

Syringoma Treatment Center - Open 7 Days a Week in New York, NY

 The Syringoma Treatment Center of New York, located in Manhattan, is one of the premier destinations nationally for managing skin lesions such as syringomas. Led by Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld, our center provides expert care with a focus on advanced and minimally invasive treatments.

Understanding Syringomas

Syringomas are benign skin growths that commonly appear around the eyes and are more frequently seen in females. These non-symptomatic, flesh-colored to yellow papules often emerge around puberty and can be a cosmetic concern.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

At our center, Dr. Gary provides a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of your skin, discussing all available treatment options to ensure the best possible outcome with minimal scarring. Our advanced treatments include:

Electrodesiccation

  • A less invasive technique than surgical excision, electrodesiccation uses a fine probe that emits heat to lift or cauterize the syringoma. This method is safe, effective, and typically does not leave scars. Post-procedure, the treated area appears white, with redness and inflammation that resolve as a scab forms and heals over 5-7 days. Multiple treatments may be necessary.

Cryotherapy

  • Using liquid nitrogen, cryotherapy freezes and destroys syringoma cells. The quick procedure may cause discomfort and typically results in a blister that forms a scab, which falls off in about 7-10 days. A white mark may remain, especially on lighter skin tones.

Laser Treatment (CO2 or Erbium)

  • Recent advancements have shown laser treatment to be highly effective for syringoma removal with reduced scarring compared to traditional methods. Pulses of laser energy target and remove syringomas, offering a promising option for patients seeking advanced care.

Surgical Excision

  • Although generally not recommended due to high scarring risk, surgical excision may be considered in certain cases. This method involves local anesthesia and stitches, with longer healing times.

Our goal is to offer scar-free destruction of lesions, ensuring patients achieve the best cosmetic results.

Payment and Accessibility

  • We accept all credit and debit cards for payment of services.

Pearly Penile Papules: Expert Diagnosis and Treatment by Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld

 Case Overview: A 19-year-old patient was referred for treatment of multiple papular lesions on the glans of his circumcised penis, initially misdiagnosed as condyloma acuminatum. Upon further evaluation, these lesions were identified as Pearly Penile Papules. This benign condition is characterized by small, smooth, skin-colored papules distributed circumferentially around the coronal sulcus of the glans penis. Pearly penile papules are asymptomatic acral angiofibromas, commonly observed in men post-puberty, with an incidence rate of up to 35%. They are particularly prevalent in black and circumcised men. Accurate diagnosis is essential to alleviate patient anxiety and avoid unnecessary treatments.

 Treatment Options:

  • Medical Care: Pearly penile papules are typically asymptomatic and may not require treatment. However, some patients seek intervention due to cosmetic concerns.

  • Surgical Care: For patients who desire treatment, options include:

    • Ablation using Carbon Dioxide Laser: Provides effective removal with minimal discomfort.
    • Cryosurgery: Involves freezing the papules for gradual elimination.
    • Electrosurgery: Uses electrical currents to remove papules.
    • Excisional Surgery: Surgically removes papules with precision.
    • Fractional Ablative Lasers: Recent advancements offer promising results with minimal downtime.
    • Topical Podophyllin: Largely ineffective for this condition.

Consultations:

  • Dermatologist Consultation: Useful for confirming the diagnosis and exploring treatment options.

Diet and Activity:

  • Diet: Not a factor in the development or management of pearly penile papules.
  • Activity: Not associated with personal hygiene or sexual activity.

Medication:

  • No effective topical or oral medical therapies are available for treating pearly penile papules.

About Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld: At the Pearly Penile Papules NYC Treatment Center, Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld provides unparalleled expertise in dermatology and cosmetic procedures. As a board-certified dermatologist with an international reputation, Dr. Rothfeld personally oversees every patient’s care. Our Park Avenue practice is known for its pioneering techniques in treating pearly penile papules and other dermatological conditions.

 Rosacea NYC Treatment Center: Leading the Way in Rosacea Care Globally

 Rosacea is a prevalent chronic skin condition primarily affecting the face and eyes, marked by redness, pimples, and broken blood vessels. Typically emerging between ages 30 and 60, it is more common among fair-skinned individuals and menopausal women.

 About Rosacea

Rosacea often affects people of Celtic or Scandinavian descent, usually starting after age 30. It's more prevalent in women but tends to be more severe in men, affecting over 13 million Americans. 

Diagnosing rosacea involves a visual assessment, as there are no specific lab tests for it.

 Rosacea Treatment Center

Rosacea typically presents as persistent redness, small inflamed bumps, and visible blood vessels, primarily affecting the cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose. Triggers include alcohol, temperature extremes, spicy foods, stress, and sunlight. Though not contagious, rosacea can run in families.

Impact on Life

Rosacea can cause significant emotional distress, leading to anxiety, depression, and social difficulties. Severe cases can result in facial swelling (lymphoedema), bulbous nose (rhinophyma), and eye issues such as rosacea keratitis.

Diagnostic and Treatment Procedures

Diagnosis is primarily visual, with treatments tailored to individual needs. Options include:

  • Medications: Topical metronidazole, azelaic acid, oral antibiotics like doxycycline.
  • Laser Therapy: For persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and rhinophyma.
  • Light Therapy: Intense pulsed light (IPL) for redness and flushing.
