General Practitioners

Warts
Arthritis
Infusion Center at SkinCare Physicians offers intravenous treatments with infliximab (Remicade). Dr. Sobell and his team of skilled registered nurses provide high-level care in a comfortable, state-of-the-art facility. The center also treats other challenging diseases such as psoriatic arthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, pyoderma gangrenosum and sarcoidosis.
Cryotherapy
Scars from injury, surgery, or illness can cause self-consciousness and discomfort. Medical treatment of scars includes steroid injections, cryotherapy (freezing), surgical removal, and skin grafts.
Medical Weight Loss
Dysfunction of the valves within veins contributes to spider veins, and several factors may play a prominent role in their development, including heredity, pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, obesity, and trauma. Although exercise, weight loss, and support hose may limit the number of new vessels, it will not prevent their development.

Orthopedics
Used for over a decade PRP has been used in orthopedics to enhance healing after surgery and injuries, is now being used to enhance hair growth. In addition to white and red blood cells, blood plasma contains platelets which contain high levels of growth factors, messengers that tell our cells to function optimally. It appears that PRP helps to encourage regrowth of hair by stimulating resting hairs to grow and thicken. In dermatology, it is most commonly being used to treat a variety of types of hair loss such as pattern thinning (also known as androgenetic alopecia) in both men and women, as well as less common conditions such as alopecia areata (patches of balding) and frontal fibrosing folliculitis (a type of scarring hair loss.)
Wound Care
Treatment time is about 15-20 minutes and is preceded by an hour-long application of a topical anesthetic gel. The treatment is accompanied by mild tingling of the skin, which ends immediately after the laser is completed. You will not require any wound care after the treatment. Most patients have a moderate amount of post-procedure swelling, and you will experience peeling of the skin on days 3 to 5. Total recovery time is 5-7 days with only mild discomfort for the first few days. We recommend that patients use ice for swelling and apply a gentle moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.
Mohs Surgery
Although skin cancers treated with Mohs surgery are extremely unlikely to recur, an unfortunate statistic is that 50% of people, who develop a basal cell carcinoma, will develop another one within 5 years. That is why it is important to have your skin examined by a dermatologist on a regular basis.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
A number of changes occur in and around the lips with age: lips lose volume, change color and wrinkle, and fine lines appear around the mouth. This is the result of the natural decrease in collagen production and moisture levels, as well as physiological and environmental factors. SkinCare Physicians’ lip rejuvenation program near Boston includes minimally invasive treatments such as Botox and Dysport to weaken the pucker that causes the lines, facial fillers to augment thinning lips and fill the lines, microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production, Pellevé to tighten the skin, and our latest advanced laser procedure OMAR to smooth the lines.
Brow Lift
Additional uses of Botox and Dysport include the non-surgical brow lift, where they are used to effect an elevation of the eyebrows, as well as treatment of neck wrinkles and muscular bands. These are remarkable advances in the treatment of the aging face, as previous traditional approaches to eyebrow depression and neck aging have only been invasive surgical procedures.
Eyelid Surgery
Sagging brows and upper eyelids, puffy under-eye bags, and excess, wrinkled skin can make you look tired and older than you feel. At SkinCare Physicians, we can help you look more youthful and rested with non-surgical options and eyelid surgery. Boston area women and men who want to look vibrant and refreshed can take years off with today’s advanced treatments.
Liposuction
Over 10 years ago, our practice was one of a handful of initial centers in the world that was hand-picked to offer CoolSculpting, a completely non-invasive fat removal technique. Today, truSculpt iD adds a new non-surgical fat reduction procedure to our dermatologists’ toolbox. Instead of the selective cold fat damage produced by CoolSculpting, the radiofrequency used by truSculpt iD permanently melt fat in localized areas. While other companies and devices claim to reduce fat without surgery, CoolSculpting and truSculpt iD are the first treatments that actually remove fat safely, effectively, and permanently. Several of our physicians were involved in the research and development of CoolSculpting, and we have proven scientific evidence that the technique really does work. Both FDA-approved, these fat removal treatments are comfortable and do not require anesthesia. While CoolSculpting takes 1 to 2 hours per area treated, truSculpt iD treatments last 15-minute only, with virtually no downtime. CoolSculpting enables us to effectively treat the abdomen, love handles, hips, bra-line, and now with updated technology both the inner and outer thighs. With the shape and size of truSculpt iD’s applicators, we are now able to treat additional areas of fat that are too small for the CoolSculpting applicators, such as small bulges over women’s and men’s love handles, or pockets around the belly button or around a scar, and can further customize our fat reduction treatments to patients’ specific body shape. CoolSculpting and truSculpt iD provide SkinCare Physicians’ dermatologists with a more comprehensive and versatile approach to fat reduction. In many cases, we are able to get results nearly equivalent to liposuction, but without any surgery
Breast Augmentation
Yes. Few patients are aware that unwanted hand and chest veins can be treated just as effectively. The hands can be a telltale sign of aging. Over time, as the skin thins and muscle tissues and fat deposits in the hands decrease, veins appear larger, making the hands appear aged or masculine. Likewise, a number of women tend to have visible breast veins especially after breast augmentation surgery. If deemed unsightly, breast veins can easily be treated with sclerotherapy.
Face Lift
Advanced medical technology makes it possible to have firmer, smoother skin without a facelift, brow lift, tummy tuck, or other cosmetic surgery. At SkinCare Physicians, we use our in-depth understanding of the skin and the latest medical devices to choose the treatments that best benefit our patients. Visit us for non-surgical skin tightening treatments in our greater Boston center and we’ll help you feel more confident about your appearance.
Blepharoplasty
If you are considering a Boston area blepharoplasty procedure, our team of medical professionals can help. Request a consultation online or contact us at
Scar Revision
At SkinCare Physicians, our dermatologists are internationally recognized as leaders in the management of scars. Because each patient is unique, a special set of skills is required to properly evaluate and manage patients with scars. In some cases, several physicians with varied areas of expertise are consulted for optimal outcomes. One of the advantages of coming to SkinCare Physicians is that our physicians have a wide range of expertise and work together, often on the same day, to provide patients with the most complete care available. We offer the most recent and innovative techniques and equipment, including advanced laser technology, needed to provide scar revision and removal for patients in greater Boston.
Body Contouring
Muscle sculpting is the latest addition to our body contouring arsenal. While working out has long been the only way to increase our abdominal (and other) muscles, we now have new technology to help you gain muscle far faster than you can on our own. truSculpt Flex works to contract muscles of the abdomen and thighs much more strongly than we are capable of doing by ourselves.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments for scars. With this procedure, thin layers of skin are removed, layer by layer, until the scar fades or disappears. At the same time the skin tightens to further smooth out the scar. In most cases, any necessary surgical treatment of scars is completed prior to laser resurfacing. The laser treatment is scheduled 3 to 12 weeks after the last surgical treatment to give the skin time to heal and remodel.
Moles
There are many types of skin growths such as moles, seborrheic keratoses, and sebaceous hyperplasia papules (enlarged oil glands) that are typically harmless. Moles are formed by groupings of pigment cells (melanocytes), and can exist since birth or develop later in life. They can be raised or flat, and range from skin color to very dark brown or black. It’s important to examine your skin regularly to look for any changes in the color, texture, or appearance of any moles or other skin growths. If you note a change, have a concern, or are interested in a cosmetic improvement such as mole removal in greater Boston, visit the experienced professionals at SkinCare Physicians.
Cosmetic Surgery
It’s important to feel satisfied and confident about your appearance, and that may involve more than just beautiful skin. There are many ways in which cosmetic surgery can help you attain the look you envision for yourself. The experienced surgeons at SkinCare Physicians, located just outside of downtown Boston, specialize in cosmetic surgery procedures that can help you look naturally younger and more attractive.

Cosmetic Dermatology
The team of skin care professionals and world-class physicians at SkinCare Physicians offers a variety of cosmetic dermatology treatments for people from Boston, Brookline, and surrounding areas.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is the most common form of all cancers. Roughly 3 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year alone. At SkinCare Physicians, we are experienced specialists in identifying skin cancer and are dedicated to providing effective, appropriate skin cancer treatment for our Boston patients. An important first step in fighting skin cancer is learning where on your body to watch for it and what signs to look for.
Dermatology
As a research-centered dermatology practice serving the Boston area, SkinCare Physicians remains at the forefront of the latest breakthroughs in the field. Our patients directly benefit from a diverse, continually updated knowledge base.
Acne Treatment
Acne treatment is often not straightforward; our experience enables us to recommend the options best suited to your condition and lifestyle.
Eczema
Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes red, scaly, often itchy rashes on the skin. There are many types of eczema and most areas of the body are susceptible, from the scalp to the feet. Irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis result from the body’s reaction to a substance that touches the skin. Many babies develop eczema on the cheeks and scalp by age 1 without a definite cause. At SkinCare Physicians, we are actively involved in the research and development of treatments for eczema to bring relief to Boston-area residents of every age.
Lesions
Medical treatment plans consisting of prescription topical creams, such as metronidazole, azelaic acid and/or brimonidine, sodium sulfacetamide cleansers and/or low dose oral antibiotics can be extremely helpful in addressing the flushing and acne-like lesions associated with rosacea.
Chemical Peels
A superficial chemical peel treatment is the application of acids which cause exfoliation and accelerate the removal of dead skin cells. They have been shown to prevent breakdown of collagen and stimulate the process of natural skin renewal. Unlike the deeper phenol of TCA peel, the depth of penetration is kept to the epidermal or superficial dermis, eliminating the crusting or peeling that may happen with deeper peels.
Rashes
Skin Care
Our team of licensed aestheticians has been hand-picked and trained by our physicians, and possess special skills that will enable them to fully understand your skin and work with you to improve its look and feel. Our aestheticians perform skin care treatments that incorporate the most advanced techniques that are available in the aesthetic industry today. The goal of treatment is to improve the appearance of your skin by focusing on your concerns and analyzing any problems, along with utilizing the physician’s expertise in skin disorders and general skin care.
Microdermabrasion
Clear + Brilliant ™ is less aggressive than our fractional laser treatments, yet slightly more aggressive than microdermabrasion. This gentle fractional laser treatment can prevent signs of aging and maintain improvements from Fraxel treatments.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an incurable, non-contagious autoimmune skin disease that affects 3 out of every 100 Americans. The condition can cause intense itching, cracking, bleeding and flaking of the skin. When severe, psoriasis can interfere with sleep, relationships, work and daily functioning.
