One of my favorite things about being a dermatologist in Miami is the whole host of “toys” I get to play with and use to make people look and feel better, fresher, and younger. Don't get me wrong, curing and preventing skin cancer is pretty darn cool too, but using laser beams and other devices that are the cutting edge of technology also makes me smile. Normal women collect bags, shoes, and clothing. Not to say that I don't indulge in those items at times, but I mostly save up and buy new technology.

Is it possible that the medication that gives you thick, long, luscious lashes can also give those that are follicularly challenged (aka balding) on the scalp some new hope? Allergan, Inc. announced today that it is beginning phase 2 trials of Latisse (bimatoprost) as a therapy for hair loss and expects to have results as early as next year.

In South Florida where I practice dermatology, it is always sandal season. But many men and women hide their toes in the shadows of closed-toe shoes because they are embarrassed by a microscopic invader- toenail fungus. Nail fungus, or onychomycosis in medical jargon, usually appears as a white or yellow spot under the tip of the nail. As it spreads deeper, it can cause changes in the color of the nail, and lead to thickening and crumbling of the nail. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 12% of the population has nail fungus. And while toenails are affected more frequently than finger nails, the problem can be easily spread and is notoriously difficult to treat. While potentially dangerous in patients with diabetes, circulatory problems, or immunosupression, toenail fungus is often considered a cosmetic, and not a medical problem by many insurance companies for otherwise healthy patients. So what are those challenged by this bugger to do?

Coolsculpting by Zeltiq® that is…I admit I was hesitant when I first heard that you could freeze away fat. As a huge fan of the medical condition called “popsicle panniclitis” as a medical student (this is when kids lose the fat in their cheeks from sucking on too many popsicles during the summer), I was intrigued when I heard the science behind the device was based on the same principle. 
Fat freezes at a warmer temperature than skin. Freezing the fat causes the cells to die, break down and then be resorbed by the body. If you use the right temperature, only the fat will freeze. Surrounding tissue such as vessels, nerves, and skin require much colder temperatures to be damaged so they are completely unaffected. Simple idea, great science (it was developed by scientists at Mass General/Harvard), but how can this be made into a machine that can get rid of your muffin top, love handles, back fat, and any other unwanted pooch?

Merz Aesthetics announced today that they have received FDA approval for Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxin) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, also known as frown lines or the "elevens" in adult patients. This now presents a third option in the head-to-head battle that has been taking place between Botox® (Allergan) and Dysport® (Medicis). Who will become the "middle child" remains to be seen, but this presents some pretty interesting options for patients and physicians.
