Van Dyke Laser & Skin 1st in Arizona to Offer CLINIQUE MEDICAL Skin Care Line

Clinique and Allergan’s new medical-grade products now available through cosmetic dermatologist, Susan Van Dyke, M.D.

Scottsdale, Ariz.—Oct. 1, 2008—Van Dyke Laser & Skin, a local cosmetic dermatology practice known nationwide for perfecting the latest skin care innovations, announced today the exclusive availability of CLINIQUE MEDICAL skin care line. CLINIQUE MEDICAL, designed to optimize the outcome of non-surgical cosmetic procedures, is the product of an alliance between Clinique, a leader in cosmetic skin care, and Allergan, a leader in medical aesthetics, to advance the science of skin care with clinically proven products. The new line, which was specifically designed for patients under a physician's care, will be generally available through physician offices beginning mid to late October.

The products in the CLINIQUE MEDICAL skin care line work together to help improve the skin’s receptivity to select cosmetic procedures—chemical peels, microdermabrasions and laser skin resurfacing treatments such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). The products aid in the recovery process by encouraging even skin tone, helping to manage post-procedure redness and reducing inflammation. All products in the CLINIQUE MEDICAL regime are allergy tested, 100 percent fragrance free, contain no preservatives and are formulated with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients.

“CLINIQUE MEDICAL’s system is a giant leap in at-home, pre/post procedure skin care. The products work together brilliantly to help speed the skin’s recovery process after select treatments and minimize the skin’s sensitivities traditionally experienced from cosmetic procedures,” said Susan Van Dyke, M.D., board certified dermatologist and founding physician of Van Dyke Laser & Skin. “I am always looking for ways to enhance my patients’ treatments and outcomes, and I think this new regime will help them achieve quicker results with milder recovery effects.”

To kick off the product launch, during the month of October, Van Dyke Laser & Skin will offer CLINIQUE MEDICAL’s Optimizing Regimen kit complimentary with the purchase of a laser resurfacing series and at half off with the purchase of a chemical peel or microdermabrasion series. The five-product kit consists of the following: Probiotic Cleanser, Skin Conditioning Treatment, Recovery Week Complex, Optimizing Treatment Cream and Daily SPF 38. For more details on the promotion or products, call 480.948.5045.

New Dermal Filler Evolence Adds to Consumer Confusion over Injectable Fillers; Local Expert Available to Clarify Options

The only Arizonan selected for national task force to define injectable filler treatment guidelines for physicians, expert Susan Van Dyke, M.D., is often among first to offer newest cosmetic dermatology products

New-to-market Evolence®, approved by the FDA on June 30, joins a dizzying array of injectable fillers available to consumers. Creating a younger look by volumizing the skin, these dermal and sub dermal fillers can correct facial wrinkles and folds; produce sexy, plumped lips; and smooth out acne scars.

Consumers — overwhelmed by the range of options offered in these less invasive, more affordable alternatives to plastic surgery — are also at risk from the increasing incidence of counterfeit products. While there are hundreds of choices in filler products, only a few are actually approved by the FDA, including Artefill, Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast, Elevess, Juvaderm, Perlane, Prevelle Silk (approved just last March), Radiesse, Restylane and Sculptra.

Leading cosmetic dermatologist Susan Van Dyke, M.D., is available to discuss filler options, along with details on why particular fillers are best suited to a specific skin condition or desired outcome.

Dr. Van Dyke is available for commentary on stories such as:
