Dr. Hellman has assisted me in reclaiming my dignity after my sexual assault which occured in June 2017 by reclaiming my face and skin of the ware and stress with different laser treatments, botox and fillers which gave me more confidence and sense of self worth once again. When she told me about Votiva and the benefits of stress incontinence I thought further of the benefits realizing how the laser treatments almost gave me the feeling of turning back the clock on my face neck and chest, and wanted to feel the same where I was assaulted. Combining the treatment with the crisis therapy I am currently in I feel it was just what I needed to get over wall I had hit in therapy and move forward. Updated on 3 Oct 2017:
Dr. Hellman is by far the best dermatologist I have ever been to. She always attentively listens to my concerns and recommends skincare routines tailored to my individual needs. I continue to follow her advice, and my skin now looks amazing! The glycolic peels are fantastic. Service at Big Apple Skin Dermatologist is exceptional - the entire staff are friendly, courteous, and efficient. Highly recommended.
From time to time one has the privilege of having a medical provider of clearly superior caliber. I had that experience since 2015 when I became a patient of Dr. Judith Hellman MD. It is my pleasure to write this review of support on behalf of Dr. Judith Hellman MD and her staff members, who were my sole dermatology provider in New York City. Dr. Hellman and her staff participated and/or assisted with under the direction of Dr. Hellman in the evaluation and management of dermatological diseases as well as cosmetic surgical procedures. Dr. Hellman is an extremely intelligent, highly motivated, conscientious and gifted physician. She is well read and possesses an excellent fund of both basic sciences and clinical medicine knowledge. Furthermore, her staff are highly intelligent, perceptive medical professionals, hard working and honest, with an excellent rapport towards their fellow patients and the community at large. In their work, they are consistent, dedicated and passionate, enthusiastic, cheerful, and a pleasure to have as medical providers. Recently, I have undergone Restylane tear trough procedure and happily expect to have it redone again in six months or so. Like everyone who thought about having this done, I've done hours and hours of research as well as had a lengthy and fruitful discussion with Dr. Hellman. I was unhappy with the shadows and depressions that occur under my eyes. Friends, family members, and colleagues have always commented how tired I look even though I've had 7-9 hours of uninterpreted sleep at night. This made me very self-conscious at best and at times very reluctant to be a part of black tie events. This is, of course, New York, and a confident self image could literally open networks and potential business partnerships. Dr. Hellman reassured me that this procedure, if done by an experienced cosmetic dermatologist, like herself, will yield an excellent result. It involves the injection of Restylane, which is hyaluronic acid fillers, giving a soft, natural correction to facial hollows. I also had a second opinion at a plastic surgeon's office. Little unbeknownst to me the surgeon doesn't do consultations but it was a non-medical professional sales representatives. It was like "WOW!"...seriously?? I went back to Dr. Hellman and went forward with the procedure. It is without a doubt a very painless treatment with no post-procedure downtime. It's now four weeks forward and I am extremely satisfied. I've received tons of compliments and have gain a sense of confidence I never knew I had before. I'm happier at work. Best of all I'm happier at home and you know what that means :) I highly recommend Dr. Hellman for your medical and cosmetic dermatological needs. I certainly will continue my care with her.
Fractora is an excellent treatment for acne scars. Until recently, it was difficult to correct acne scars including ice pick scars, as the different modalities available didn't give very satisfying outcomes. . The Fractora treatment utilizes Radiofrequency (RF) to both knock out the actual acne lesions and also stimulate the skin to make new collagen, hence building up the scars from the bottom up in the skin. Just 4 treatments have been shown to reduce scar depth by 50%. It's also safe for all skin colors, so patients with dark skin types can benefit from the treatment, unlike with the other laser treatments out there, which cause pigmentation changes in darker skin types. Not only does Fractora improve acne scarring it also addresses active acne and residual red and brown spots in the same treatment. With each treatment, the skin will keep turning out new, plumper collagen for as long as 6 months, and so the appearance of the skin will keep improving long term.
