Microskin

 

The Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York is pleased to introduce Microskin, a simulated second skin formulated to color correct each individual patient's skin condition. Developed in Australia, Microskin has been used as a cosmetic camouflage of port wine stains and post laser treatment bruising. 

 

Utilizing a patented computerized scanner, the camouflage is matched to a person's unique skin color.  Microskin is durable, flexible and does not rub off on clothing or linen. Patient acceptance relative to other commercially available cover-up products has been quite favorable.  It is waterproof and allows your skin to breathe. The first Microskin center outside of Australia is located in New York City at 317 East 34th Street in Manhattan. For more information, please visit our website at www.microskincenter.com or call 212-779-4000 to speak to one of our Microskin representatives.
 
The Sturge-Weber Foundation Centers of Excellence

coe_logoThe SWF has established 10 Centers of Excellence in cities throughout the USA.

These Centers provide the comprehensive care necessary for treating adults and children who have a port wine (PW) birthmark, Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) or Klippel-Trenaunay (KT).

Each Center is staffed by a team of specialists who collaborate in the evaluation and management of each patient. This team approach ensures the individual's treatment plan is carefully developed and coordinated.

According to Karen Ball, CEO, "The SWF recognizes the collaborative care received at the Centers plays a key role in improving the quality of life for individuals living with port wine birthmark conditions. Together patients, dedicated physicians and the SWF will increase the pace of discovery."
