We’ve all experienced the disappointment of planning a big night out at the new restaurant known for its amazing food, only to have the evening fizzle due to poor service. While a restaurant may have award-winning cuisine, if the wait staff provides poor service, the establishment will be a short-lived venture. The lesson in this is that a business is only as good as its employees.

Topical anesthetics do not affect the efficacy of pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment for erythema, according to a retrospective study published online in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine on August 22, 2019. Douglas C. Wu, MD, et al, reviewed the charts of 69 patients who presented with erythema from telangiectasia, cherry angioma, striae or rosacea on the face, neck, chest and/or extremities. One group of patients had been pretreated with topical anesthesia (23% lidocaine/7% tetracaine ointment or 7% lidocaine/7% tetracaine ointment) prior to PDL. Their outcomes were compared to patients treated without anesthesia. Two blinded dermatologists evaluated postprocedure photographs and gave an assessment compared with baseline.
There was no significant difference in outcomes between the two groups. The mean improvement was 2.2581 in the anesthesia group and 2.2632 in the nonanesthesia group.

Massage Envy is rolling out a new treatment, The Acne Facial Series powered by Proactiv, in an effort to help acne sufferers who may not have access to dermatologic care. The program includes a six to 12-week esthetician-guided facial series (based on weekly or bi-weekly appointment scheduling), where acne sufferers are paired with a licensed esthetician who consults with them on their skin, delivers six customized facials, makes recommendations on how to address breakouts, shows them how to use at-home Proactiv products and adjusts the facial routines based on how the clients’ skin is reacting to the program.

A survey commissioned by Massage Envy revealed that three-in-five acne sufferers are unsure whether their skincare regimens are effective. Two-thirds (64 percent) of acne...
