“patients can count on my honesty, skill and experience”
For Dr. Michael A. Kurzman, the ever-expanding field of dermatology and the public’s pursuit of healthy, youthful skin has him excited about the future of dermatology. “After 22 years, it has never been more exciting to be a cosmetic dermatologist,” he says. “When I first entered the field, there were only a couple of lasers and collagen on the market. Today, the options are much more expansive.”
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR SKINCARE LINE?

I offer my own line of skincare products under the Michael Kurzman (MK) Skincare brand, all of which are made from plant extracts, for an all-natural approach to wrinkles, acne, sun damage and beautiful, luminous skin.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STAFF?

We have assembled a knowledgeable group of friendly, highly trained professionals who enhance the standards I have set. They uphold my beliefs about patient care and beauty.

HOW DO YOU APPROACH PATIENT CARE?

Every one of our patients is treated as a person—not “the 9 a.m. filler.” Getting to know the patients on a personal level and treating them compassionately is where I derive most of my satisfaction.

WHY DO YOU MAINTAIN A CONSERVATIVE PHILOPSHY?

I am a proponent of natural beauty that promotes individual character because I believe that cosmetic dermatology should enhance, rather than mask, patients’ distinguishing features.

Inside Information
RESTORATION AND REPAIR
In order to revitalize the skin, Dr. Kurzman utilizes many techniques. He believes photorejuvenation provides a distinct benefit when it comes to enhancing the appearance. “IPL treatments use pulses of light to eliminate facial redness, rosacea and brown spots, as well as visible signs of sun damage and aging,” he says. “Despite the name, Photofacial—I also use this therapy on the chest, neck and hands.” Treatments take less than 30 minutes and are usually repeated once every four weeks, over the course of four to six months. “The procedure is well tolerated without anesthesia, and there is no age limit on who can undergo treatment,” he says. Dr. Kurzman has found this procedure to be effective for both men and women. In addition, fillers are used for softening deep crevices and folds. “Injectables are very effective at nonsurgically recontouring the aging face.”
