What EltaMD skincare products does DermWellesley recommend and why?
DermWellesley highly recommends EltaMD sunscreens as a favorite product line for SPF, noting they are formulated with hyaluronic acid, are fragrance-free, paraben-free, oil-free, mineral-based (zinc oxide), provide superior broad-spectrum protection without irritation, are lightweight, non-comedogenic, and ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, and post-procedure skin. The line includes tinted options, stick forms, and body mists. Specific recommended products include: * **EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser**: A gentle, pH-balanced, incredibly hydrating face wash proven to strengthen the skin barrier, great for everyday use, and effective at removing makeup and pollution without irritation. * **EltaMD UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Balancing SPF 46**: A lightweight, oil-free SPF ideal for sensitive and breakout-prone skin, calming inflammation and redness, preventing blemishes, and protecting against UV rays without clogging pores. * **EltaMD PM Restore Moisturizer**: An oil-free nighttime treatment that revitalizes and conditions skin with ceramides, niacinamide, antioxidants, and peptides. It's deeply hydrating, works while you sleep to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, improves elasticity, and minimizes morning dryness. All EltaMD Skincare products are available for purchase at the office, and the practice offers assistance in choosing the right ones for individual needs.

What is Mohs Surgery and what is the process at DermWellesley?
Mohs surgery is a precise, layer-by-layer removal technique for skin cancer that ensures maximum clearance while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The entire procedure, from removal to reconstruction, is completed on the same day. The steps include anesthesia, removal, tissue evaluation, additional stages (if needed), and reconstruction. Patients can expect to be at the clinic for several hours on the day of surgery.
Source →
What are the recommendations for skin cancer detection and annual skin checks?
Early detection of skin cancer is paramount. DermWellesley recommends scheduling an annual in-office skin check. Additionally, patients should contact the office if they notice any skin spot that: * Has changed or isn't healing within approximately one month (most pimples or sores should resolve in this timeframe). * Continuously bleeds or is persistently irritated. * Is new and continuously changes in size or shape. * Appears different from other moles (an 'ugly duckling') in terms of color, texture, border, or asymmetry (the ABCDEs of melanoma: Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving). The practice encourages patients to have any concerning skin spots examined, regardless of size, and assures them it is never a bother.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$6,128

Payments

17

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Emily M. Wise received $6,128 across 17 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
