Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. John W. Gillespie III

Sourced directly from Dr. John W. Gillespie III's social posts and replies.

What is Venus skin tightening and body contouring treatment?
Dr. Gillespie's practice offers Venus technology for skin tightening and body contouring. This non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency and magnetic pulses, creating a soothing, warm sensation similar to a massage. It aims to enhance skin firmness, improve body contours, reduce measurements, and improve cellulite appearance. It's suitable for the face, neck, abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, glutes, calves, trunk, and back. Most patients require a series of weekly treatments for 8-10 weeks, followed by simple maintenance. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and regular physical activity, is essential for the best long-term results.
What is Dr. Gillespie's approach to scar revision?
Dr. Gillespie offers individualized scar restoration plans, which often require multiple sessions. His approach prioritizes texture correction first, then color correction. Treatment may begin with Inkless scar revision to smooth and soften texture, encourage natural melanocyte activity, and allow the scar to begin blending naturally before adding pigment. For color correction, custom-blended skin tone camouflage using pigment paired with exosomes may be used in later sessions.

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 (2024)

$315

Payments

8

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. John W. Gillespie III received $315 across 8 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

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?”
