In Dr. Melda A. Isaac's own words

How Dr. Melda A. Isaac describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • So I think for some of the posts that I've seen saying absolutely no down time, those are with superficial treatments. And that's fine if that's all you need
  • The practice considers itself the preferred 'go-to dermatology dream team' for patients.
  • But someone in their 60s, like me, we need deeper energy, and that requires down time
  • The practice believes the right treatment starts with the right plan.

Specialization

  • Specializes in Cosmetic Dermatology
  • The practice offers a range of cosmetic and aesthetic dermatology services, including injectables, Botox, fillers, laser skin care, and skin rejuvenation.

Technology

  • AVAVA performs with precision.

Recovery guidance

  • There is a few days of down time. You will be a little red and a little swollen

Results

  • Our expert injectors can do both, creating beautifully balanced, natural-looking results

What is AVAVA personalized laser technology and what are its benefits?
AVAVA is a personalized laser technology designed to customize treatment based on individual skin concerns and goals. It helps improve the appearance of uneven tone, pigmentation, texture, and overall skin quality with precision. It is safe for all skin types and can refresh sun-exposed skin, target discoloration, or give a complexion a boost.

What is XERF treatment and what are its benefits?
XERF is the practice's newest non-surgical, painless Korean radio frequency treatment designed for skin tightening and rejuvenation. It utilizes dual RF frequencies to reach deep beneath the skin's surface, targeting the same layer as a surgical facelift to stimulate collagen production. It results in a firmer, lifted, and more contoured jawline, can tighten the neck, and helps maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin. Results are visible from the first treatment, and it has little to no downtime. XERF offers a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.

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)

$654

Payments

16

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Melda A. Isaac received $654 across 16 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was MERZ NORTH AMERICA, 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?”
