In Dr. Nancy Samolitis's own words

How Dr. Nancy Samolitis describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I'll be honest, I've been pretty skeptical of most at-home LED masks, but when I saw the clinical data from the TheraFace Mask Glow study, I was convinced to try it for myself
  • Less is more... So simple is better, and that's kind of the whole basis behind our brand. Facile, it means simple. So we're really trying to simplify skincare for you
  • I likely have a laser or syringe to treat various skin concerns.

Specialization

  • Here are some LED mask mistakes I see all the time as a dermatologist
  • Dr. Samolitis recommends avoiding certain procedures.
  • Specializes as a dermatologist.

Technique

  • We do it in combination with microneedle, in combination with laser, and for hair growth injected into the scalp
  • Dr. Nancy Samolitis's practice extracts hair follicles from patients, sends them to a company to grow stem cells, and then uses the secretions from these stem cells for regenerative treatments for hair and skin, with the stem cells being banked.

Technology

  • The safety is not always great with this device, and I've seen so many complications from it. And unfortunately the results, even when it turns out okay, are not amazing

Training & credentials

  • Dr. Nancy Samolitis's practice has been using PRP for a really long time.

Consultation

  • If you think you're interested in this, you can come in for a consultation, and we can discuss more about the process

Cost & consultation

  • Dr. Nancy Samolitis states that her lasers are the most expensive treatments offered by her practice.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Nancy Samolitis

Sourced directly from Dr. Nancy Samolitis's social posts and replies.

What is CoolPeel Laser Treatment and what are its benefits?
CoolPeel Laser Treatment is a form of ablative skin resurfacing that Dr. Samolitis is very enthusiastic about. It offers less recovery time compared to Fraxel and traditional CO2 lasers.

What is Dr. Samolitis's approach to treating melasma?
Dr. Samolitis takes a careful approach to melasma, emphasizing proper skincare before considering microneedling. The objective of microneedling for melasma is to help skin heal and repair from sun damage at a microscopic level, rather than solely removing pigment. The effectiveness and safety are determined by the technique used and the aftercare provided, with a gentle hand being crucial. In many cases, she alternates microneedling with Brighten Laser to get there safely, noting that melasma is manageable with the right plan.

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)

$644

Payments

23

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Nancy Samolitis received $644 across 23 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 REVANCE THERAPEUTICS, 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?”
