Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Peter Chien

Sourced directly from Dr. Peter Chien's social posts and replies.

What is seborrheic dermatitis and what are its symptoms and risks?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a rash that can appear on the skin in many different ways, often presenting as rashes, or dry, scaly skin. It may sometimes look like other skin conditions, such as rosacea or psoriasis. Untreated seborrheic dermatitis could lead to thicker scales on the skin and/or infection.
What is Jeuveau® and what should I know about the treatment, results, and risks?
Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) injection is an FDA-approved prescription medicine used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows in adults. Improvement can be seen in as little as 2 days, with 50% of patients showing results by then, and most (~69%) achieving complete results by 30 days. The effects can last up to 4 months, with patients typically receiving 3 treatments a year. The average appointment takes less than 10 minutes, and Jeuveau® is available by prescription only. It's important to be aware that the effects of Jeuveau® may spread hours to weeks after injection, potentially causing serious symptoms. Patients should alert their doctor right away if they experience difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness, as these can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Potential side effects also include allergic reactions, injection-site pain, eyelid drooping, and swelling.
Are there any promotions or discounts available for Jeuveau® treatments?
Patients can receive $160 off their first two Jeuveau® treatments ($80 off the first and $80 off the second). Patients are eligible for this discount once every 90 days.

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)

$154

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Peter Chien received $154 across 3 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 Krystal Biotech 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?”
