Is skin dehydration common, and what are its effects?
Most people experience skin dehydration, especially those living in Arizona who often deal with both dehydration and dryness. This can lead to premature aging, acne, redness, and sensitivity. If you suffer from dry or dehydrated skin, it's recommended to ask a skin care specialist for recommendations.
What are the recommendations and benefits for using Retinol?
Retinol can be a miracle worker for your skin, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and give a youthful boost. It should be used only at night (as it becomes inactive with sunlight) in a pea-sized amount for the whole face, always followed by a moisturizer. Retinols make the skin sun sensitive, so always apply SPF in the morning and throughout the day. Retinol should be avoided during pregnancy.

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)

$11,450

Payments

16

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Peter P. Kay received $11,450 across 16 payments in 2024. 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 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?”

The provided information doesn't specify whether online appointments are available. It's best to contact the office directly to inquire about booking options.
Does Dr. Peter P. Kay offer telehealth?
The provided information doesn't mention telehealth services. Contacting the office directly is recommended for the most accurate information.
What do patients have to say about Dr. Peter P. Kay?
Patient reviews range from highly positive experiences with body contouring procedures to more mixed reviews regarding eyelid surgery. One patient specifically mentions a positive outcome with the removal of eye bags, but implies there may have been other aspects of the procedure or recovery that weren't ideal.
What areas of care does Dr. Peter P. Kay cater to?
Dr. Kay specializes in plastic and cosmetic surgery, with a focus on facial procedures like eyelid surgery. He also performs body contouring procedures and offers general plastic surgery services. He is described as a 'skin care and plastic surgery' specialist, suggesting he may also offer non-surgical cosmetic treatments. The practice utilizes Juvederm for lip enhancements to achieve a 'perfect pout' aesthetic. For tattoo removal, the practice uses the PiQo4 laser, considered the gold standard for pigment and rejuvenation treatments, achieving great clearance with tattoos of all colors. For dehydrated skin, the practice recommends adding ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, beta glucan, and niacinamide to a skincare regimen. The practice emphasizes that a proper at-home facial regimen is more important than in-office treatments for maintaining results. Patients will not achieve desired outcomes without using the correct skincare combinations and quantities at home. The practice offers clean, medical-grade skincare products from brands including SkinMedica, ZO Skin Health, EltaMD Skincare, Alastin Skincare, Revision Skincare, and Colorescience. The practice prefers physical SPF over chemical SPF. Physical sunscreens act as a shield, creating a barrier with active mineral ingredients like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to deflect sun rays, block blue light and pollution, and work immediately upon application. In contrast, chemical sunscreens (containing oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, avbenzone) absorb sun rays, turn them into heat, and take up to 20 minutes to take effect.
