Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Robert W. Benson

Sourced directly from Dr. Robert W. Benson's social posts and replies.

What are the benefits and process of chemical peels at QnA Medical Spa?
Chemical peels are recommended for a post-summer skin reset, effectively targeting sun spots, uneven tone, pigmentation, and sun damage. They are offered as a series of 3 gentle peels, designed to deliver effective, glowing results. Fall is considered an ideal time to begin this treatment series.

What skincare products does Dr. Benson's practice recommend for pigmentation and uneven tone?
Dr. Benson's practice recommends and carries Revision Skincare's Advanced Pigment Corrector+ and Tone+ Correcting Pads. Advanced Pigment Corrector+ is a hydroquinone-free serum formulated to improve stubborn dark spots and uneven pigmentation, promoting a brighter, more even complexion. Tone+ Correcting Pads are convenient, dual-sided, alcohol-free pads that gently exfoliate while helping improve discoloration, texture, and overall brightness. These products are recommended to continue treatment results at home and as an excellent addition to a pigment-correcting skincare routine.

What is the Diamond Glow treatment and what results can patients expect?
The Diamond Glow treatment is a customizable facial that gently exfoliates the skin, cleans out pores, and infuses the skin with hydration. It is effective in addressing dullness, dryness, and uneven texture. Patients can expect smoother, refreshed, and glowing skin immediately after the treatment, with no downtime. It is also recommended as an ideal treatment before a special event.

How does the combined Agnes RF and Scarlet RF treatment work for the lower face and neck?
This customized, non-surgical treatment plan combines Agnes RF, performed by Dr. Brown, with Scarlet RF, performed by QnA esthetician Malayna, to target the lower face and neck. Agnes RF works beneath the skin to address unwanted fat and improve contour. Scarlet RF uses radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen, supporting firmer and tighter-looking skin. Together, these treatments help define the jawline, improve the appearance of skin laxity, smooth and tighten the lower face and neck, and create a more sculpted, refreshed profile.

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 (2025)

$27

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Robert W. Benson received $27 across 1 payment in 2025. 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 Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, 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?”
