Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Stephen F. Coccaro

Sourced directly from Dr. Stephen F. Coccaro's social posts and replies.

What are the benefits of the Tetra CO2 Laser?
The Tetra CO2 Laser is a gentle and effective treatment for refreshing skin, maintaining a natural appearance, softening fine lines and wrinkles, improving sun damage and spots for an even tone, refining pores, and enhancing overall skin texture with visible results.

What is Jawline Botox (Masseter Botox) and what are its benefits?
Jawline Botox, also known as Masseter Botox, involves injecting Botox into the enlarged masseter muscles in the jawline. This non-invasive, temporary, and painless procedure takes about 15 minutes. It is effective for treating Bruxism (teeth grinding), especially during sleep, and for cosmetic jawline slimming to achieve a more feminine profile. The injections cause the masseter muscles to shrink, with results visible in a few weeks. It's a quick, practical, and relatively cheaper option compared to more invasive methods, with no critical complications. If a patient dislikes the results, they can simply stop getting injections.

What are the benefits and characteristics of RHA® Dermal Fillers?
The RHA® Collection is considered a top dermal filler, designed to provide natural-looking results by adapting to dynamic facial movements for a flawless look both at rest and in motion. These fillers are formulated to closely resemble natural hyaluronic acid (HA) in the skin. They can last up to 15 months in dynamic wrinkles and folds, and up to 1 year in lipstick lines.

What cosmetic procedures does Dr. Coccaro recommend for individuals in their 30s?
For individuals in their 30s looking to extend a youthful appearance, Dr. Coccaro recommends four cosmetic procedures: skin resurfacing, injectables for wrinkles, laser skin tightening, and Kybella or CoolSculpting for submental fullness.
Source →
What are the benefits and process of Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing, utilizing advanced laser devices like CO2 technology, removes fine to deep lines and wrinkles, sun damage, brown spots, and other imperfections. It improves both the texture and color of the skin, making it appear more youthful and radiant. This treatment can be applied to an entire region, such as the full face, or focused on specific areas like around the eyes or mouth.
Source →
What are the benefits and mechanism of Laser Skin Tightening?
Laser skin tightening treatments are designed to tighten the skin, uplift cheeks, and tighten the jawline and neckline. This technology works by creating dermal healing and invoking the body’s natural healing abilities, resulting in reduced visible wrinkles and new skin that is firmer and more youthful.
Source →
What treatments does Dr. Coccaro offer for submental fat (double chin)?
For submental fat, Dr. Coccaro offers Kybella and CoolSculpting. Kybella is a minimally invasive injectable with no downtime that dramatically reduces submental fatty tissue to sculpt the chin by breaking down fat cells, providing long-lasting results in a few sessions. CoolSculpting is an alternative that freezes away fat cells causing a double chin.

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)

$1,089

Payments

26

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Stephen F. Coccaro received $1,089 across 26 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Smith+Nephew, 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?”
