He specializes in general dermatology, addressing conditions of the hair, skin, and nails, with a focus on skin cancer diagnosis and excision, and anti-aging.

He also provides Hydrafacials, which deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate, leaving skin radiant with no downtime, and can be customized for any skin concern.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ted Lain

Sourced directly from Dr. Ted Lain's social posts and replies.

What are the benefits and expectations for Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox offers more than cosmetic benefits. It can help soften a square jawline, and provide relief from jaw tension, teeth grinding, clenching, and TMJ pain/symptoms. It is also beneficial for facial slimming, enamel protection, facial symmetry, and tension headaches. Results develop gradually over a few weeks, aiming for a naturally refreshed look that is never overdone.

What are the benefits and mechanisms of chemical peels?
Chemical peels improve skin texture, help minimize acne (depending on peel choice), reduce hyperpigmentation, treat dull skin, and improve skin tone, revealing fresh skin. They work by exfoliating the skin, stimulating collagen production, and promoting new cell growth.
Source →
What is a Hydrafacial and what are its benefits?
A Hydrafacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, leaving it refreshed, radiant, and glowing after just one treatment. It is suitable for both men and women and can be customized to address any skin concern, being highly effective for hydration. It is one of the best treatments to have before an event as it requires no downtime. The treatment can utilize an orange tip for a deeper, more aggressive exfoliation and pairs well with dermaplaning.

What is Revision DEJ BioStim Treatment and what results can be expected?
Revision DEJ BioStim Treatment is a professional-only, needle-free topical biostimulator from Revision Skincare. It boosts collagen (leading to a 27% increase) and elastin (leading to a 39% increase), acting as a specialized, low-downtime peel. It targets the dermal-epidermal junction to improve skin firmness, tone, and texture. Suitable for all skin types, it results in firmer, smoother, and more luminous skin with minimal to no downtime. This treatment is available at Sanova Dermatology North Austin.

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)

$500,230

Payments

491

Compared to peers

Among the highest in our directory

Dr. Ted Lain received $500,230 across 491 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 99.7% 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 UCB, 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?”
