After nearly three decades and thousands of treatments, Dr. Nissan Pilest has earned a solid reputation not only among patients of his busy private practice, but in his role as an assistant university professor, injection and laser trainer and physician consultant. His admiration for dermatology and what it can do for his patients grows daily.
“Everyone’s concerns matter—from the teen stressed out over a pre-prom pimple to the man or woman who’s unhappy with the face in the mirror,” says Dr. Pilest. “Like it or not, appearance does matter. My mission is to provide solutions that help my patients feel happier about how they look.”

Dr. Pilest describes his practice as one of layered synergy. “By combining small procedures, the total effects build upon one another—that could mean Botox and a touch of Radiesse®, or a laser treatment and microdermabrasion, or perhaps only a tube of Retin-A Micro® and some sunscreen. Each recipe is as unique as each individual.”

Consultations are complimentary because, Dr. Pilest says, “My patients’ time is just as valuable as mine, so why would I want to make them pay for the privilege they’ve bestowed upon me?”

Believing dermatology is “the most exciting field I could be in,” Dr. Pilest is particularly enthusiastic about the possibilities of combining the new Fraxel Re:Pair C02 laser with re-volumizers like Sculptra®. “The Re:Pair has the ability to tighten and smooth wrinkles and essentially ‘repair’ aging and damaged skin. Blend in volume restoration, and I won’t be surprised to see some phenomenal outcomes.”

Inside Information
CUSTOM CONTOURING AGENTS
“Fraxel and Thermage technologies have totally changed the way I deal with the problems of acne scars, melasma, sun damage, roughness and loose skin on the face and on the body,” says Dr. Pilest. “I am genuinely impressed with the new Fraxel C02 Re:Pair laser and look forward to utilizing all of its capabilities.” Despite the power of laser technology, not everyone needs or is a candidate for laser therapy, so Dr. Pilest offers numerous alternatives such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), microdermabrasion and injectables, which he says “nearly always provide very respectable results.” “Take Botox®, for example,” he says. “It can be used to smooth dynamically caused wrinkles, and when combined with fillers, it can achieve even greater results than when either is used alone.” Dr. Pilest is a big proponent for the use of fillers and collagen stimulators, referring to them as “CUSTOM CONTOURING AGENTS.” “I definitely like Radiesse and Sculptra for instant and long-term volume replacement. In my mind, these two products will continue to be responsible for an increasing number of appearance-enhancing and appearancecorrecting procedures. Since features tend to flatten as we age, volume replacement is an integral component to restoring youthful contours. By carefully selecting the right procedures, it’s possible to achieve an impressive GLOBAL RESTORATIVE EFFECT in your appearance.”
