Skin Specialists Keeping Late Dr. Fulton's Skin Care Legacy Alive

CORAL GABLES, Fla., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- When dermatologist and co-developer of Retin-A ® James E. Fulton Jr.,M.D.,Ph.D. passed away at age 73 this past July, many wondered how the clinic he launched to treat clients with acne, aging and skin discoloration issues would carry on without him. So far the transition to Skin Specialists has been not unlike the skin of his long-time patients: smooth, even and sans bumps.

"We consider ourselves to be the living embodiment of his skin care legacy," says daughter and Skin Specialists CEO Kelly Fulton-Kendrick. "Our clients can expect the same warm, thorough care given by my dad." The clinic is located at 6705 SW 57th Ave, Suite 400, Coral Gables, FL 33143.

All Skin Specialists were personally trained by Dr. Fulton in the methods he developed to treat the skin. The clinic will continue to carry not only his line of skin care products (JFMD), but the line he helped develop for Vivant Skin Care®. "I had the immense honor and privilege of meeting and being treated by this extraordinary human being and physician," offers client Maggie Mesa. "The short time under his care solved what more than 10 years with countless dermatologists and treatments couldn't."

Skin Specialists' menu of services includes treatments for acne, rosacea, rejuvenation and discoloration of the face and body utilizing chemical peels, clinical facials, derma-filing, high-frequency, microdermabrasion, ultrasound, Venus Freeze radio frequency and more.
