Specialty Commerce Corp. Donates to The One Fund Boston to Assist Marathon Victims

West Bridgewater, MA (PRWEB) April 21, 2013

Specialty Commerce Corp., one of the nations leading multi-channel direct marketers, has made a charitable donation to assist those affected by the April 15 Boston Marathon attacks.

The One Fund Boston was created by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick to assist the families most affected by the bomb attacks.

Monday April 15th, 2013, was an incredibly trying day for the city of Boston and our nation. Patriots Day is a state holiday in Massachusetts, and a cherished day by the people of Boston and greater New England. It was during this celebrated day that bombings claimed the lives of three people while injuring many more. Acts of terrorism like the bombings at the Boston Marathon spread fear and panic, said Christian Feuer, President & CEO of Specialty Commerce Corp., but they also highlight the strengths of our nation and our society. That is why our company has decided to donate to The One Fund Boston. Its our way of letting the community know that our hearts and thoughts are with them.

Boston-area Dermatologic Surgeons Donating Laser Treatments for Marathon Bombing Scars

Chestnut Hill, Mass. (PRWEB) April 25, 2013

As Boston recovers from its recent tragic events, the dermatologic surgeons at SkinCare Physicians want to do their part by offering state-of-the-art laser treatment of scars at no charge to anyone injured in the Boston Marathon attack.

Breakthroughs in the last few years have dramatically improved the treatment of scars from burns and traumatic injuries. New technology and techniques developed in Boston have been used nationally in the Wounded Warrior Project to improve the scars of combat veterans.

Lasers can significantly improve or remove both dark color and redness from scars. In addition, new ablative fractional resurfacing lasers combined with other medications have shown dramatic improvement in the texture, flexibility, function and appearance of scarred tissue.

"We have so many new devices and techniques available to improve scars, said Thomas Rohrer, M.D., a senior partner at SkinCare Physicians and Secretary of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), the nations largest organization exclusively representing dermatologic surgeons. Boston Marathon Project Heal is one small way we can help those injured in these tragic events."

It was previously thought that scars should be allowed to mature for a year or more before any intervention. New science presented earlier this month at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery annual meeting at, of all places, the Hynes Convention Center less than 200 yards from the finish line of the Boston Marathon demonstrated that early treatment of traumatic scars can alter their trajectory and allow more rapid normalization of tissue.

In treating those wounded at the Boston Marathon, the dermatologists at SkinCare Physicians plan to use the latest in pulsed dye and ablative fractional lasers to improve scarring. Wounded veterans have shown life-changing improvement in their scars following this treatment. Many have seen not only cosmetic improvement of their scars but also an increase in flexibility that has allowed them to more freely maneuver digits and limbs. This same strategy can be applied to those injured in the bombings.

"Everyone here in Boston is looking for a way to help. We want those in need to know we are offering them our assistance, said Kenneth Arndt, M.D., President of SkinCare Physicians and also an ASDS member. In this small way, we hope to provide some comfort to those who have been injured and help our community to heal."
