Mind-Beauty Expert Amy Wechsler, MD, Joins Scientific Advisory Board of RealAge.Com
SAN DIEGO, May 10 /PRNewswire/ — RealAge.com is proud to announce that Amy Wechsler, MD, has joined its Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Wechsler possesses a rare combination of skills: She is board certified in both dermatology and psychiatry, and is one of only two practicing physicians in the country certified in both specialties. The unique perspective she brings to her patients is now also available to members of RealAge.com.
“RealAge only works with the most respected medical experts. No one is more qualified to help women understand how modern life impacts both their well-being and their appearance — and what can be done about it — than Dr. Wechsler,” says Charlie Silver, CEO of RealAge, Inc.
Dr. Wechsler has a successful dermatology practice in New York City, where she made her reputation by using both specialties to deliver individual care and impressive results that her patients cannot get anywhere else.
“There is a strong connection between a person’s state of mind and the state of one’s skin. As a dermatologist and psychiatrist I can identify problems and treat patients in a unique way. I’m excited about working with RealAge.com as it allows me to reach millions of people with whom I otherwise wouldn’t come in contact,” says Dr. Wechsler.
Dr. Wechsler did her undergraduate work at Duke University and earned an MD from Cornell University Medical College. She is affiliated with New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center and SUNY Downstate Medical Center, and is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
Dr. Wechsler’s dual expertise has proven to be a significant resource for the media and of great benefit to a broad spectrum of readers and viewers: She has been featured as an expert on the mind-beauty connection in The New York Times, Marie Claire, O — The Oprah Magazine, Elle and on the Today show. She lives in Manhattan with her husband and their two young children.
