I had suffered regular migraines for years, and after a combination of trigger point and prolotherapy injections, I feel better that I ever have and am almost entirely headache free.” Senior Editorial Manager at Equinox on December 19, 2013 at 12:51 PM, updated HALEDON — On the website for Dr. Goodnight’s Center for Everlasting Beauty, board-certified physician James Goodnight calls himself an expert in rejuvenative medicine. Offering services that range from skin tightening and cellulite reduction to fat redistribution and plastic surgery, the 51-year-old graduate of Tufts University School of Medicine includes photos of himself pumping iron. Today, however, the state Board of Medical Examiners said Goodnight’s anti-aging clinic in North Haledon had a steroid problem. The state said Goodnight provided steroids to patients without full examinations or ensuring adequate patient care.
It also said he provided prescriptions to himself and family members without creating detailed medical records, failed to safeguard the use of his prescription pad and allowed an individual who was not a licensed doctor to participate in the care and treatment of patients. The board suspended Goodnight for six months and ordered him to undergo ethics training. Goodnight’s attorney, William Volonte of Newark, said the physician voluntarily ceased his bio-identical hormone practice before signing a consent order with the state medical board and agreed to its terms without admitting or denying the allegations. "He looks forward to resuming his successful practice in the area of cosmetic surgery in 2014, and he is completely committed to full compliance with all of the Board of Medical Examiners’ requirements," Volonte said. Goodnight was among a number of physicians profiled in a Star-Ledger series in 2010 on the secret world of steroid use by law enforcement officers and firefighters.
At the time, he told the newspaper his patients included about 50 police officers and firefighters. At the time, he was not accused of any wrongdoing. Acting New Jersey Attorney General John Hoffman, in announcing the suspension, said testosterone and other steroids are surging in popularity as purported anti-aging treatments, leading to concerns about whether doctors are truly weighing their known risks and providing clear information to patients. "New Jersey is taking action to make sure doctors follow our rules for the protection of patients and the practice of good medicine," he said. In February, the Board of Medical Examiners expanded New Jersey’s regulation on the prescribing of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone, with new rules requiring that a practitioner can only prescribe them when there is a "bona fide relationship with the patient, and after obtaining the patient’s full medical history, performing a full medical examination, and examining a valid medical need for such drugs."
Goodnight’s medical practice offered both cosmetic surgery and anti-aging treatments, as well as hormones, including testosterone, according to the state Division of Consumer Affairs’ Enforcement Bureau. In the consent agreement, Goodnight agreed to the six-month suspension, followed by a 2 1/2-year probationary period. The board also required him to complete three approved courses in ethics; and basic blood analysis and physical examinations. In addition, he must hire a monitor to submit monthly reports on any new prescribing of anabolic steroids from his office, and will be required to pay $56,675 in civil penalties and investigative costs. • N.J. doctor supplied steroids to hundreds of law enforcement officers, firefighters • Booming anti-aging business relies on risky mix of steroids, growth hormone Cosmetic dermatology is a rapidly changing field, and we pride ourselves in using the latest treatments and techniques to achieve a natural and youthful appearance for our patients.
Dr. Jaber and Dr. Cool take the time to thoroughly discuss each patient’s goals and expectations before selecting the optimal treatment. The right cosmetic procedure can make a significant impact on how one looks and feels, boosting self-esteem and confidence. Brown Spots or Sun Spots Rosacea, Facial Redness, Broken Capillaries, and Blood Vessles Skin Texture or Tone Wrinkles and Fine Lines Botox is a simple and safe procedure that can be performed during a routine visit, with no downtime and little to no discomfort. Botox works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause persistent frown lines, forehead wrinkles, or smile lines around the eyes. If treatments are not continued, the muscles will gradually return to normal function and wrinkles will return. Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating and jaw pain. Our goal with Botox is to give our patients a “softer and relaxed look”, not eliminate movement. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin diminishes as wrinkles and folds settle in.
Fillers instantly restore volume and smooth away deep lines and facial creases. Fillers can also minimize dark circles under the eyes, return lost volume in the hands, add fullness to the lips, improve acne scars, and shape the nose. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize any potential discomfort. The injections typically take between fifteen and thirty minutes, and the results are immediate with minimal downtime. Depending on the type of filler and location on the body, the effects can last for six months to two years. The dermal fillers we primarily use are Juvéderm Ultra, Juvéderm Ultra Plus, Voluma XC, Restylane, Restylane Lyft, and Sculptra. Kybella is the first FDA approved injectable that improves submental fullness or “double chin.” It can significantly improve the contour of the chin and neck, eliminating the need for an invasive surgical procedure. Injections are performed into the fat under the chin, typically one to two months apart, with most patients seeing a significant difference within three months of starting treatment.
Ready to schedule a consultation? Acne can leave behind scars that persist even after breakouts have cleared, affecting self-esteem and confidence. Fortunately, there are many treatment options that can significantly improve acne scars. These treatments vary depending on the type of acne scarring, as well as the skin pigmentation of the patient. We offer a variety to treat acne scars including subcision, KTP Excel-V laser, Fraxel Dual laser, and dermal filler injections. Brown spots or sun spots are the result of aging and are more pronounced in areas of sun exposure like the face, chest, and hands. They are not cancerous, but can make you look and feel much older than your actual age. Fortunately, there are several options to treat brown spots safely and effectively. Both individual spots and larger areas like the face or chest can be treated. Treatments include chemical peels, Clear + Brilliant Permea, Fraxel Dual 1927 and KTP Excel-V laser. Chemical peels have been used for years, as they are a safe and effective treatment for many skin conditions.
We offer peels to help correct hyperpigmentation, brown spots, sun spots, melasma, and acne. Chemical peels can also be performed to improve skin tone and texture, and to prevent premature signs of aging. When treating acne, we prefer salicylic acid peels, while, for overall skin rejuvenation, we use glycolic acid peels. Melasma is a common condition primarily seen in young women. It is patchy, brown, hyperpigmentation of the face most often located on the forehead, cheeks, nose and upper lip. Melasma is usually triggered by sun exposure or hormonal changes caused by birth control pills or pregnancy. Vigilant sun protection and lightening creams can prove effective treatments; however, for more resistant melasma, stronger treatments include the Clear + Brilliant Permea and Fraxel Dual 1927 lasers. Rosacea, Facial Redness, Broken Capillaries and Blood Vessels Rosacea is a very common skin condition affecting over 16 million Americans. It manifests in patients as redness, broken capillaries, or flushing, which can be treated with the KTP Excel-V laser.
Most patients see improvement with one treatment, but multiple treatments may be required depending on the severity of the condition, the type of blood vessel, and the skin type of the patient. Seborrheic keratoses are brown, warty growths that can develop on the face, neck and body as we age. They are extremely common and can vary in number, with some people having hundreds. Seborrheic keratoses are not cancerous, but can be irritating and cosmetically disturbing. They can be removed with minimal recovery time using electrosurgery or cryosurgery. Skin tags are extremely common growths, which can be bothersome and cosmetically displeasing. Depending on the size and location, they can be removed simply by cryosurgery, electrodessication, or snip removal. Skin texture or tone Although everyone is born with baby soft skin, sun damage and exposure to the elements can take their toll resulting in rough, uneven skin texture and tone. We will offer an individualized skin care regimen and discuss other treatments including chemical peels, and laser therapies like Laser Genesis, Clear + Brilliant, and Clear +Brilliant Permea.
