LaserTouch Aesthetics Announces the Addition of Selphyl Dermal Filler
Posted by lasertouchadmin in Injectibles on December 12, 2010
(Vocus/PRWEB)November 29, 2010 — SELPHYL® is a patented system for the safe and rapid preparation of Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM), a proven technology that Dr. Vafa of New York Medical Aesthetics is using to correct the effects of skin aging. Dr. Vafa of New York Medical Aesthetics collects a small volume of blood from the patient and through a patented process, separates and concentrates the patients own platelets and fibrin into a matrix. The resulting PRFM can be applied to a treatment area of the face or body to stimulate cell proliferation which promotes the increase of volume and rejuvenation of the skin through a process of targeted tissue re-generation.
The PRFM that is prepared with SELPHYL® is autologous, meaning it uses your natural biology. Platelets are known to contain factors which your body uses to trigger cell migration and proliferation to rejuvenate and increase skin volume. You can’t turn back the clock, but you can re-wind it naturally with the SELPHYL® System. As soon as SELPHYL® prepared PRFM is administered, growth factors are released into the skin through a sustained mechanism. In vitro studies have shown that platelet growth factors are released for up to 7 days, supporting collagen production and dermal matrix reconstruction. It is thought that SELPHYL® treats a root cause of skin aging by triggering the production of new cells and collagen. Pronounced effects occur approximately three weeks after the administration of SELPHYL®. Patients have enjoyed visible improvement and regeneration with long lasting effects.
SELPHYL® is administered by Dr. Vafa of New York Medical Aesthetics in a procedure that takes approximately 20 minutes. Desired results may be achieved in just one visit. However, only Dr. Vafa of New York Medical Aesthetics will determine the best treatment approach. Together, you and Dr. Vafa of New York Medical Aesthetics may decide if SELPHYL® prepared PRFM is right for you, especially if you desire a natural solution to looking younger!

What to expect from a Juvederm dermal filler procedure: Client writes about her experience

“I’ve always hated the deep circles under my eyes. They sank down into my cheeks creating lines that made me appear mean or just droopy.
I consulted with other Drs. that didn’t understand my concern. I can live with the pigmentation just not the indentation. Today I went to LaserTouch SoHo hoping for a miracle with a facial filler. Actually, I was willing to settle for just a slight improvement.
It’s located on the second floor above the Tretorn store. The space is clean and quite tasteful. I was greeted politely and everyone was quite friendly. The waiting area is tastefully arranged and avoids the trap of over advertising that most places embrace.
Even though I was early, I saw Dr. Yafa [Vafa] right away. He is quite pleasant and friendly. During our consultation he took the time to understand my true concern. I was not looking to eliminate dark circles (it’s impossible) just the depression that ran from my lower eye to cheekbones. He recommended juvaderm to fill the area and explained how the injections would feel based on the anatomy and the technique he would use to fill the area.
After a topical cream, he started with the filler. Now, it hurts but lets be honest.. it’s a needle to the face. It’s supposed to hurt. Dr. Yafa [Vafa] worked quickly and thoughtful to minimize the discomfort and showed me the progress along the way. It was liberating to see the lines I hate so viciously plump up and go away.
The whole process took about 20 minutes and I left with very, very minimal bruising. Considering how sensitive the eye area can be I was impressed.
Upon checking out, once again the staff was pleasant and friendly. I would certainly recommend the Dr. and this location to my friends and family. I had a great experience.
I suppose I should add that the prices are quite reasonable.”
