    Lip Injections: The Obsession

    Lips are part of the central facial anatomical structure, and together with the eyes, they create the visual identity of a person.

    Fuller lips are more attractive and reflect youth.

    Though lip trends change with every passing year, it is my belief that lips have to reflect the personality of the individual and match their features. Whether you seek DaVinci lips following rigorous proportions of a thinner upper lip compared to the lower lip, or Aphrodite lips with equal thickness of the upper and lower lip and an accentuated Cupid’s bow, lip reconstruction becomes a fashionable art. We have a wealth of options available: fillers for volume, threads for lift and support, and PRP for fine lines. All these together give natural and seductive results.

    We invite you to our office for a rejuvenating experience. Mention this blog article to get our “customer loyalty discount”.

    We serve Westchester County, including Hastings on Hudson, Ardsley, Scarsdale, Irvington and New York City.

    Our Century ! – Body Contouring Procedures

    Small Cannula and Smart Lipo Laser Liposuction

    In our office we perform liposuction using the Small Cannula Technique and Smartlipo Laser.

    Both procedures provide great results.

    Smart Lipo Laser Liposuction adds the advantage of very smooth contours and increased skin tightening. It is especially good for skin affected by weight loss or aging. We believe that leaving a thin layer of fat in the treated areas provides a natural and healthy-looking body.

    The best candidates are healthy individuals with no medical problems. Procedures are performed with the patient awake and under local anesthesia. We ask our patients to wear a compression garment after the procedure in order to speed up the recovery.

    We invite you to visit us for a free consultation. Mention our blog during your consultation in order to obtain our “loyalty special discount”.

    We serve Westchester County, including Hastings on Hudson, Ardsley, Scarsdale, Irvington and New York City.

    The PDO Thread Lift – Indications and Results

    The PDO thread lift is quite popular in Europe and Asia but relatively new in the US.

    The procedure is used mainly to treat and lift the sagging skin of the mid and lower face.

    PDO threads are sutures inserted under the skin. Overtime they dissolve leaving behind new fibers of collagen and a younger looking skin. There are different types of threads which can be placed in different patterns with different effects.

    The PDO threads can be inserted in a mesh pattern, armoring and giving support to the lax skin. They can be used to subcize and treat scars or purely to lift the skin.

    The results are better when a higher count of threads is used and when the skin has good elasticity.

    The PDO thread lift is performed under topical or local anesthesia and it is a relatively comfortable procedure. Minimal bruising is expected but not more than with other injectable treatments.

    The potential complications are facial asymmetry, infection, or thread migration.

    my hair lady


    Hair loss—a problem traditionally associated with men is increasingly becoming an issue that women can’t just brush aside. From robots to cloning, we examine the future of healthy hair.

    The Manhattan office of Bob Bernstein, just steps from Park Avenue, is the kind of space that makes successful men feel at home—a good thing for one of the country’s foremost specialists in hair restoration (and the co-author of Hair Loss for Dummies). The layout is part design statement, part science lab, slick with granite, slate, and glass and full of microscopes and high tech gizmos. Among the space’s most noteworthy gadgets is one of only twelve robots in the world programmed to help perform hair transplants, which has a home in Dr. Bernstein’s office.

    Bernstein’s field has traditionally catered to males, but the patient in his waiting room on this sunny afternoon before Thanksgiving is Laurie Martin, a legal assistant with perky features and green eyes. Her brown hair is enlivened by blonde highlights and styled with a sweep of bangs.

    In 1987, when Martin was 37, she noticed her part was widening. “I went to NYU’s dermatology department and, like all naïve women, I thought they would say I had a vitamin deficiency,” she recalls. “But they diagnosed me with hair loss based on my maternal grandfather, and said they would take out plugs from my scalp the size of pencil erasers. In my mind’s eye, that was just too big, so I went on Rogaine until my insurance stopped paying.”

    “You should see it when it’s blown out,” she smiles.

    Martin is one of a growing number of women suffering from hair loss, and taking action. According to the 2006 study by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, 28 percent of patients seeking treatment were women. By 2010, the number grew to 35 percent. Fortunately, technological advances are keeping pace with the demand.
