Appointments can be requested through the website. The office is open Monday and Tuesday from 9 am to 4 pm, Wednesday and Friday from 3 to 7 pm, and is closed Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; the phone number is (718) 815-2300. Patients who cannot keep an appointment or expect to be late are asked to call the office as soon as possible. The office has on-site ultrasound testing.
Aesthetic surgeon consultations start with a discussion of a client's goals and the treatments that may fit them, which can include Botox, hair loss treatment, weight loss and skin rejuvenation. Botox uses purified botulinum toxin injected into facial muscles to soften dynamic lines and wrinkles. It is done without anesthesia and takes about 10 minutes, with the site stating results appear within two to four days and last about four to six months.
The vampire facial, also called a PRP facial, uses the patient's own plasma and platelets, which are separated from blood drawn from the arm by centrifuge and applied through microneedling. The practice describes it as having no downtime and no side effects, and advises avoiding sun exposure, strenuous exercise and saunas for at least 72 hours afterward. The site states results appear in four to six weeks and last three to six months, with continued improvement after repeat treatments. RF microneedling pairs a fine-needle roller with radiofrequency energy to reach deeper layers; a topical anesthetic is applied 30 minutes to an hour beforehand, sessions run about 10 to 20 minutes, and most people see results three to six months after treatment, with an average of four sessions.
Hair loss treatment begins with an exam and questions to find the cause, which may include a scalp biopsy. Options range from at-home products and oral Finasteride to PRP with microneedling, steroid injections, hair transplant and low-level laser therapy. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, also called BHRT, is preceded by hormone level checks to set the level of therapy and is often paired with counseling on exercise, diet and stress management. The practice accepts most traditional insurance plans and asks patients to confirm their plan before booking; it will file for reimbursement when the patient is free to choose their own doctor. Checks, cash and credit cards are accepted, with payment questions going to the Financial Coordinator. The practice states that all its professionals maintain the highest levels of accreditation and continue their education.
Pairs cosmetic and wellness treatments with medical oversight from surgeons, with attention to overall health as well as appearance. Where hormone therapy is used, it is often combined with lifestyle counseling.
