As science advances, we get better and better at understanding how the body’s regenerative processes work. Better still, we’re learning how to harness them. Regenerative medicine transforms healing from surgery, recovering from injury, and — and here’s the kicker — even how you look.
At our offices on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York City and in Madison, Connecticut, Dr. Norman J. Pastorek and Janice Pastorek, BSN, RN, offer treatments applying bio-regenerative aesthetics. This lets us leverage your body’s natural abilities to transform your cells and tissues to move you toward your cosmetic goals. It gives you a way to fall in love with your skin again because your results look like you, just better.
We offer several different types of bio-regenerative aesthetics treatments. Visit us at either of our Norman J. Pastorek, MD, PC, FACS offices and we can personalize a treatment plan for you.
We offer five bio-regenerative aesthetics treatments that help in targeted ways:
For platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), we start by taking a tiny sample of your blood. That lets us separate out your platelets, which contain growth factors. PRF and PRP work in slightly different ways, but when injected, they kick-start collagen production and tissue regeneration. Collagen is the protein that supports your skin structure.
A product of the rightly respected Korean skincare movement, polynucleotides come from salmon DNA. Applying them helps with skin hydration, elasticity, and fine line reduction, while improving overall tone and texture.
Polynucleotides are a relatively new bio-regenerative medicine treatment, but even early research underscores their promise.
This treatment gives you the power of polydioxanone (PDO) threads, but through a topical serum. Combined with hyaluronic acid (HA), it works to minimize imperfections like scars, dark circles, and fine lines while improving skin texture.
EzGEL combines your PRF with human serum albumin (HSA), which studies show has protective benefits for your skin. EzGEL works like a natural filler, plumping and rejuvenating areas like undereye hollows.
Exosomes can help with scar reduction, getting rid of old skin cells, and improving your skin’s overall health. At our offices, we only use Mayo Clinic-approved exosomes. We often recommend this treatment for patients struggling with redness (including rosacea), unwanted pigmentation, and fine lines.
If you want to explore aesthetics treatment that uses your own biological capabilities, come see our team. We can help you identify the right option(s) based on your cosmetic goals.
We also finesse the delivery method for optimal results. With polynucleotides or AfterGlo, for example, we might recommend laser treatment or microneedling beforehand to prepare your skin.
With many bio-regenerative treatments, you see some improvement with a single visit but the best results come with two to three sessions. We can let you know what we recommend based on the level of transformation you want to achieve.
