The results I have gotten from ProCell Therapies is truly astounding. It has quickly become one of the most popular treatments at my office and my clients cannot get enough of it. Also ProCell customer service and Dr Schwartz himself are extremely knowledgeable and have answered every question I have had in a very timely manner. Two thumbs up for ProCell and for Dr Schwartz.
I have worked in the medical field as a consultant for ten years. I have also worked for a plastic surgeon for two years. I have been receiving fillers for 33 years when they first appeared on the market. I usually have two injections a year so there are never any lines on my face. I have never had a better result than with Dr. Schwartz. I am 73 going on 74 in October. Dr. Schwartz explained what was best for me and, put no pressure on me to choose from his recommendations. He answered all my questions. He is pleasant and very courteous. His staff is great also. Tell me where in this day and age a doctor will come into a waiting area and take you to the examining room with a smile and a very kind comment. It just doesn't exist. In this office, you are made to feel important and not just another patient. I had a bilateral lower blepharoplasty and canthopexy in January of this year by a surgeon in Tampa who had very high scores and many good reviews. He did a horrible job and now I have bags under my left eye and the canthopexy was a failure. Now I need to find another plastic surgeon for a revision and I am not happy. At my age, I do not like having to go to a surgery center and be put under with general anesthesia When I have my revision later in the year, I will return on line and you can see the new me.
What a wonderful man, superb listener with incredible patience. You never feel pressured even at busiest times. He does enough to make look good but not overdone. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great, caring cosmetic dermatologist. Thank you Dr Schwartz for putting up with all my questions.
It's hard to know where to begin needless to say I have been searching for a very long time for a procedure that was non invasive and next to no down time...through these years I have come across some pretty scary things that have happened to women like myself who are in search of the fountain of youth. Today...I feel SERIOUSLY 10 years younger. My incentive to lose weight has increased 10 fold and I FEEL GREAT. I am continually amazed everytime I look in the mirror and see those saggy jowls gone and the deep creases where I smile...YOUNG AGAIN! And although this truly is the highlight of my year....the downtime was next to none! I went to work directly after the procedure, yes, there was some swelling and ever so slight bruising and in a couple of days...MAGIC! Dr. Schwartz is incredible. He definitely knows what he is doing. I can't wait to see him again and touch base with some minor issues I would like him to erase! Forever thankful! Patty
Having had two Sculptra sessions, I have never had any adverse reactions.

I did it to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and in general to erase the look of being tired. I now look younger and refreshed. He has also helped me to keep my complexion healthy. He has referred me to products providing the best sun protection and care for the mature complexion.
Fine lines and Wrinkles
67 yrs old and needed some fill on areas that needed it
To fill out my face Updated on 5 Dec 2011: the pros are no surgery needed to look younger with this injectable. the cons, is that it is pricey. Updated on 27 May 2015: i just again got some more injectables around my face. picture of 2 hours after injectables and then picture is about 10 days post injectable. Updated on 27 May 2015: i was able to get some selfies and crop some pictures for you to see. i had sculptra, radiesse, and yeoman injected the same day. Updated on 9 Feb 2019: I just saw again my dermatologist and just had 2 vials of sculptra, 1 vial or radiesse and 60 units of xeomin injected again in my face. will show below the pictures. I think once a year injections of the above Is a great way to feel rejuvenated.
My office, as well as numerous offices and spas across the country, are using microneedling for treatment of active acne. However, it is effective for this purpose only when done to enhance penetration of an appropriate serum to reduce inflammation in the skin.There are much better products than PRP to use with micro-needling because PRP is strongly pro-inflammatory (not good). We do all our micro-needling treatments using a serum from ProCell Therapies that is made for this purpose and contains a high concentration of growth factors derived from stem cells from human bone marrow. These growth-factors are very anti-inflammatory and are much more "skin specific" than PRP which enables rapid healing with significantly less inflammation post procedure, with better results. Stem cells secrete growth factors that modulate inflammation downward while providing pro-healing bio-signals.
A shave excision is typically the easiest, most cost effective, and least likely to scar method of removal especially if you are prone to keloids. With this method the mole is actually "shaved off" at a level just below the surface of the skin. Dermatologic surgeons typically do this procedures expertly.
The majority of microneedling pens on the market utilize a "gliding" technique that produces elongated scratches on the skin due to local tissue trauma. This has been nicely demonstrated in clay models. It is inherent in the technique and can't be avoided. In my office, we use the ProCell Therapies microchanneling system which uses a "stamping" technique that ensures vertical needle insertions into the skin causing very little tissue trauma. This system also uses concentrated human growth factor serums made from human stem cells which has been shown to be superior to PRP. There is also an at-home microneedling treatment kit just released by Célage Bioscience. This kit uses the same stamping motion, enabling you to safely do microneedling treatments at home with human growth-factor serums derived from stem cells. The kit contains a hand-held microneedling stamping tool with 0.25 mm needles.
Slower microneedling needle tip speeds are mostly for beginners learning the technique. Faster speeds with more needles, in experienced hands, equates to both shorter treatment times and more skin perforations which causes greater penetration of topically applied serum and potentially better results. In published scientific studies, the optimal needle length for enhanced penetration has been proven to be 0.5 mm.
Microneedling treatments can now be safely done at home with a new treatment kit from Célage Bioscience. This kit will enable you to do home microneedling treatments using a growth-factor serumderived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with a hand-held microneedling stamping tool with 0.25 mm needles. These treatments have been proven effective for treatment of acne scars, fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, and skin brightening. Interestingly, studies are now showing that shorter needle lengths are more effective than longer needle lengths for creating channels that allow for better penetration of topical serums and medications. Longer needles create more tissue damage, swelling and bleeding which can adversely affect penetration of these serums. A published scientific study showed a significantly greater penetration of serum applied after microneedling with 0.5 mm needles vs 1.5 mm needles.
