A New Filler With Great Results Called Selphyl


There's a new dermal filler on the market that is in limited use but is now available in our area.

This new Selphyl filler allows the natural promotion of cell regeneration and aids in the removal of wrinkles. The FDA-approved product is in limited use around the United States and early reports from physicians claim that the results are as good as a face lift.

Dr. Scott Gerrish, Medical Director of Gerrish & Associates Medspa is the first doctor in the DC area to offer Selphyl.

Dr. Gerrish 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 photos to the right show a patient's Before (top) and After (bottom).

The technology used to create Selphyl is not new. It's been around for years for other purposes, such as helping heal sports injuries. It is approved for use on glabella lines, nasolabial folds, acne scars, and postop scars.

Right now Gerrish & Associates is offering 20% off of Selphyl through May 30th. For more information:

The Proof Is In the Pictures


It's so hard to know what products out there are really effective and do what they say they do. But I received some pictures recently from Rodan & Fields Dermatologists consultant Carol Price Adgerson that tell a convincing story about their line of Reverse products.

Rodan & Fields are the dermatologists who created ProActiv for acne that has been incredibly successful with lots of celebrity endorsements. More recently they turned their attention to sun and age damage and have created several lines of products including Reverse. The regimen can literally reverse some of the dullness, brown spots and damage that occurs.

The before and after pictures show the results that were experienced by some users of Reverse and they tell the story better than anything else:




The regimen includes a Deep Exfoliating Wash, Reverse Skin Lightening Toner, Reverse Skin Lightening Treatment and Reverse UVA/UVB SPF 15 Sunscreen.
To learn more about the products or to order them you can visit Carol's website: https://cpadgerson.myrandf.com.
