Does PRP work for hair regrowth? Studies support Platelet-rich Plasma for hair regrowth

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) is quickly becoming a popular and effective treatment for hair loss. Almost a decade ago, physicians began using prp to speed healing and promote cell growth at wound sites. The effectiveness led to experimentation, which eventually led to researchers to studying PRP effectiveness for combating hair loss. A study published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery showed that a “significant reduction in hair loss was observed between the first and fourth injection.” Last year, in a Stem Cell Investigation article that studied PRP research and interviewed 117 people for their first-hand accounts concluded that “PRP therapy works […]

Spring Clean Your Way to Better Skin

Spring is coming. Go to your bathroom and toss out all your old skincare products. Seriously! Take 15 minutes to look through all your products and throw out anything older than a year. It is one of the easiest ways to improve your skin health and complexion. All skincare products contain organic ingredients and they will start to go bad over time. Expiration dates on the products might be further off, but at a practical level, skincare products start to lose their effectiveness after about a year. And worse, products can go bad. If one of your products has visibly changed […]

Dr. Carney featured in the Shopper

For nearly three decades, Martin J. Carney, MD, FACS, has been on the vanguard of cosmetic and plastic surgery in Hampton Roads. In addition to adopting the astonishing technological and medical advances that have made enhancing one’s appearance easier, safer, and more effective for more people, Dr. Carney has also witnessed a sea change in attitudes toward his specialty. “People used to think of cosmetic surgery as the province of only older people or the rich and famous,” Dr. Carney says. “But we don’t cater to a particular segment of the population or to an elite crowd.

“Daddy Do-Over” and Men’s Procedures on the Rise

It’s no secret that the vast majority of plastic surgery patients are women and that men do not have the same societal pressure on their looks as women. But, both men and women want to look youthful and feel good about their appearance. It’s just that the society used to emphasize not caring about looks in men. That is changing. More men than ever sought aesthetic treatment last year. Men made up 40% of all breast reduction cases, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Plastic surgery reality shows have increased public acceptance of cosmetic surgery and a new generation of […]

ThermiRF!

Looking to tighten and lift your face with as little surgery and downtime as possible? Look NO further! Our new surgical treatment, ThermiRF, also called ThermiLift is relatively non-invasive, with little or no bruising and downtime, to say nothing of the cost being MUCH less than a normal surgical facelift. Last week, I got to see the procedure for myself and it is giving women (AND men!) another option if they aren’t sure about a surgical facelift. Our patient came in that morning, and walked out hours later. Costs start at $2000 and go up, but are still more economical […]

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is upon us, as is the holiday season. The chaos, busy days and busier nights fill our calendars. As full as our lives become at this time of year where we need to stop, and take a deep breath, and remember those that have helped us over the last year. It’s amazing how much a short note, quick phone call or text can mean to someone. We love getting notes from our patients and wanted to share a few with you. These notes mean so much to us, and we thank every one of you for trusting The Carney […]

Breast Feeding And Implants

THURSDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) — Women with breast implants shouldn’t worry that breast-feeding will cause sagging, according to a new study. Many women worry that breast-feeding could change the appearance of their breasts, “particularly after they invested in a breast augmentation,” said study author Dr. Norma Cruz, a professor of plastic surgery at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine in San Juan. The study of nearly 120 mothers with breast implants found that breast-feeding was not a significant risk factor for breast sagging. “Women are free to breast-feed without the concern of affecting the appearance of their breast augmentation,” […]
