New Anti-Aging Product: SELPHYL™
Posted on March 8, 2010 · 1 CommentWe are the first facility in Kansas to implement SELPHYL™, a revolutionarily new product and procedure in the fight against the signs of aging.
Potentially one of the most promising breakthroughs in facial rejuvenation, this system has been marketed for more than two years in Japan and has been cleared by the FDA for introduction in the United States. Technology has discovered that the perfect partner is natural, the patient’s own platelets and fibrin. And, it offers a cost effective alternative to more invasive surgery.

Owner Kathleen Stegman, RN, MA, says: “With the trend clearly toward less invasive treatments in all medical areas, cosmetic surgery is certainly following the course. Dermal fillers have been part of this trend, as an option to facial plastic surgery. This alternative offers us the latest technology and lasting results. The patient has no down time and no adverse effects. We are also using Selphyl with our in office fat transfers for natural breast augmentation and hand rejuvenation.”
SELPHYL™, developed by Aesthetic Factors, is a patented system for the safe and rapid preparation of a soft tissue regenerator referred to as Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM). SELPHYL™ PRFM is injected into a treatment area (face or body) to stimulate cells to promote an increase of volume and rejuvenation of the skin. A small volume of blood is drawn from the patient; the blood is centrifuged to separate platelets, serum and fibrin which is then activated, resulting in the PRFM which is injected to promote facial rejuvenation through targeted tissue re-generation.
“The patients’ own biological factors present in the platelets and fibrin will stimulate soft tissue by triggering the production of collagen and cell growth,” Stegman says. “In this manner, the skin can naturally and efficiently achieve longer lasting rejuvenation.”
As soon as administered, platelets release natural tissue regenerating factors. Studies on Selphyl™ show that platelet growth factors are released for up to seven days, supporting collagen production and dermal matrix reconstruction. Pronounced effects occur approximately four to 12 weeks after the procedure. Patients have reported significant improvement to last one to two years.
Since the procedure uses no synthetic materials, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction and no significant adverse events have been reported. For this reason SELPHYL™ PRFM can be used in many areas to achieve skin rejuvenation.
The procedure lasts less than 20 minutes. SELPHYL™ is prepared and injected by medical professionals in their office. Selphyl is highly cost effective since with one draw of blood, 4 syringes of 1cc can be prepared enabling a full face rejuvenation procedure to be performed.
Aesthetic Factors initially introduced the product in Japan two years ago with over 7,500 patients treated to date.
Here’s more before and after photos of patients who have used SELPHYL™.

Posted on March 4, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Stomach before Zerona
In our most recent poll, we asked: If you could improve one area of your body, what would it be? The majority said it would be their stomach.
Many of the services and products we offer help trim the tummy and keep you from fretting about problem areas like your stomach.

Stomach after Zerona
One of them is Zerona, a body contouring treatment that’s growing popularity, and Midwest Medical Aesthetics is a featured physician on the Zerona Web site.
Like us, Zerona has a blog updating people on when the treatment is mentioned in magazines like Marie Claire. ZERONA utilizes the Erchonia Laser Scanner, the world’s safest and most researched low-level laser. It is clinically proven to shrink your tummy, hips and thighs all without surgery.
Videos show how Zerona works and what it offers to patients. And don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions and want to set up an appointment.
Our First Natural Breast Enhancement
Posted on March 1, 2010 · Leave a CommentLast week we did our first natural breast enhancement procedure, and we are one of only 14 facilities in the entire U.S. using this technique.
If you’ve wondered in the past why you can’t take fat from spots such as your thighs or buttocks and use it to increase the size of your breasts, the breakthrough technique allows you to do just that.
It is remarkable, as we’re able to transfer from fat anywhere on the body to the breasts in lieu of implants.
This procedure also will make it possible for women previously uncomfortable with implants to increase their breast size.
We also are able to do the procedure while you are awake, as with the patient last week.
We’re looking forward to explaining the advantages of natural breast enhancement to you, too.
What Midwest Medical Clients Desire
Posted on February 25, 2010 · 1 CommentWe love offering clients a wide array of services and products for your body, from your head to your toes. And we continue to expand to serve the desires of all of our clients.
It speaks volumes to us when we see that our clients want to look as good as they feel.
We’re finding our most popular makeover your body treatments and products are: the HCG Diet, the Zerona Body Sculpting Treatment and the Accent Your Body Treatment.
We’ve talked a lot about the HCG Diet in past posts, and that’s definitely a focus of ours. And here’s a look at the two other popular procedures to help you look your best.
The Zerona Body Sculpting Treatment is a non-surgical fat reduction and body contouring procedure done with the Erchonia Lipo-Laser. It will allow you to continue your daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, or wounds. Studies show patients averaged a loss of 3.5 inches and some lost up to as much as 9 inches. Treatments take 40 minutes and need to be administered three times a week for two weeks or three times a week for four weeks, depending on your needs.
The Accent Your Body Treatment will help rejuvenate your skin with a toned look that you had as a teenager by using advanced radio frequency technology to treat wrinkles non-invasively. The Accent Your Body Dual-layer RF Thermotherapy stimulates the production of new collagen and improves skin surface texture. The treatment will take up to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. Take a look at these before and after photos.
