Greenwich Girl's Glowing Review

Dr. Devgan often receives high praise; however, it is not as often that someone as poignant as Laura McKittrick, better known for her pen name Greenwich Girl, is able to perfectly highlight the high quality of care provided by Dr. Devgan and her staff.

Greenwich Girl’s website recently featured an article on Dr. Devgan regarding the impeccable visit she had whilst learning about Dr. Devgan during their one-on-one interview and discussing her skincare regimen. Laura went on to express how tremendously nervous she was initially for her visit with Dr. Devgan, which can be a concern for many new patients In general. Dr. Devgan receives a vast number of patients with differing issues, from reconstructive surgery for a severe accident (check out our new Art of Reconstructive Surgery coming soon) to Botox for prevention of wrinkles. In McKittrick’s case, it was just the jitters to even meet Dr. Devgan. 

Devgan often receives high praise; however, it is not as often that someone as poignant as Laura McKittrick, better known for her pen name Greenwich Girl, is able to perfectly highlight the high quality of care provided by Dr. Devgan and her staff. Rest assured, Laura McKittrick raved about how magnificent her an Dr. Devga's onversation regarding the Scientific Beauty Skincare line and beauty basics. In particular, Dr. Devgan told McKittrick to utilize three items from her skincare line for her particular needs.

The first was the Platinum Vitamin C+ Luminous Night Serum. This enriched serum is one of Dr. Devgan’s must haves and is made for all types of skin. The second product McKittrick tried was the Platinum Glow Serum. This product is another of Dr. Devgan’s top four skincare regimen starters. It contains retinol to help decrease the look of fine lines and wrinkles, which McKittrick expressed she is beginning to be more concerned about. Lastly, Dr. Devgan advised McKittrick to utilize the Platinum Microdermabrasion. This particular product is in our October spotlight as its properties are wonderful for sloughing off the old and shining up the new. It is often a perfect fit for those utilizing the Platinum Triple Glow Anti-Aging Night Treatment or the Platinum Glow Serum. Both of which are known to have 6-8 weeks of skin peeling due to the active ingredients. Remember, this is all part of seeing fabulous results, but shedding skin may be trying and the Platinum Microdermabrasion is the sidekick to the superheroes of skin products.

The latest addition to the office was designed by Nemo Jantzen, a multi-media artist from Holland. The gorgeous piece consists of nails and thread on white wood to create texture which when looked at from a distance becomes the portrait of a woman. 

Another piece that is typically admired right as patients, customers, and visitors enter the office is the Andy Warhol Souper Dress. This beautiful 1966 piece is a classic icon in American art history. For those who do not know, Andy Warhol was known for his signature, and at the time revolutionary, techniques to create his artwork. He also was the designer of the Campbell's Soup can label, which is still used today. It is an incredible honor to have this piece in the office.

Once patients have begun their journey to the examination rooms, a beautiful mirror greats them. This artwork was designed by Maurizio Cattelan. The mirror allows the onlooker become a piece of art without stepping into an operating room or needing a syringe. 

During a consultation, visitors can see Hong Sang-Sik's Breast II, which is an intriguing modern three dimensional piece that replicates the breast in an artistic manner. Also visible is the pink Jeff Koons Balloon Dog that sets happily on its own shelf. 

Just as guests are saying their goodbyes to the office, two pieces catch their eyes. The first is the hanging piece above the receptionist area. Joel Hotchkiss's Starlet is a hanging mobile made of metal mesh and aluminum to create a contemporary depiction of a woman's face. The second is a lamp; however, it is not a typical light on a nightstand. This lamp was made to have two dimensional features and still light up the room.

There are still choices being made for additions to the 969 Park Avenue office collection. We hope to update you as soon as fresh artwork arrives.

We hope you enjoy a glimpse into Dr. Devgan's office art choices!

Platinum Hyaluronic Serum featured in Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Issue

Dr. Devgan was recently featured in Allure magazine’s Best of Beauty 2017 edition featuring Kim Kardashian! Each year Allure creates an edition with, typically, 250-300 beauty products in hair, skin, and makeup. To be listed in Allure for the Best of Beauty edition is an honor.

Platinum Hyaluronic Serum was the featured product from Dr. Devgan’s Scientific Beauty skincare line and included in the products “You Want Now”. In the the most recent “regram” about this product, the person stated it made their skin feel “plush and hydrated”. There is nothing better than knowing patients and customers are enjoying the products alongside being listed in Allure.

Dr. Devgan considers four products absolute necessities in her skincare line. These include Platinum Glow Serum, Platinum Vitamin C+ Luminous Night Serum, Platinum SPF 45 Daily Tinted BB Cream, and, not surprisingly based on outside reviews, Platinum Hyaluronic Serum. All four of these products if used as directed by Dr. Devgan have worked miracles for many customers ‘and patients’ skin.

Platinum Hyaluronic Serum in particular is incredible. It absorbs 1000 times its weight in water and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This gives the wearer a subtle, soft complexion. Better yet, there are numbers to back up the testimonials! If you are interested check out a couple of facts about Platinum Hyaluronic Serum:

·       Reduces wrinkle appearance and volume by 15% with 2 weeks of regular use

·       190% Increase in elastin production after 11 days

·       179% Increase in collagen I production after 11 days

·       194% Increase in collagen III production after 11 days

·       85% increase in hyraluronic acid synthesis

·       50% decrease in skin laxity after 28 days

·       Improvements sustained after two months of treatment

·       80% inhibition of MMP enzyme activity (types 1 and 2)

·       Improves the skin’s barrier function and shows a reduction in the appearance of rosacea over a 12 week period

Dr. Devgan is extraordinarily excited to have been featured in Allure for her skincare line and wishes to graciously thank the magazine for including her product.

Our Signature Microneedling+PRP Treatment Featured on the Free People Blog

Free People’s blog, BLDG 25, is the latest in string of news to praise Dr. Devgan’s techniques in plastic surgery. Brigette Muller, a freelance Free People Contributor, came to the office for a micro-needling with platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) treatment (see the video directly below or our full blog post at http://laradevganmd.com/blog/2017/9/20/crafting-clear-complexion-dr-devgan-performs-microneedlingprpv) and a one-on-one interview with Dr. Devgan to answer more in-depth questions regarding micro-needling.

Muller’s experience was documented in her new Free People blog (link to blog) and on her Youtube channel (watch below).

We are thrilled that Muller had an enjoyable experience and cannot wait to see her full results!

There a few things to remember when considering collagen induction therapy (aka micro-needling). Micro-needling can be done with or without platelet rich plasma (PRP). Micro-needling alone has been known to develop collagen and elastin successfully, which in turn allows for damage to skin, such as acne scarring, wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, to be corrected over time. Micro-needling treatments are typically needed more than once as each individual patient has a different skin type along with differences in their desired results.

The next, logical question for most patients is usually, “What is the purpose of the PRP then?” Well, there is a multi-facet reasoning. Platelet rich plasma, typically, enhances your results significantly as it, in a sort, provides nutrients to the skin to heal and stimulate growth. PRP can help reduce the overall redness too and patients tend to see results more quickly and better than if just doing micro-needling alone.

Something we were excited Brigette discussed on the Free People blog and her Youtube channel video was that the process is fairly painless. There are many questions and concerns, especially for those frightened of needles about the use of a Dermapen. The dermapen needles only prior to adding a numbing lidocaine cream. This keeps patients from feeling the needles for the most part, except, perhaps the “bonier areas” as Bridgette Muller put it.
