RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwire - Dec 20, 2012) - Dr. Sandra Fearrington, a plastic surgeon in Cary, NC, is the only surgeon in the area that offers Selphyl®, a dermal filler that utilizes a patient's own blood to harvest platelets containing stem cells. She received extensive training from a national Selphyl® trainer to polish her techniques and says Selphyl®, also known as the "vampire" filler, provides numerous benefits, which can help patients achieve a more youthful appearance.

According to Dr. Fearrington, some of the principal benefits of Selphyl® include:

• All natural, minimally invasive procedure using patient's own blood
• No risk of reaction or allergy associated with other dermal fillers
• Improves the actual texture and tone of the skin, which Dr. Fearrington says not all dermal fillers are capable of doing
• Stimulates growth of new collagen
• Entire procedure takes 30 minutes or less
• Minimal to no downtime required
• Can be used in conjunction with other dermal fillers

Dr. Fearrington says the national trainer has helped her learn advanced injection techniques that reduce bruising and swelling. She has also learned how to use Selphyl® for the neck, chest and hands. In regards to the ideal candidate for the procedure, Dr. Fearrington says:

"An ideal candidate for this procedure is anyone looking for a natural alternative to dermal fillers to restore volume to the face. Patients who consider treatment of the tear troughs are also excellent candidates because there is no risk of lumpiness."

Dr. Fearrington believes that receiving the necessary training for the Selphyl® system has enabled her to enhance patient care at her plastic surgery practice. She is now able to offer a less invasive alternative to other dermal fillers which poses less risks and minimal discomfort. Whether patients' opt for surgical or nonsurgical procedures, Dr. Fearrington's goal is to provide patients with the best treatment options to ensure complete satisfaction.
