Dr. Glat is one of the only Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in the Philadelphia area who “gets it” when it comes to today’s medicine. In fact, he chooses to call his new practice, located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, “The Philadelphia Center for Age Management.” He has turned heads as he has broken new ground. “Age Management” stems from a refreshing philosophy in the progression and reform in the areas of liposuction, hair transplantation, skin care, injectables, and presently with BHRT - bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. The mantra of this new location for Dr. Glat and his staff: believing in treating every patient as a family member. He is unwavering in his dedication to take time with every person who enters his office and goes the extra mile.

Dr. Glat and his team are reformers of the traditional methods about which most of the public is so accustomed to reading and hearing. The doctor has done his homework when it comes to research and implementation of methods and philosophies that continue to evolve. Dr. Glat is on the wave of that change. Moreover, he has a built-in natural curiosity that drives him to further investigate what is best for his patients. Dr. Glat is the maverick of the Mainline.

Breakthroughs continue to affect our communities and impact our lives as technology turns old methods into outdated antiques. Remember the television clips of liposuction you saw ten years ago? Well, things have changed. The Philadelphia Center for Age Management has introduced Slimlipo. This method involves the use of a laser to selectively dissolve fat before removing it, which protects the surrounding vessels and tissue. The laser also allows using smaller cannulas resulting in less bruising. The real “bump” is that Slimlipo tightens the skin once the fat is removed! (Hurray! That was a consequence of the past). If smaller areas are affected, local anesthesia is used. Patients can simply come into the office on an out-patient basis for these small areas. For large areas, Dr. Glat uses a nearby surgical center or one of the hospitals with which he is affiliated. For cellulite, the doctor uses VelaShape that has been cleared by the FDA. Within as few as 6 treatments, VelaShape contours, shapes and slims the body reducing cellulite and circumference.

Do you recall the method of hair transplantation known as “plugs?” That method is also an outdated procedure that has turned the hair loss industry on it’s head! No longer will a men or women look like they have acquired doll hair. Dr. Glat and his team practice the art of “micro unit hair restoration.” This method uses magnification in transplantations that result in hair coverage that is closest to nature. Again, the result is that no matter how a patient ages, that person has the potential to age with a full head of hair!

Another refreshing introduction to skin care has also emerged at the Center for Age Management. Team member, Lisa Rovens explained in depth an all encompassing approach to skin care. There are injectables such as Botox and Restyline, with which most of us are familiar, but the new products, “the genies in a bottle” are Radiesse and Sculptra. Radiesse is said to last approximately one year, and Sculptra boasts that it has no risk of an allergic reaction. Medical team estheticians will consult with patients and walk them through customized Skin Care Regimes. They can incorporate IPL treatments with microdermabrasion, or combine a hydroquinone with a tretinoin cream. The Pharmaceutical Grade Skin Care and personal touch with options is unparalleled. Their costs are also reasonable and competitive.

Have you heard of Suzanne Somers? Of course you have! She was recently on the Oprah Show and her books are a revelation! Dr. Glat has incorporated an anti-aging medicine called BHRT - bioidentical hormone replacement therapy into his practice based upon similar findings. This is considered by many to be “today’s medicine”. If you have ever gone to your own doctor and complained about sleeplessness, chronic stress, depression, anxiety, night sweats, fatigue, unexplained weight gain; and the list goes on - that physician will probably give you a drug. However, some of these symptoms could be related to hormone levels that are at the root cause of your problem. Through a saliva or blood test, Dr. Glat can assess whether or not BHRT could be the solution. (By the way, all of these hormones are from natural sources - derived from plants). What hormones you lack can create havoc in your life; by replacing them with an exact replica of what your body makes, life can change. Your body can change. Get on the wave of change with the Philadelphia Center for Age Management.
