Dr. Goldstein practices aesthetic medicine, where he has an expertise in the use of natural anti-aging biological substances including platelet rich plasma and exosomes derived from umbilical cord stem cells.

It is now widely used in university hospitals by sports medicine doctors for joint issues and by celebrities for cosmetic skin treatments, it is also known as the “Vampire” Facelift. Today, there are hundreds of hair centers world-wide proving the efficacy of PRP therapy to stimulate the regrowth and thickening of hair. PRP Hair Loss Treatment Center in Old Bridge is one of them.

Dr. Goldstein also offers PRP and stem cell facelifts for both men and women to address facial skin defects and volume loss while triggering the production of new cells and collagen formation.
