Verve medical cosmetics: safe and minimally invasive restoration of youth

When it comes to our appearance, we tend to be our own worst critics, and any perceived imperfections as we age can lead to a loss of self-confidence and cause insecurity. But to fight the effects of aging and regain youthful vitality and confidence, look no further than Verve’s famed medical cosmetics, which boasts multiple stores, including one here on Long Island.

Dr. Steven Bracci – owner, founder and chief medical officer of Verve Medical Cosmetics – is always in touch with each of his patients, and his practice is limited to non-surgical procedures based only on cosmetic injections.

“Mostly I do procedures where I restore part of the face – or the whole face – with fillers,” he said. “As we age, we lose the support system under the skin, and as a result, our skin folds and hangs in a different way. With the help of cosmetic injections, we can restore the shape of the face.”

Verve’s main studio is located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, but several other locations are available, including Westchester, Northern New Jersey, Miami, and his Long Island practice in Garden City.

According to Dr. Bracci, Verve Medical Cosmetics originally opened its doors for business in 2000 and it was the advent of cosmetic injectables that really contributed to the success of his practice.

“In 1999, there was a lot of demand for laser treatments, especially for laser hair removal. At the time, we thought that we would have some kind of energy device that would become the Holy Grail… we could use it to reduce skin, improve the appearance of people and make them look younger,” he said. “It never came to fruition, but in the early 2000s I discovered injectable fillers as a replacement for lost support. I had a good eye and a passion for it and it all came together and made me who I am today.”

Dr. Bracci has also developed a special technique called the EyeRise procedure to treat bags under the eyes, for which he is particularly famous; According to him, the procedures used at Verve Medical Cosmetics are extremely effective in restoring youthful strength and vitality.

“When people reach a certain age and they have changes in their face, they really only have two options… a surgical choice or a non-surgical choice,” he said. “When you go for surgery, your skin doesn’t age, but the future of our industry, in my opinion, is adding injectable support systems because we can reshape the face and really lift the skin.”

Dr. Bracci said that he can return the lost support system and make the face more rested and younger while maintaining the most natural look; however, regular maintenance is required to maintain optimal results.

“I usually break my procedures down by about one year, although many people wait much longer than a year,” he said. “My advice is to do this once a year, because when people come to me for an EyeRise or non-surgical facelift (BaseLift), there is usually a year or more between treatments, depending on their cosmetic needs.”

At Verve Medical Cosmetics, you will be under the personal supervision and care of Dr. Bracci himself, so you know that he will always personally use his advanced techniques and skills to achieve your facial rejuvenation.

For those who are afraid to undergo a cosmetic procedure, Dr. Bracci notes that his injections are safe and effective.

“For people who are really looking to look rested, young and natural, non-surgical treatment is a very effective option,” he said. “The biggest misconception when people get these fillers is that they will look puffy and fake, which is not the case. Both soft and hard infills are available, and experienced clinicians like myself use hard infills, resulting in more architectural detail and a more natural look. They don’t look swollen or fake at all.”

“Our faces are a combination of soft tissue and hard tissue, namely bone,” he added. “Harder fillers add more structure, almost like bone, and give you a more natural look.”

It is no secret that many people care about their appearance and often go to great lengths to improve their appearance by any means necessary. Satisfaction with your appearance can carry over to the rest of your life, building confidence and peace of mind. Dr. Bracci said he is very proud to have dedicated his career to helping people in this regard and the positive feedback he receives from his many clients makes all the hard work more than worth it.

“I have never done anything more useful and people are very grateful to me for that. I always enjoy listening to my patients’ stories about their experiences with other people,” he said. “People often mistakenly attribute their best looks to simple skin care, but they never realize the truth. Once you restore the shape of the face, people just look much stronger and younger. It’s really just a fantastic feeling to help so many people.”
