surgeon who lectures and trains on cosmetic,
surgical, and aesthetic laser topics.
Dr. Goldfarb is the founder of SmartLipo
& Plastic Surgery in Langhorne. He also
is the Medical Director for The Silhouette
Lift, Selphyl, and Viora. Dr. Goldfarb
partnered with Peter Sinaiko, MD, FACS,
to form Progressive Men’s Health. Dr.
Sinaiko is a board certified urologist. He
invented the Silhouette Bladder Lift and
is known for his work in prostate cancer
research and the use of platelet rich
plasma (PRP) in urology.
Dr. Goldfarb and Dr. Sinaiko have
developed a successful treatment for ED.
According to Dr. Sinaiko, there is a series
of six visits over a period of three weeks.
FDA-approved shockwave therapy is used.
This therapy is non-invasive, non-surgical,
and has long term effectiveness. The therapy
is done in the office as an outpatient
procedure with little discomfort. A topical
cream is available for patients who wish
to numb the area.
According to Dr. Goldfarb, there are
two injections given between the fifth and
sixth treatments. The first is the FDA-approved
Selphyl. This is a platelet rich fibrin
matrix, which enhances the tissue by
increasing blood flow to the tissue. Increasing
blood flow increases the success
for the patient. In addition to the Selphyl,
some patients receive amniocytes. The
FDA-approved product is an allograft of
tissue. This means that it came from a live
individual and that immature cells will develop
into mature cells. This is placed in
patients to enhance new tissue growth, as
well as new blood supply. The amniocytes
work in synergy with the platelet rich fibrin
matrix.
To date, Dr. Goldfarb and Dr.
Sinaiko have successfully treated 75 patients.
The ages ranged from 30 to 80,
with a majority between 50 and 60.
“Ninety percent of the patients had failed
on Viagra, but have had a response to this
treatment. To us, this is game changing,”
says Dr. Goldfarb. The doctors follow up
with patients at three months, six
months, and one year. Patients see almost
immediate improvement in their ED.
The therapy is affordable, and most men
will only need to do it once. There also
are no side effects involved.
“Our greatest success story was a gentleman
who had not been able to perform
for over 10 years. He was a diabetic. Even
after the first treatment the couple was
able to perform. They were ecstatic. For
so many years there were not able to have
any type of relations,” Dr. Goldfarb says.
The doctors are conducting an ongoing
clinical study with their treatment of
erectile dysfunction. “We are seeing a difference
in the patients who receive both
the Selphyl and the amniocytes along

with the shockwave therapy. The success
rate is close to 100 percent. We have been
extremely pleased about our outcomes,
which have superseded outcomes
achieved overseas,” Dr. Goldfarb says.
According to Dr. Goldfarb, Progressive
Men’s Health is the only practice in
the country offering this ED treatment.
Patients travel from all over for treatment.
Dr. Goldfarb and Dr. Sinaiko currently
are training other doctors on their methods.
In addition, by the end of November,
the doctors will be offering a new ED
treatment for women.
