Frequently Asked Questions

About the Practice & Dr. Simhaee

Who is Dr. E. Jacob Simhaee and where is his practice located?

Dr. E. Jacob Simhaee, MD, FACOG is a board-certified OB-GYN and cosmetic gynecologist serving women in Manhasset, Long Island and Forest Hills, Queens, NY[cite: 1]. His Manhasset office is located at 1201 Northern Blvd, Suite 300—close to North Shore University Hospital[cite: 1]. With over four decades of experience, Dr. Simhaee combines comprehensive women's health care with cutting-edge cosmetic, hormonal, and regenerative treatments under one roof[cite: 1].

What makes Dr. Simhaee different from a standard OB-GYN on Long Island?

Unlike a traditional OB-GYN, Dr. Simhaee's practice integrates conventional gynecology with advanced wellness services: bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), thyroid optimization, managed medical weight loss, body contouring, skin resurfacing, vaginal rejuvenation, hair restoration, the O-Shot, and urinary incontinence treatment—all performed by a physician who specializes in female anatomy[cite: 1]. Women in Nassau County and across Long Island no longer need to visit multiple providers for these concerns[cite: 1].

What areas does Dr. Simhaee serve on Long Island and in New York?

Dr. Simhaee primarily serves Manhasset, Great Neck, Port Washington, Roslyn, Garden City, Mineola, Woodbury, Syosset, Oyster Bay, and across Nassau County, Long Island[cite: 1]. He also sees patients from Queens, Forest Hills, and the greater New York City area at his Forest Hills location at 107-21 Queens Blvd, Suite 1[cite: 1].

Why should I see a gynecologist for cosmetic treatments instead of a med spa?

When a board-certified OB-GYN performs cosmetic and aesthetic treatments, you benefit from a level of anatomical expertise, diagnostic capability, and medical oversight that a typical med spa cannot provide[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee can identify underlying hormonal, structural, or medical causes of concerns like hair loss, weight gain, vaginal changes, or skin aging—and treat the root cause alongside the cosmetic symptom[cite: 1]. He also performs procedures like Morpheus8 vaginal rejuvenation and the O-Shot that require intimate knowledge of female anatomy and should only be performed in a clinical medical setting[cite: 1].

Does Dr. Simhaee accept new patients in Manhasset, NY?

Yes. Dr. Simhaee is currently accepting new patients at both his Manhasset and Forest Hills locations[cite: 1]. Book online at simhaeeobgyn.com or call (516) 365-6167[cite: 1]. Thursday evening hours until 7:00 PM are available for working patients[cite: 1].


Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and who is it for?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by the human body[cite: 1]. It is designed for women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, including menopause, perimenopause, low libido, fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats and sleep disturbances[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee offers BioTE pellet therapy and customized BHRT protocols at his Manhasset, Long Island practice[cite: 1].

What is BioTE hormone pellet therapy and how does it work?

BioTE is a brand of bioidentical hormone pellet therapy[cite: 1]. BioTE as brand has been around since 1995, assisting in over 8,000 patients, and providers across the entire US[cite: 1]. Tiny pellets—approximately the size of a grain of rice—are inserted just beneath the skin in the hip area during a simple in-office procedure[cite: 1]. The pellets release a consistent, low dose of estrogen and/or testosterone over 3 to 6 months, closely mimicking the body's natural hormone release[cite: 1]. Most patients report improved energy, mood, libido, and body composition within weeks of their first insertion[cite: 1].

How is BHRT different from traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

Traditional HRT often uses synthetic or animal-derived hormones that approximate but do not exactly match human hormones[cite: 1]. Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to what your body produces – it’s source is nature[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee customizes every BHRT protocol to the patient's individual hormone levels based on bloodwork, and many women report fewer side effects than with conventional HRT[cite: 1]. Women across Long Island who have been told HRT is not right for them are encouraged to come to our Manhasset office for a comprehensive hormone evaluation[cite: 1].

Can BHRT help with perimenopause and menopause symptoms?

BHRT is one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for perimenopause and menopause symptoms[cite: 1]. Women in Manhasset, Nassau County, and across Long Island who struggle with hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, memory issues, or disrupted sleep may find significant relief through personalized BHRT by Dr. Simhaee[cite: 1]. A comprehensive hormone panel is ordered before starting any treatment[cite: 1].

Does BHRT help with weight loss and metabolism?

Declining estrogen and testosterone are common but often overlooked drivers of stubborn weight gain in women, particularly around the abdomen[cite: 1]. Restoring hormonal balance through BHRT can improve metabolism, increase lean muscle mass, and reduce fat accumulation[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee frequently combines BHRT with his managed medical weight loss program for compounding results at his practice in Manhasset, Long Island[cite: 1].


Morpheus8 — Skin Tightening & Vaginal Rejuvenation

What is Morpheus8 and what can it treat?

Morpheus8 is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that remodels skin and underlying fat by delivering RF energy deep into the tissue[cite: 1]. It stimulates collagen production and tightens skin without surgery[cite: 1]. At Dr. Simhaee's Manhasset practice, Morpheus8 is used for facial rejuvenation, neck tightening, body contouring, and vaginal rejuvenation—a specialized application that addresses laxity, sensation, and tissue quality in the intimate area[cite: 1].

What is Morpheus8 vaginal rejuvenation and who is a good candidate?

Morpheus8 vaginal rejuvenation uses RF microneedling in the vaginal canal and labia to tighten tissues, improve lubrication, enhance sensitivity, and address structural changes from childbirth, hormonal shifts, or aging[cite: 1]. Ideal candidates are women experiencing vaginal laxity, dryness, discomfort during intercourse, or reduced sexual satisfaction[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee performs this procedure at his Manhasset, Long Island office with little to no downtime required[cite: 1].

How many Morpheus8 treatments are needed and what results can I expect?

Most patients achieve optimal results with 1 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart[cite: 1]. Results continue to build over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms[cite: 1]. Skin tightening, texture improvement, and vaginal rejuvenation results are typically long-lasting[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee customizes the treatment plan based on individual goals and findings during your consultation at his Manhasset, Long Island office[cite: 1].

Can Morpheus8 be used on the face and body as well as for vaginal rejuvenation?

Yes. Morpheus8 is a versatile platform used at Dr. Simhaee's practice for facial skin tightening (jowls, lower face, neck), body contouring (abdomen, inner thighs, arms), and intimate rejuvenation—all using the same underlying radiofrequency microneedling technology with different handpiece attachments calibrated for each area[cite: 1]. Many patients combine facial Morpheus8 with vaginal Morpheus8 in the same treatment plan at our Manhasset clinic[cite: 1].


AlmaTed — Hair Restoration

What is AlmaTed and how does it restore hair?

AlmaTed is an injection-free hair restoration treatment offered at Dr. Simhaee's Manhasset, Long Island practice[cite: 1]. It uses a proprietary blend of growth factors, peptides, and hyaluronic acid delivered into the scalp via Alma's needle-free system[cite: 1]. This activates dormant hair follicles, extends the active hair growth phase, and improves scalp health—resulting in thicker, denser hair without needles or downtime[cite: 1].

How does AlmaTed compare to PRP for hair loss?

Both AlmaTed and PRP are effective hair restoration options[cite: 1]. PRP requires a blood draw, centrifuge processing, and multiple scalp injections[cite: 1]. AlmaTed delivers a standardized research-backed formula without needles, making it more comfortable and more consistent[cite: 1]. Women on Long Island who want hair restoration without the discomfort of injections consistently choose AlmaTed with Dr. Simhaee in Manhasset[cite: 1].

What types of hair loss does AlmaTed treat?

AlmaTed is most effective for androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss), telogen effluvium (stress- or hormone-related shedding), and general hair thinning[cite: 1]. Women experiencing hair loss related to hormonal changes—menopause, thyroid imbalance, postpartum shedding—are particularly strong candidates[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee typically addresses the underlying hormonal driver alongside AlmaTed treatment for comprehensive, lasting results in Nassau County[cite: 1].

How many AlmaTed sessions are needed to see results?

A typical AlmaTed protocol involves 3 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months[cite: 1]. Most patients notice reduced shedding and early regrowth after the third session[cite: 1]. Full results are typically visible at 6 to 12 months[cite: 1]. Results are enhanced when underlying hormonal and nutritional deficiencies are simultaneously corrected by Dr. Simhaee at his Manhasset clinic[cite: 1].


Supplemental SEO/AEO FAQs

What are Hair Exosomes?

Hair Exosomes are regenerative signaling products used to support healthier hair follicles and improve the scalp environment[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee may recommend Hair Exosomes as part of a comprehensive hair restoration plan for patients experiencing thinning hair related to hormones, aging, stress, or genetics[cite: 1].

Can Hair Exosomes be combined with AlmaTed?

Yes. Combining AlmaTed with Hair Exosomes may further support follicle health and improve the scalp environment[cite: 1]. Your treatment plan is customized after evaluation[cite: 1].

How do Hair Exosomes compare to PRP?

PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma while Hair Exosomes provide regenerative signaling factors[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee will recommend the best option—or combination—based on your hair loss pattern and goals[cite: 1].

Are take-home products recommended after hair restoration?

Yes. Medical-grade shampoos, scalp serums, and physician-recommended maintenance products can help support long-term hair density following in-office treatments[cite: 1].

Can GLP-1 medications cause muscle loss?

Rapid weight loss may reduce lean muscle mass[cite: 1]. Dr. Simhaee may recommend nutrition, resistance exercise, hormone optimization when appropriate, and EMSculpt NEO to help support body composition[cite: 1].

Can Morpheus8 improve loose skin after weight loss?

Yes. Morpheus8 stimulates collagen remodeling and skin tightening and may improve mild to moderate skin laxity following significant weight loss[cite: 1].

Can Sculptra restore facial volume after weight loss?

Sculptra stimulates your body's natural collagen production and may gradually restore facial volume lost after aging or weight loss while maintaining a natural appearance[cite: 1].

Can Sculptra be combined with Botox and Morpheus8?

Yes. Combination treatment plans can address facial movement, volume loss, and skin quality for comprehensive rejuvenation[cite: 1].

Can EMSculpt NEO complement GLP-1 weight loss?

Yes. EMSculpt NEO can help strengthen muscles and improve body contour while patients pursue medically supervised weight-loss programs[cite: 1].
