Facial Rejuvenation Treatment through Stem Cells injections

Today, autologous stem cells injections, meaning those coming from one’s own body, represent the apex of aesthetic medicine, with astonishing facial rejuvenation results.

The signs of time fade away, leaving behind new, rejuvenated, and radiant skin.

Produced by the bone marrow, stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of transforming into any type of cell that the body needs. Central to the biological mechanisms of growth and healing, stem cells enable the renewal of our body’s different cells – including those of the skin. These regenerative and reparative properties are extremely valuable in aesthetic medicine. By activating skin regeneration, stem cells create brand new skin, free of any past marks or blemishes. With results that appear incredibly natural, stem cell facial rejuvenation therapy is now the most advanced treatment in anti-aging and regenerative aesthetic medicine.

After being injected into the subcutaneous tissue, the stem cells start to stimulate the production of new skin cells. Consequently, all signs of aging begin to fade over time:

• Diminishing deep wrinkles such as frown lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and neck wrinkles;
• Vanishing of fine lines around the eyes (crow’s feet), mouth, cheeks;
• Elimination of dark circles;
• Fading of pigment spots and scars;
• Restoration of volume, especially in the cheeks and temples;
• Firming of the face outline, chin, and neck;
• Improvement of skin texture, returning its flexibility and elasticity;
• Refreshing of the complexion, making it brighter and more radiant.

These effects develop gradually. Several weeks are needed after the injections to fully appreciate the results. During this period, you will witness the day-by-day rejuvenation of your face.

The stem cell injection treatment involves several steps, since the reinjected stem cells are taken from your own body. Thus, before the injection phase, there is first a step of fat harvesting followed by the extraction of stem cells from the harvested sample.

• Step 1: Fat is harvested from an area that has been decided in agreement with the donor-recipient patient during a preliminary medical consultation. The harvest is performed under general anesthesia.

• Step 2: Stem cells are extracted from the harvested fat. This high-tech procedure is carried out in a specialized laboratory.

• Step 3: The stem cells are reinjected into the face, neckline, neck, or even hands using micro-cannulas. This procedure, lasting between 30 to 45 minutes, is not painful, but an anesthetic cream is available for those who are more sensitive.

Stem cell facial rejuvenation treatment has lasting effects, which never suddenly drop off — your skin will always appear several years younger. However, the natural aging process still continues. Therefore, if desired, it is possible to repeat the injections after a few years.

In this perspective, it can be beneficial to save all or part of the extracted stem cells. Stored in a laboratory for a period of 5, 10, or 30 years, they can be reused at any time in the future. This means that the cells, harvested while young and preserved, will be of better quality than cells extracted several years later.

Finally, storing stem cells also has significant medical value considering their therapeutic potential. Cell therapy, currently experiencing unparalleled acceleration, holds a wealth of promise for treating numerous diseases.

Extracting stem cells from the sample of adipose tissue is carried out in an operating room under sterile conditions. As such, certain conditions are prohibitive.

The stem cell facial rejuvenation treatment is not suitable in cases of HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis.
