Facial Rejuvenation
Regenerative Medicine advancements have led to exciting new anti-aging therapies including cutting edge facial rejuvenation treatments.
We are now able to use these developed technologies to help you repair and maintain the cellular health of your skin.
​
Scientists have determined that the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is the cell responsible for producing fibroblasts. If MSCs are either indirectly or directly (see diagram below) introduced into the dermis, they will reproduce themselves as a stem cell as well as differentiate into brand new fibroblasts. These new fibroblasts will produce collagen, elastin and GAG to help restore and maintain the skin’s firmness, elasticity and hydration.
We apply regenerative medicine to facial aesthetics using two different cellular therapy to utilize your body’s own natural growth factors, proteins and stem cells to reduce wrinkles, scarring, dark spots and offer a more rejuvenated appearance.
(PRP)
Indirect
PRP (PLATELET RICH PLASMA): Our nurse obtains a small sample of blood from your arm then concentrates the powerful platelet rich plasma. The PRP recruits fibroblasts and mesenchymal stem cells to the skin, stimulating the formation of collagen and promoting healing.
(stemcell)
Direct
BONE MARROW MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS: Our board certified doctor removes a sample of bone marrow from your hip. Your stem cells and growth factors are then concentrated and infused directly into the skin. They can produce collagen, elastin and GAG to help restore and maintain the skin’s firmness, elasticity and hydration.
The Importance of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) to Skin
Your skin is dependent on a few factors to retain its elasticity and integrity = Collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan (GAG). These factors are produced by a highly specialized cell called a fibroblast, a cell type that peaks in concentration when we are in our 20’s.
As we age, these cells diminish, causing our skin to change in texture, color and composition.
As this process advances, we succumb to gravity and our skin wrinkles and sags and is less efficient at retaining moisture.
Scientific research has shown us that PRP and MSCs are responsible for stimulating dermal fibroblast proliferation and increasing type I collagen synthesis. This means if the cells are either directly or indirectly introduced into areas of our skin, new fibroblasts will develop and effects of the aging process should begin to reverse.
Soon after treatment, your skin will be energized to begin producing collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan at potentially the same rate as it did when you were younger!
Our Process
Select your source:
PRP+ : Our trained nurse or technician obtains a sample of your blood from your arm.
BMC+ : Our board certified doctor aspirates a sample of your bone marrow from your hip bone.
collection
We isolate the cells and growth factors that assist in rejuvenation using methods to assure we have the highest number per volume possible. Using FDA-approved technology, we concentrate the regenerative properties of either your blood or bone marrow sample.
Concentration
Epidermal Exfoliation - We begin the treatment by cleansing your skin with a light enzymatic solution. This is followed by a gentle exfoliation using microdermabrasion to maximize your cellular therapy and give you a post-procedure glow.
Skin Preparation
An in-office micro-needling device creates micro-channels while simultaneously delivering your cells’ powerful healing factors into the skin at the precise depth research shows to be most effective to increase collagen and elastin production. This results in plumping of the skin as well as reduction in visible fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment stimulates your body's OWN healing capabilities that work to improve your skin for weeks after the treatment.
Microneedling and Infusion of Cells
We complete your procedure with a Red Light LED Therapy treatment that promotes collagen stimulation, suppresses inflammation, and reduces irritation, redness and bacteria living underneath the skin. Finally, you will rest comfortably while a cooling and hydrating mask calms the skin to leave you fresh and glowing!

No Downtime
PRP therapy is different from other cosmetic techniques and plastic surgery. It provides benefits that many other treatments do not:
This treatment is designed to stimulate skin rejuvenation from a cellular level so the effect is gradual. Most people begin to see improvement in their skin quality within weeks of their treatment.
​
Immediately following a facial, you will be able to leave the office and go directly about your day. You will be slightly flushed and glowing, but generally look refreshed and healthy. The collagen reformation and fibroblast proliferation will occur gradually, so the quality of skin will continue to improve over the next few weeks.
​
Outside research and clinical experience suggests that the optimal results occur when a series of three facial treatments are performed on a monthly basis. Some may also choose to have an occasional maintenance facial to boost the effects. However, many people are satisfied with just one treatment and don’t complete the entire series.
​
The most important thing to remember, is that the effects of our PRP Facials will always look natural and healthy. Friends will mention you look younger, rested and refreshed, but they may not be able to pinpoint exactly what has changed!
FDA APPROVAL
All of our biological procedures are performed with either Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or bone marrow derived stem cells (BMC) on the same day with minimal manipulation and homologous use of BMC. We strive to be compliant with the latest relevant FDA Guidance Documents at all times.
