Facial Rejuvenation

Aging is a natural process of life. You may notice your skin begins to sag with lines and wrinkles becoming more prominent. In other cases, you may lose volume in your cheeks and temples, causing you to look tired and unhealthy. As years of sun damage become more apparent, your skin tone, texture, and pigmentation may also change.

While you can’t turn back the clock, you can take viable steps to restore your youthful, healthy appearance thanks to biocellular therapy. This treatment harnesses the power of stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to reduce the physical signs of aging and sun damage, revealing a vibrant, youthful you.

The Power of Stem Cells

Stem cells are unique in their ability to develop into different types of cells as they are needed throughout the body. When you suffer an injury or are fighting a disease, these cells are released throughout the area to catalyze the healing in problematic areas. Recently, advancements have been made that allow injected stem cells as SVF (stromal vascular fraction), nanofat, or umbilical cord to target and rejuvenate specific parts of the body. Biocellular therapy with stem cells and PRP combat signs of facial aging by stimulating tissue regeneration and the natural production of collagen.

Can Anyone Get Treatment?

Facial biocellular therapy with stem cell grafting and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a viable option for anyone looking to address facial imperfections caused by aging. It can target lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, pigmentation changes, and even lackluster skin tone. Loss of facial volume is corrected by fat injections with microfat. Patients should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations for the procedures.

The Procedure

Dr. Alter offers safe nitrous oxide gas anesthesia for a painless and anxiety-free biocellular regenerative therapy treatment. Via a minimally invasive liposuction procedure with the use of local anesthesia and the nitrous oxide gas anesthesia, fat is safely extracted from the body. The fat is then emulsified into nanofat with regenerative stem cells, and then injected into the desired areas. A simple blood draw is used to harvest the patient’s platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is prepared and then injected along with the nanofat. This combination of microfat, nanofat, and PRP can address multiple imperfections, adding volume to areas with sunken appearances, perking up the cheeks, and helping to smooth out lines, wrinkles, and minor skin sagging. Nanofat and PRP will also work together to repair and regenerate tissue, aiding in the correction of sun damage and age spots.

Recovery Time

Since this procedure is minimally invasive, there will be little downtime following the operation. Facial bruising, redness, and swelling vary depending on the type and extent of treatment. Skin creams will be recommended.  You may experience some minimal swelling and bruising in the liposuctioned areas. You should rest for a few days, and you may resume more strenuous activities—like exercise—at that time.

Natural Results

You will notice some results on your face immediately, such as an increase in facial volume if microfat was injected. Lines and wrinkles will be diminished and cheeks will be more defined. Corrections to skin tone, texture, and pigmentation will occur more gradually as the healing properties of stem cells and PRP work to heal and repair damaged tissue.
