Skin appearance issues are a common complaint among men and women of any age. Older patients experience fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and facial creasing. Younger patients may have acne scarring, sun damage, and enlarged pores.
When it comes to skincare concerns, countless products and treatments promise to resolve these issues and revive your complexion. While many of them may improve your skin in certain ways, notably in the short term, they often fail to address these concerns in a significant and lasting way. Typical fillers and botox use synthetic materials that may cause adverse reactions or complications such as filler migration, rejection, infections, scarring, or necrosis. A more effective treatment might be stem cell skin rejuvenation.
With STEMulation, a patient’s own stem cells can be injected directly into their face to help heal damage to the skin. These stem cells immediately begin working to regenerate new growth, resolving the appearance of the following concerns:
Patients who receive stem cell skin rejuvenation can experience a noticeable difference in the way their skin looks and feels. Their complexion is often smoother and more youthful looking after treatment. The effects of stem cell therapy are long lasting because changes were made at the cellular level rather than on the surface. If you're thinking about getting stem cell facial injections, here's what you can expect:
Before getting stem cell facial injections, you'll have a comprehensive consultation with a licensed and trained healthcare provider. During this consultation, our professionals will assess your skin to determine if you're a good candidate for the treatment. They'll also discuss your medical history, any medications you're taking, and any allergies you have. This consultation is an essential part of the process, as it ensures that the treatment is safe and effective for you.
If you're not already a patient, the consultation will include gathering information to determine the overall health of your stem cells. Usually, if it's determined that your skin concerns will respond well to STEMulation, you can schedule the treatment right away. Sometimes, depending upon a variety of factors, we suggest a stem cell optimization period. Our team will give you detailed information on how to support your body over a short period to produce stem cells that will do their best to regenerate your facial skin. We'll also schedule the treatment, so that you can have the procedure as soon as you're finished optimizing.
Once you're cleared for the treatment, we can begin the procedure. We take your bone marrow from the hip area with the use of a little lidocaine. We then use that bone marrow to pull out your stem cells. Those stem cells are injected into your face and neck, paying extra attention to what you have identified as your problem areas. We will numb your facial area to make the injection as painless as possible.
After the procedure, you'll experience some swelling, bruising, and redness on your face. Your hip may be slightly sore for the next few days. On your face and neck, you may have a little slight swelling and bruising that will dissipate over the next week. These side effects are normal and will subside within a few days. You may also experience some discomfort. You'll need to avoid strenuous activities, direct sunlight, and any skincare products that contain harsh chemicals for a few days.
Patients who receive stem cell skin rejuvenation can experience a noticeable difference in the way their skin looks and feels. Their complexion is often smoother and more youthful-looking after treatment. The effects of stem cell therapy are long-lasting because changes were made at the cellular level rather than on the surface.
The results of stem cell facial injections are gradual and natural-looking. You'll notice a significant improvement in the texture and tone of your skin within a few weeks. Over time, your skin will become smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking. The results can last for up to 2-3 years, depending on your age, skin type, and lifestyle. When the results begin to fade, it is due to natural aging, which of course always continues. This is actually a good thing, because the results will gradually diminish over a long period, avoiding a sudden droop or drastic change. You can usually continue to have this procedure as you see fit throughout your life. There are no harmful effects from continued use, and you will not develop an emotionless or immovable face.
Stem cell injections are considered safer and more effective than typical fillers because they use a patient's own cells to regenerate new growth and heal damage to the skin. This means that there is no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection from the body. Additionally, the effects of stem cell therapy are long-lasting because changes were made at the cellular level rather than on the surface.
Downsides of Typical Fillers
In contrast, typical fillers use synthetic materials that may cause adverse reactions or complications such as filler migration, rejection, infections, scarring, or necrosis. Filler migration occurs when the filler moves away from the original injection site and creates an uneven or unnatural appearance. This can happen over time as the body metabolizes the filler material, or as a result of physical trauma or pressure on the treated area. Filler rejection happens when the body's immune system reacts negatively to the filler material, causing an adverse reaction. This can happen if the body sees the filler material as a foreign substance and attacks it. Symptoms of filler rejection can include redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site, and may require medical attention. With STEMulation, we are injecting you with your body's own stem cells, so the risk of rejection is drastically minimized.
Filler injections can cause scarring or necrosis if they are not administered properly. Scarring can occur when the filler material is injected too superficially or when too much filler is injected into one area. This can cause the skin to stretch and create an unnatural appearance, leading to the formation of scar tissue. Necrosis, on the other hand, occurs when the filler material blocks blood flow to the surrounding tissues, causing the tissue to die. This can result in the formation of open sores, ulcers, or even skin breakdown. All of our procedures are performed under the guidance of certified medical practitioners and by an expertly-trained team.
Another issue to consider is the unknown long-term effects of fillers. While they may provide immediate and satisfying cosmetic results, the long-term effects of regularly injecting foreign substances into the body are still not fully understood. Some studies suggest that fillers may contribute to tissue damage or premature aging in the treated area, while others indicate that they may increase the risk of infection or other complications.
Why Stem Cell Injections Are Safer
Stem cell facial injections are a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment that can help you achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. Unlike traditional fillers, which can lead to complications like rejection or migration, stem cell injections are far less likely to cause any issues. This is because the stem cells are taken from your own body, which minimizes the risk of any adverse reactions. Additionally, because stem cell injections encourage the growth of new collagen and elastin, they can actually improve the health and texture of your skin over time, rather than just temporarily filling in wrinkles or lines. This means that you can enjoy a more youthful and radiant appearance without having to worry about infections, scarring, or other complications that can sometimes arise with more invasive procedures.
