Stem Cell therapy has been used by doctors as early as the 16th century to heal damaged cells or tissue. In the past 10 years modern medicine has again started using this process instead of chemicals to treat illness and/or suppress it. A new Stem Cell Facial therapy uses stem cells derived from sheep’s placenta. The placenta and umbilical cord tissue cells are ethically harvested from sheep, post birth. So there is absolutely no harm to animals.
The pluripotent stem cells are extremely nutrient and very similar to embryonic stem cells which means that they have the ability to repair every type of cell in the body. When applied in sufficient concentrations large numbers of bio-active stem cells immediately “de-age” the skin by stimulating the dermal layer to produce increased levels of collagen and elastic fibers. This can be described as skin food that provides cellular renewal, reduces inflammation and hydrates the skin. A new skin rejuvenation treatment that is comparable in results to skin rejuvenation lasers, but without the downtime or cost is called the Eclipse micropen device. This is an automated microneedling device that vertically penetrates the outer layer of skin with a vibrating motion. This techniques causes pin point injury to the skin, thereby stimulating collagen production with no downtime.
Since the needling is automated, discomfort is minimized. Before the microneedling the skin is numbed with topical anesthetic cream, then highly effective medical topical serums or creams are applied to the skin depending on the each individual patient’s needs. For example bleaching creams are used for patients with hyperpigmentation or hyaluronic acid for hydration and plumping of the skin. Then the skin is treated with the microneedling device and the topical agents are driven deeply into the skin. Skin has a healthy pinkish glow upon completion of the treatment. This treatment is very effective for acne scars, keloids, cellulite, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pore size and overall skin tightening and skin rejuvenation. Depending on the patient’s condition and series of treatments may be recommended 2-4 weeks apart.
The stem cell facial has been shown to provide extreme results when used in conjunction with the micropen. Resulting in thicker, younger looking skin. Stem Cell Facials are exclusive to MD Beauty Labs so to learn more or to make an appointment call 561-655-6325 or visit www.mdbeautylabs.com.
