Stem cell novitherapy and laser resurfacing - this incredible result was achieved very simply by utilizing only fractional CO2 laser resurfacing and topical stem cells isolated from her own fat. Harvesting the fat derived mesenchymal stem cells is a very simple procedure from the patient’s end, performed with local anesthesia only. Combine that with a very sophisticated process from the physician’s end, and voila, you have some amazing healing and regenerative capacity coming directly from you!
Adipocyte derived stem cells have secretory factors that are effective in the treatment of UV induced wrinkles, with this anti-wrinkle effect mediated primarily by the reduction of UV induced programmed cell death (apoptosis) and the stimulation of collagen synthesis by dermal fibroblasts. These fat derived stem cells increase the overall amount of collagen and elastin tissue created, expedite the healing time, and improve the overall outcome. You can see improvement even in her upper eyelid hooding, without surgery. Interestingly, improvements in skin are noticed after facial fat transfer, even without concurrent laser resurfacing. Results here are 1 year later.
