Last month in Chicago, at the annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The Plastic Surgery Foundation, we had the opportunity to unveil a groundbreaking new facial rejuvenation<\/a> process, the culmination of years of research and development.\u00a0 This process, which was the winner of the Plastic Surgery Foundation\u2019s \u201cShark Tank\u201d competition, should allow us to harness the regenerative power of adult stem cells to safely and effectively alleviate the signs of facial aging with a simple, minimally invasive procedure.<\/p>\n

Many commercially available cosmetic products and serums promise to give you rejuvenated, younger-looking skin, and while they may achieve some degree of superficial success by moisturizing and filling in surface imperfections, creating the illusion of a smoother, more even skin tone, they largely fail to address the underlying causes of facial aging.\u00a0 As we age, skin begins to lose volume and elasticity so that sagging folds and wrinkles begin to appear.\u00a0 This process can, to some degree, be counteracted by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which is exactly what many over-the counter cosmetic products claim to do.\u00a0 However, these vital proteins are produced deep in the skin\u2019s dermis, and these deep layers of skin are completely protected by the stratum corneum, the skin\u2019s outermost layer.\u00a0 The stratum corneum exists, in part, to prevent any foreign substance from being absorbed into the body, and so, for any topically applied products<\/a> to affect real and lasting change, they must be able to penetrate past this protective covering and into the deepest layers of the dermis.\u00a0 Most can\u2019t, and this is why most topical serums so often fail to live up to their claims.<\/p>\n

Our new facial rejuvenation system is based on the idea that collagen and elastin production can be stimulated by exposing the deep skin tissues to stem cells.\u00a0 The human body is composed of about two hundred different kinds of cells: skin cells, muscle cells, fat cells, blood cells, nerve cells, etc.\u00a0 Each has a highly specific structure and function, but all started out as rapidly reproducing, unspecialized stem cells.\u00a0 These stem cells form a sort of building material for the body.\u00a0 They are present in large concentrations within developing embryos, but also exist throughout the adult body, particularly in the fat and blood marrow, where they can be activated when the body needs to produce new tissue to heal from an injury.\u00a0 In fact, it has been proven that adult stem cells<\/a> taken from the fat and bone marrow, along with the growth factors they release, can greatly accelerate wound healing and improve collagen production.\u00a0 Theoretically, they can also re-stimulate the skin\u2019s natural growth processes, effectively counteracting the signs of facial aging, like wrinkles and sagging, by regenerating fresh and vital new skin.\u00a0 However, these complex proteins are simply too large to get through the stratum corneum, and can only function if exposed to the deeper tissues where the natural process of skin regeneration occurs.<\/p>\n

The AcCellerate skin rejuvenation system is a patent-protected process that revolutionizes skin resurfacing by combining it with the most promising applications of stem-cell rejuvenation.\u00a0 It works by isolating stem cells from the tissue harvested during a patient\u2019s liposuction procedure.\u00a0 The patient then undergoes a laser skin resurfacing<\/a> procedure that effectively removes the outermost layers of the stratum corneum and leaves the inner dermis exposed.\u00a0 A concentrated serum composed of the patient\u2019s own active stem cells and growth factors is then immediately reapplied to the exposed dermis.\u00a0 Stem cells taken from the patient\u2019s own body are safer and far more effective than similar cells taken from other sources and can potentially achieve excellent long term results.\u00a0 Moreover, the patient can also enjoy the added benefit of liposuction<\/a> to remove unwanted fat.\u00a0 Look for more information about the development of this exciting new technique in the coming months.<\/p>\n
