Cell therapy, the science of harnessing and using the body’s own healing and reparative properties, is the latest development in youth-enhancing technology. Known for over 30 years to stimulate healthy tissue and bone repair after injury, the technique is now being applied to heal and correct the damage of time and environmental factors to the face and body.
Collagen Induction Therapy treatments get its name from its use of collagen induction techniques and the use of natural growth factors, which is extracted gently from a patient’s own blood. Typically, after injury, these cells are stimulated to begin rebuilding lost tissues. In the case of face treatments, the cells are reintroduced to the treatment area to stimulate and produce new collagen growth for up to eighteen months. Juvederm®, the world’s most popular dermal filler from Allergan, is used in concert with Collagen Induction Therapy to provide instant results and bridge the gap between the initial treatment and the result. The process for face treatments is similar but doesn’t include injections to treat lost volume, it concentrates to improve and enhance the skin. It has been used to treat acne scars, wounds, skin irregularities, etc.
Collagen Induction Therapy can provide a youthful appearance to the hands, which is highly recommended to coincide with facial rejuvenation.
Hair Restoration Treatments
A wide range of elements—including heredity, stress, illness, medical treatment, and nutritional issues—can lead to unwanted conditions of thinning hair and hair loss. For example, according to the American Academy of Dermatologists, 40% of women experience thinning hair because of menopause, and one in four women is predisposed to hereditary hair loss. And according to the American Hair Loss Association, two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss by the age of 35, and by the age of 50, approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair.
The Hair Boost procedure combines a proprietary vitamin complex with growth factor transfer, micro-needling, and Growth Factor Therapy to stimulate new growth, enhance existing hair follicles and hair density and prevent shedding.
Best performed in thinning areas, the treatment can also achieve a degree of new growth where hair is missing completely. Prior to the treatment, the patient undergoes a three-to-four-month regimen of nutritional supplements designed to prepare the hair and scalp for optimum results. The in-office protocol itself includes four key steps:
- Vitamin Boost. A special Vitamin D and B complex is injected into the site to nourish the cellular structure.
- Boost. The patient’s own blood is refined to produce growth factors that are injected into the site to increase the production of new blood cells in the hair follicles.
- Micro-needling. Finally, tiny needles, no larger than a hair’s width, are inserted into the site to speed up blood circulation, reduce the “resting” phase of the hair follicle and put those follicles on notice that it’s time to get busy!
