Stem Cell Therapy – Skin Injections

As we age, the number of stem cells decreases, making it more difficult for our body to repair itself. Giving your face a boost of stem cells helps repair the damage. And with the skin being the largest organ in the body, is a prime candidate for this type of therapy. Aside from IV infusion, another way of delivering stem cells is through skin injections. As the name suggests, prepared and incubated stem cells are withdrawn using a large syringe and injected at the site of damage. It is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure where stem cells are injected into a localized skin area to enhance its appearance. This all-natural technique combines dermal injections of stem cells derived from the umbilical cord, bone marrow, or adipose tissue. It is often supplemented with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), an innovative way to reverse the signs of aging.

Through this type of stem cell therapy, concentrated stem cells will be transplanted into the dermis layer of areas that needs rejuvenation. The stem cells injected into the dermis will, in turn, help in synthesizing collagen and elastin to recover what was once lost. Through stem cell skin injections, a natural skin texture will be achieved. It will fill hollow areas and help revitalize the skin to a smoother and youthful appearance.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) + Stem Cell Injection

PRP is short for Platelet Rich Plasma, a new skin regeneration technology. It can rejuvenate your skin most naturally. It treats fine lines and wrinkles and gives volume to the face by purely using the body’s own blood. Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a mix of serum and platelets. They help bring in new blood vessels to ensure that the body gets more blood to the area to heal correctly. They are an excellent way to kick start healing for a variety of parts of the body.

Instead of chemically containing injectables, PRP is collected from the plasma of the patient’s own blood and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than the average number of platelets and is called platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, and will be injected into the patient’s skin via micro-needling. Using your own blood means that adverse reactions are practically non-existent.

It is often combined with Stem Cells Injections as it enhances their benefits and ensures that the cells stay longer in the body to continue rejuvenating and restoring damaged cells.

Precautions and Preparation before Stem Cell Skin Injections

At AMOA640, our doctors will perform an evaluation and devise a treatment plan customized just for you. However, patients must practice a few precautions before undergoing stem cell injection. As the procedure involves withdrawing your blood to extract the stem cells and PRP, you must prep your body for the treatment so the results can be much more effective. Here are a few precautions to look out for and tips that will guide you on preparing before getting stem cell injections.

You must not take anti-inflammatory medications such as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) and steroids a week before your treatment. These medicines can interfere with the natural anti-inflammatory process of your body and can render the treatment less effective.
Go Organic. Reduce your alcohol consumption and lessen calories in your diet. This can help detoxify your body from harmful chemicals and substances.
Aside from changing your diet, you can opt to receive a Glutathione IV therapy to detoxify your body thoroughly.
Water therapy is essential too. Drink about 8 glasses of water 1-2 days before your procedure and 4 glasses of water 45 minutes to 1 hour before your procedure. This can keep your body hydrated and provide an easy treatment administration.

The stem cell procedure for skin rejuvenation is simple and can be performed under local anesthesia. It is relatively painless, and patients experience minimal discomfort. The entire procedure time, including withdrawing and processing your blood, ranges from 45-90 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is recommended to undergo Stem Cell Skin Injections?

Stem Cell Skin Injections are ideal for those with early or mild signs of facial aging who want to rejuvenate their skin without going under the knife. The treatment is perfect for those who want to eliminate their wrinkles, more defined cheekbones, or those who want to get rid of other early or moderate signs of aging. It is also possible for those with sensitive skin.

What is the difference between Stem Cell IV Therapy and Skin Injection?

How long will the treatment last?

After 2-3 weeks, visible results can be seen. The duration of the effect may depend on each individual. It can last for 6 months to 1 year or even 5-10 years as stem cells are known for their longevity and restoration to newer cells.

Are there any side effects after the treatment?

Side effects are uncommon as we use your own blood to extract stem cells for your treatment. Although you may experience some swelling and redness on your face at the injection site, that will go down in time.
