11:27 10.05.2010Stem cells from you own body fat have the power to restore and renew the youthful appearance of the face and body. Traditional face lift procedures could not address the signs of aging on the hands and thefore hands become the "tell tale " sign of age. The stem Cell lifting procedure is the ideal way to correct that hallowed, skeletal, wrinkled skin on the hands to match the youthful and rested look of a stem cell face lift. Just as on the face, the volume and fatty cushion that is present beneath the skin of the hands is lost over time. This results in bony looking hands with undesirably producing veins under the skin. Sun exposure causes skin discoloration and wrinkles which also give an aged look to the hands.
The stem cell lift is a procedure that can be done under local anesthesia in a procedure room. A mini-liposuction procedure is done on any area of the body that the patient chooses to have excess fat removed. The stem cells found in this fat are then concentrated to increase the number of stem cells that will be injected to rejuvenate the hands. The stem cell enriched fat is then used to sculpt the hands using specially designed instruments The results are immediate. There is some swelling and soreness in areas treated that subside within days. It takes the newly introduced cells about 3 months to completely integrate into and become a natural part of the body area that they have been placed.
The advantages of Stem cell hand lift, is there is no risk of allergic reaction, no general anesthetic-local anesthesia is used, It gives one a refreshed but natural look rather than a tight, plastic appearance, There are no visible scars, and there is a quick recovery time.
