At Wildflower MediSpa, we offer a variety of injectables for the face. From popular injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers to natural options, including stem cells and PRF, at Wildflower MediSpa, we have something for everyone to achieve optimal dermal health and beauty.
What is stem cell therapy?
Providers at Wildflower MediSpa are extremely excited to offer regenerative skin care therapy through the direct application of human stem cells. We are currently one of the few medical spas in the country offering skin care with a true stem cell product. Most stem cell products offered by other institutions will have a low concentration of stem cells, such as platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin, or even plant stem cells. The product that we use is created specifically for its high concentration of stem cells.
Stem cells are naturally occurring cells found throughout our body. The stem cells used at Wildflower MediSpa are mesenchymal stem cells collected from the Wharton’s jelly within the umbilical cord following a live birth. These donor stem cells are extremely potent and can provide an effective and safe skin care product with unparalleled regenerative strength. In an effort to allow the stem cells to adequately penetrate into the skin region that is being treated, the skin should undergo prior treatment with a salt facial, micro-needling, IPL or plasma therapy. These cells can also be directly injected into skin that is severely affected.
How does stem cell therapy work?
Stem cells are cells that are undifferentiated, meaning the cells do not know what type of tissue they will eventually become. What determines the tissue type that the stem cell becomes is dependent on where the stem cells are placed. When stem cells are placed into areas of damage to skin, they create a local region of tissue healing, causing drastic reduction in underlying tissue damage to reveal a more healthy and full appearance to the skin.
What conditions do stem cells treat?
Stem cells can be used to treat wrinkles, tighten skin and diminish scarring. Stem cells can also be used for specific areas such as under the eyes, on the backs of the hands, along the neck and on stretch marks.
What is PRF therapy?
PRF is a completely natural product created from your own body and can be used to enhance many of our exciting skin care treatment options. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used for many years in aesthetic medicine, and PRF has been found to be a more advanced and effective product. Its use ranges from assistance in healing damaged tissue (such as cartilage, tendon and muscle) to aesthetic medicine, such as hair growth and improving skin appearance. PRF has become a widely recognized treatment option in the medical spa world, offering a natural and effective way to enhance skin texture and appearance. In an effort to allow PRF to adequately penetrate into the skin region that is being treated, the skin should undergo prior treatment with either a salt facial, micro-needling, IPL or plasma therapy.
How does PRF therapy work?
Platelet-rich fibrin is made up of both a high concentration of platelets and growth factors (GF), as well as a lower concentration of white blood cells and stem cells. This high concentration of platelets and GF mimics the initial stages of inflammation that naturally occur in the body around areas of damaged tissue as the body prepares to heal the tissue. In reproducing these conditions around a specific area of skin, a complex cascade of events begins, which stimulates cells that can repair the skin and suppresses cells that cause further damage, thus enhancing repair and minimizing breakdown. This leads to accelerated tissue healing, a faster recovery and a reduction in recurrence of degeneration.
What conditions does PRF therapy treat?
PRF can be used to treat wrinkles, even out skin discoloration, tighten skin and diminish scarring. PRF can also be used for specific areas, such as under the eyes, on the back of the hands, along the neck and on stretch marks. Furthermore, PRF can be used for hair loss disorders–to stimulate dormant hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth in male alopecia.
If PRF therapy is pursued for facial care, the platelet product can be applied to the entire face topically and can also be injected directly into more affected areas. The following locations can be directly injected: forehead creases, frown lines, crow’s feet, smile lines (between the nose and outer lips), vertical lip lines, marionette lines and chin creases.
What are neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are medications that are used in the world of aesthetic medicine in an effort to diminish the activity of facial muscles and decrease skin lines and wrinkles. The most common neuromodulator is Botox. This medication can be injected directly through the skin and into specific muscles within the face to diminish wrinkles and fine lines within the skin.
In addition to the aesthetic use of Botox, this product may be used to treat hyperhydrosis of the axilla, also known as excessive sweating of the armpit. For individuals who suffer from excessive sweating of the armpits, Botox can be injected into the armpit region and greatly reduce the amount of sweat that is produced in the region.
How long do results last following treatment with neuromodulators?
The average patient treated with Botox appreciates results for approximately 3 months.
What are dermal fillers?
Injected fillers have become extremely popular treatment options to add volume to the aging face. Adding filler products into fine lines and wrinkles of the skin has now become a mainstay for facial rejuvenation.
At Wildflower Medispa, we use the dermal fillers in the Juvederm line of products. For intradermal injections, practitioners at Wildflower Medispa use the newest needle technology available, Dermasculpt needles, which have a blunt tip. These needles are much safer to use and allow easier tracking underneath the skin to more effectively fill in skin wrinkles and fine lines.
How long do the results last following treatment with dermal fillers?
How long a dermal filler provides results completely depends on what dermal filler is used. Typically, the average dermal filler can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. It is expected that you will have to repeat injections of dermal filler over time to maintain desired results.
