Regenerative Facial

Our regenerative facials at South Shore Plastic Surgery are minimally invasive and nonsurgical cosmetic treatments that rejuvenate the skin and reverse early signs of aging by injecting your own blood directly into the dermis layer of your skin. These healing treatments have been used successfully for decades in the medical community to promote faster healing and reduce inflammation in common sports injuries and orthopedic conditions. Now, these same benefits are being applied to the skin to improve the quality, texture and appearance of your complexion from the inside out with minimal side effects and downtime.

How Do Regenerative Facials Work?

The blood found in your body is primarily made up of plasma, which is the liquid component of blood that is rich in nutrients, red and white blood cells and platelets. Platelets play an essential role in helping the blood to clot when you sustain a cut or injury. They also contain proteins that are critical for stimulating new tissue growth, reducing inflammation and promoting overall healing. Our rejuvenating facial is a proven regenerative treatment we use to separate the plasma from your blood and inject it directly into your skin at the source of your concerns to improve and reduce their appearance from within.

The first step in a facial rejuvenation treatment is to collect a small sample of blood from your arm, similar to when you receive a routine blood test at the doctor’s office. The collected blood is then spun in a machine known as a centrifuge to isolate the plasma from your blood’s other components. Once the blood has been separated and the growth factor serum has been isolated, the treated areas of your skin will be numbed with a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. The serum is then strategically injected into your treatment areas for deep tissue infusion, where it begins to promote new collagen production and generate new cells to repair your skin gradually over time.

What Concerns Can Growth Factor Serum Treat?

A regenerative facial is an ideal treatment that offers dramatic, long-lasting results for several common skin concerns and blemishes. Some of the concerns that may be improved with a plasma facial include:

• Acne scars and active acne
• Age spots or sun spots
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Large pores
• Necklines
• Reduced skin elasticity
• Volume loss
• Uneven skin tone and texture

After a series of treatments, collagen production is reinvigorated within the skin, leading to a smoother, softer and more youthful complexion. During your initial consultation, Dr. Vasisht will help you determine the optimal number of face rejuvenation treatments required to achieve the most optimal results for your goals and concerns.

Why Choose Facial Rejuvenation? 

While rejuvenating facials can treat signs of aging, there is unfortunately very little people can do to prevent them from occurring entirely. For example, the concerns associated with age (wrinkles, fine lines, folds, etc.) are going to happen at some point in a person’s life. You may be able to delay the inevitable, but you can never prevent it.

One of the less welcome effects of aging is that the body slowly produces less collagen over time. After the age of 20, it is estimated that we lose about 1% of our collagen production each year. Collagen is the most important foundational component of healthy, taut skin. When it goes, wrinkles and sagging are going to happen.

Other concerns are often linked to environmental causes. Acne, for example, can be caused by surface contaminants or pollutants in the air. Sunspots and many textural concerns are directly linked to sun exposure, and wrinkles can be more pronounced with repeated sun exposure. These environmental factors cannot be avoided entirely, but some steps can be taken to keep your skin healthy.

Skin rejuvenation offers patients a chance to improve their skin even after they have developed sun spots, wrinkles, acne scars, and more. Because our treatments are autologous, meaning they are derived from your own body, there is less risk of negative reactions. You can enjoy a natural facial rejuvenation treatment with regenerative benefits. 

Am I a Candidate for Regenerative Facials?

As long as you do not have any serious underlying conditions that can make poor scarring or excess bleeding a concern, you are likely going to be a candidate for skin rejuvenation if you have any of the previously mentioned conditions.

Make sure to share your medical history with your physician to ensure they have a full idea of any potential speed bumps in the process. Even if growth factor injections aren’t the best choice for you, our team at South Shore can help you find a good alternative.

How Should I Prepare for Regenerative Facials?

There is no lengthy preparation process you need to worry about when scheduling your regenerative treatment. Come as you are, and wear something comfortable. But we do recommend that you avoid sun damage and other deep facial treatments to make sure no unnecessary discomfort is added to your experience. You can also arrive with clean skin that is ready for your growth factor serum. 

Can I Combine Growth Factor Treatments with Other Procedures?

Growth factor facials can be combined with a host of other nonsurgical procedures to develop a powerful treatment plan. Some of the most commonly combined treatments are Botox®, chemical peels, HydraFacial®, Jeuveau®, laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion and microneedling.

If you are interested in combining procedures, let us know during your consultation. We will help you figure out a precise treatment plan that will achieve all of your goals.

How Much Does Aesthetic Skin Care Cost?

Regenerative facials have some flexibility in cost because of the many different factors that go into it, like location, combination procedures, the amount of correction being made and your specific aesthetic goals. We will provide a detailed estimate during your consultation. 

What Should I Expect From the Recovery and Results?

As a minimally invasive treatment, a regenerative facial has few side effects associated with the procedure. Patients may experience some mild swelling and redness following their facial, but these symptoms will usually subside within 24 hours of the treatment. Because the injections will only use the components found in your blood, you will avoid the adverse side effects that often accompany synthetic rejuvenating solutions or more invasive cosmetic procedures.

You should expect to start seeing the results of your facial in about three to four weeks, depending on how quickly your body responds to the treatment. Within a month, you should see noticeable improvements to early signs of aging, blemishes and scarring as well as improved skin tone and texture. While natural collagen production will continue for as many as three months after your treatment, the results of your regenerative treatments can be enjoyed for up to a full year.
