Anti-Aging
our areas of focus
Aging is inevitable, but if you’re feeling like your outward appearance doesn’t match the youthful inner you, Regenerative therapies might be a perfect option for tapping into your body’s aging center and turning the clock back. At Axis Stem Cell Institute, we can help you explore your anti-aging options using aesthetic stem cell therapy
What is Aging?
At its core, aging is the process in which the body’s regenerative functions begin to slow down. When you’re young, your body regularly regenerates new healthy cells and proteins that keep the skin looking young. As you age, this process begins to slow down. It’s also normal for the supportive soft tissues throughout the body to break down, like collagen. We can attribute these processes to many of the normal occurrences we experience with aging like slower healing, reduced bone and muscle mass, reduced flexibility, toxic exposures, and trauma.
What Causes Aging Signs?
Aging signs like fine lines and wrinkles form as the skin loses its youthful elasticity due to the breakdown of proteins like collagen and elastin. This causes the skin to begin to sag and fold on itself, creating a lackluster matted appearance to the skin. We recognize these signs as aging.
Other causes of visible aging include oxidative stress and toxic exposure, a process that occurs when the body is exposed to environmental stressors like sunlight or pollution. When exposed, molecules called free radicals can damage the body and cause it to prematurely age. This can produce visible effects on the skin including age spots and texture.
How Can Stem Cells Help Signs of Aging?
Stem cells can be given via IV for systemic anti-aging or by injection and microneedling subdermally into the skin to help reverse aging. This is done by boosting your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. By accessing this soft tissue layer, the stem cells have the ability to increase angiogenesis or blood flow to the area, helping to flush out toxins. Stem cells can also help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars by allowing for a more efficient healing process when injected and microneedled into the damaged tissue. By pairing your body’s own stem cells and growth factors with your skin’s inherent wound-healing response, your skin can be rejuvenated and its quality improved. It can also be used for aging prevention and skin rejuvenation for younger patients. There are also many peptides available that help with the improvement in the appearance of the skin and antiaging at the cell level for a full body response. After completing a session at either our Kirkland or St. Petersburg location, many patients see a noticeable improvement in aging signs like wrinkles, skin laxity, and dullness.
Stem Cell Therapy for Aging Signs
Anti-aging stem cell therapy involves taking your own tissue and processing it down into its most potent form. When this biologic is introduced into the skin, it can boost collagen growth to rebuild the supportive matrix under the skin. Over time, this can help to achieve a more youthful glow. Stem cell therapy is an outpatient procedure performed at our two locations, meaning you can return home the same day. During a consultation, our stem cell experts will help you develop a personalized anti-aging plan for your goals.
