Isolagen - Information and What Process it Involves

Isolagen is a totally new technique in facial rejuvenation that offers patients real, long-lasting improvements without the risks associated with some cosmetic treatments. It is the first and only natural process to use patients' own collagen producing cells, fibroblasts, to repair and rejuvenate the skin, producing long lasting therapeutic correction of dermal deficiencies. Isolagen restores skin's natural elasticity and provides a natural foundation for long-lasting beautiful skin.

Isolagen represents a highly significant advance in the long-term reduction of facial lines, wrinkles and scars for both men and women.

It is the only process which actually replenishes your skin with new and vibrant living cells. Isolagen is safe and has proven to be one of the longest lasting treatments available today for facial lines, wrinkles, scars and acne scarring.

Isolagen enables patients' own cells to be grown and reintroduced into the skin in sufficient quantity to correct defects. A small skin sample is taken from behind the patient's ear, which is sent to the Isolagen Cellular Facility where the fibroblasts are grown to large numbers.

With Isolagen, it is now possible to use your own skin cells to repair defects in the skin's dermis. Isolagen treatments are derived from your own skin and are long lasting as opposed to bovine collagen that fully dissolves over time.

Isolagen Process:

Isolagen's patented autologous living cell therapy, or ACS, begins with the injection of a local anesthetic to numb a small section of skin behind the ear. This area was chosen because of its vascularity, lack of sun exposure, and the invisibility of any scarring.

Isolagen harvests and isolates your collagen producing cells called fibroblasts, which may strengthen and rebuild your skin. It can result in smoother looking skin, improved texture, tone and resiliency.

A simple punch biopsy is used to obtain a small 3 mm piece of skin tissue, which is packed in an appropriate container and shipped overnight to the Isolagen laboratories. The minimal incision is closed with an adhesive or single absorbable suture.

At Isolagen, the tissue is cultured utilizing Isolagen's patented ACS process. This process separates collagen-producing cells called fibroblasts, from the rest of the tissue then stimulates them to multiply into tens of millions of new cells.

Isolagen is a revolutionary, anti-ageing, self restoration therapy, that utilises your own living cells to restore and repair the effects of ageing and injury which result in lines, wrinkles and scars.
