Overview

Botulinum Toxin A injections, such as Botox, relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Feature and Mechanism

Injected botox causes muscle relaxation and prevent contraction of the facial muscles that causes wrinkles. Overtime, the relaxed muscles will become smaller in size as well. The effect of Botox is not permanent, its effect slowly wears off after 4 to 6 months.

The first stage involves collection of 3 skin samples (specimens) from the Patient.

They are collected from the back of scalp as it is the least susceptible to androgenic alopecia. These samples are very small, measuring approx. 2.5 mm in diameter, so the collection site will heal spontaneously without leaving any visible traces on the skin.

2nd Stage

During the second stage, the collected material is placed into a special device, where suspension containing stem cells, growth factors and progenitor cells will be isolated.

3rd Stage

The last stage consists in injecting the scalp with the mixture in order to initiate the regenerative processes.
