Laser Resurfacing vs Regenerative Fat Grafting
As we age, our dermis thins, facial skin loosens, and wrinkles develop. There are several alternatives to treat the aging face. If a patient is not interested in a face lift, but wants a long lasting result, the two alternatives are:
- laser resurfacing
- regenerative fat grafts
What is the difference between these two techniques? A LOT! In summary, laser resurfacing technologies destroy tissue (which the body repairs), while fat grafting (fat injections) builds up and regenerates tissues. Most lasers shoot a high energy beam which vaporizes cells, whereas fat grafting techniques mobilize teams of repair cells to bring more blood supply and nutrients to your face.
I believe that stem cell enhanced fat grafting offers an advantage to lasers currently being used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists. Fat grafts are the most natural way to get a long lasting youthful rejuvenation of your face. Fat grafting is your own Fountain of Youth.
How do lasers work to tighten the skin?
With laser, a beam of energy is used to obliterate layers in the epidermis and dermis beneath your skin. The cells in those layers are totally vaporized. Once that layer has been destroyed the body sends a signal to repair. Your body repairs the tissue by forming a scar (or “building collagen”) in the destroyed tissue layer. The scar Read More
