Skin regenerating system - MyCells
What is MyCells?
MyCells is a revolutionary method, based on using ingredients of your own blood, which can regenerate your skin. These ingredients reside within the fraction of your blood named "Platelet Rich Plasma" (PRP). PRP is enriched with platelets, stem cells and growth factors. Once injected into your skin, these substances will accelerate the normal healing process via new collagen formation at the injected area. This process brings to long lasting tissue rejuvenation by your own cells. PRP has been widely used for many years in plastic surgery, orthopedics, dentistry, soft tissue implants, and other types of implants.

Are the results from MyCells immediate?
No. At your first treatment visit, it may appear that MyCells worked immediately because of swelling from the watery ingredients of your plasma. In a few days, when the swelling goes down and the water is absorbed by your body, you may look as you did before your treatment. MyCells takes time to gradually correct the depression in your skin. Your healthcare provider will see you again in a few weeks to decide if you need more MyCells injections.

Do injections of MyCells hurt?
As with any injection, injections with MyCells may hurt. MyCells is injected in small amounts using a very fine needle. Your healthcare provider may apply a topical or local anesthetic.
