"I Rejuvenated My Face with My Own Stem Cells" - Io Donna

An expert-patient describes how fat from her knees rejuvenated her.

"Friday morning in late May: I'm (anxiously) waiting to undergo the revolutionary treatment that will rejuvenate me using my stem cells, and I seriously ask myself: 'What am I doing here?' Here comes the nurse: 'Stem cells, right? Can you fill out this form?' The fear intensifies. They must see it in my eyes as now a doctor appears with a syringe and relaxant. 'You'll feel better afterward,' he reassures. 'Wasn't this supposed to be a minor procedure, like a filler?' I ask, regretful but now past the point of no return. 'Don't worry, it will be very quick,' they respond, chuckling."

They chuckle while I'm about to have fat extracted that will undergo some special processing ('It's my discovery, I'm patenting it,' explained Carlo Tremolada, a Milan-based plastic surgeon conducting this research at the University of Miami with researcher Camillo Ricordi) specifically to extract the maximum number of effective and intelligent stem cells to be injected into my face. Objective: achieve regenerative rejuvenation.

The Lipogems technology used in this treatment preserves the natural structure of adipose tissue and its vascular network, ensuring enhanced survival of mesenchymal stem cells and optimal integration at the injection site. This regenerative approach harnesses the natural potential of one's own adipose tissue to stimulate tissue regeneration and cutaneous rejuvenation.
