It is a widely accepted tenet of aesthetic medicine that, in order to stimulate new collagen formation in the skin, we have to injure the skin. The injury turns on healing mechanisms, including stimulating the cells that make scar tissue to make collagen. For many years, the focus was on using whatever modality (laser, radiofrequency, [...]
Exosomes are going to change everything. In fact, I think exosomes could rewrite human life expectancy within my lifetime! I am pleased to announce that we now have exosomes here at Advanced Rejuvenation! What are exosomes? Exosomes are little packets containing growth factors, cytokines and other peptides, lipids, and pieces of RNA. These packets are [...]

This approach might work for a younger woman who has generally good skin and good volume in her face but for most people, the results were lackluster. Early techniques I found this picture on the internet and [...]
"Are you tired?" "What are you so mad about?" "You look sad today." How often do you hear questions like that and think "I'm not tired" "I'm not mad about anything" "I feel fine" ?
