In-Depth Skincare treatment: Aeterna Health

Aeterna Health's Stem Cell (svCell) Application is a cutting-edge therapy that utilizes live cell clusters to promote healing and rejuvenation. By leveraging the regenerative properties of stem cells, svCell therapies aim to enhance tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health and vitality.

How Stem Cell（svCell）Works for Skin Rejuvenation & Age-Defying？

The skin, composed of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat layers, acts as a crucial protective barrier against environmental factors. Efficient wound healing and epithelial cell proliferation are vital to restoring this barrier function, essential for survival. Evidence shows that resident epithelial stem cells in adult skin are key to driving the re-epithelialization process.

svCell harnesses the regenerative properties of these stem cells to enhance collagen production, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. This process not only restores the skin's barrier function but also results in a youthful and radiant complexion, effectively rejuvenating the skin and adding life to life.

Benefits of svCell Skin Rejuvenation & Age-Defying

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Achieve smoother, younger-looking skin.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Experience an even and glowing complexion.
Enhances Collagen Production: Boost skin elasticity and firmness.
Long-lasting Results: Enjoy enduring improvements in skin health and appearance.

Is svCell Right for You?

svCell is ideal for individuals who desire natural-looking rejuvenation without the risks of invasive procedures. This therapy is suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages, making it a versatile option for many. Specifically, svCell is beneficial for:

Aging Skin: Those experiencing fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity can see significant improvements.
Sun Damage: Individuals with sun-damaged skin can benefit from enhanced collagen production and tissue repair.
Uneven Skin Tone and Texture: svCell helps in evening out skin tone and improving texture for a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Early Signs of Aging: Younger individuals showing early signs of aging can use svCell as a preventive measure to maintain youthful skin.
Post-Procedural Recovery: It’s also an excellent option for those looking to enhance and speed up recovery after other skin treatments.

This minimally invasive treatment is particularly suited for those seeking a safe and effective solution to improve their skin's overall health and appearance, without the downtime associated with more aggressive procedures.

Technical Advantages of Stem Cell (svCell) Therapy

svCell therapy, is an Australian patented biotechnology process, that has been used as a complementary approach to treat osteoarthritis in Australia and the United States for many years.

The potential benefits of using svCell therapy in the clinical treatment of osteoarthritis in Australia include:

as the svCell ultrasonic cavitation process uses a person’s own cells, there is a reduced risk of infection or disease transmission;

as the svCell concentration process does not culture cells, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.

svCell therapy has the potential for therapeutic advantage as it contains a mix of regenerative cells, with some scientific research suggesting that this mixed cell population may provide superior treatment.

Is the Stem Cell（svCell）therapy safe?

Autologous adipose-derived svCell therapy has a reduced risk of adverse reactions or serious side effects.

As the treatment is autologous, with the svCell regenerative cells derived from the patient’s own body, there is a lower risk of infection or disease transmission. Using the patient’s own, uncultured cells reduces potential risks and complications as associated with rejection and allergic reactions.

The ultrasonic cavitation concentration process does not use any enzymes or animal products.. Within a relatively short period of time, potentially within 4 hours, the patient’s cells are concentrated and injected. As a result, there is a reduced chance of infection, disease transmission, bacterial contamination, or allergic reaction.

Over the last 12 years, there has been a body of evidence in peer-reviewed scientific literature supporting the safety of svCell in the treatment of osteoarthritis for knee and hip disease.

What is involved in a StemCell（svCell ）therapy procedure?

The svCell therapy procedure involves removing adipose (fat) tissue from the patient’s abdomen, concentrating a mixture of cells, and then re-injecting the cell concentration into the patient’s painful joint(s).

In Australia svCell therapy procedures must be conducted within an accredited hospital setting under medical supervision with patient’s admitted to the hospital as a day surgery patient. The procedure is usually completed within 4 hours after which the patient may go home.

Preparation

Patients taking Aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications (such as Voltaren and Mobic), corticosteroids, or herbal medications (e.g., Krill oil, fish oil, Vitamin E, and Ginkho Biloba) are advised that these must be discontinued at least 10 days before the procedure, according to standard hospital admission instructions. Those patients taking aspirin (Cartia, etc.), clopidogrel (Plavix or Iscover), warfarin, or anticoagulants for a heart condition or stroke prevention, would be provided specific information by their own doctor on when to stop and restart these medications.

Removal of adipose tissue

Patients receive oral sedation, and local anesthetic, and may be prescribed an antibiotic to reduce the risk of infection and are expected to be comfortable, and relatively pain-free.

A syringe or miniliposuction method is used to extract 60-300ml of adipose (fat) tissue from the patient’s abdomen, as that is all that is required. The amount of fat consumed will be determined by the number of joints to be treated. The treating doctor will explain the method of fat extraction to be used prior to the procedure. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, no stitches are usually needed.

Collect regenerative cells

Following adipose tissue removal, a sterile laboratory technician immediately performs the svCell ultrasonic cavitation process to concentrate the patient’s regenerative cells. A flow cytometer is used to count cells and viability and determine the best dosage for the injection of svCell concentrate.

Injection

The injection site is prepared in advance. A Doctor will then inject the svCells into the joint(s).

Where necessary, ultrasound guidance can be used to guide needle placement.

After the injection, patients are monitored for 1 hour before being released to go home.
