Growing Your New Skin

Want the filler that is designed for you, because it is you? It may still be stuff of the future to think that we can grow ourselves new hearts, new kidneys, a new liver or even new bones. But there is an organ we can grow for ourselves: tissue filler! Although very new, relatively expensive, and only FDA approved for the treatment of deep lines in the area of your nasolabial folds, new tissue is able to be grown for your own use! Medically the use of your own tissue, an example might be saving blood for your own use later on, or using plasma extracts to heal joints, is called autologics. These cell implants for the use of facial rejuvenation are only the second FDA cell therapy approved. The new filler Azficel-T  is now approved for a 6 month facial treatment. The treatment has to be done by a trained physician, the treatment is relatively expensive, it’s not rapid as it takes 3 months to grow your own tissue supply, but it’s your tissue and the chances of rejection are as close to eliminated as possible with this treatment. So if you are considering fillers but haven’t wanted to use a foreign substance, this might just be for you!
