Isolagen
What is the Isolagen Treatment?
Isolagen is the most revolutionary anti-ageing treatment available. Isolagen harvests, isolates and harnesses the power of your own, most vibrant collagen producing cells -- called fibroblasts -- to strengthen and rebuild your skin's natural foundation. It results in smoother skin, improved texture, tone and resiliency. You naturally get younger and fresher skin.
How does it work?
Your physician will take a small piece of skin tissue from behind your ear under local anaesthetic at the clinic. Your tissue biopsy is then specially packaged and sent off to the Isolagen laboratory where your collagen-producing cells (fibroblasts) are grown and extracted.
The strongest and most energetic cells divide into millions of new living fibroblasts. After about ten weeks these cells have reached a population of tens of millions of new fibroblasts and are ready to be injected into your skin. Once injected, the fibroblasts integrate and start laying down new collagen. Repair to the damaged foundation of your skin is initiated by replacing the missing cells with the addition of your own cells where the wrinkles and depressions have formed. This smoothes out your skin and enhances your appearance.
How long does the procedure take?
Once your biopsy has been taken and the cells are ready to be injected, you will need to be treated in two sessions. The first injection session will take approximately one hour. Typically, the second injection session is scheduled 30-45 days later. In most patients, results will progressively improve for 18-24 months and should last for several years. The body naturally accepts these new fibroblasts into its cellular matrix. New life and support is breathed back into your skin.
Why Choose Isolagen?
The Isolagen process is the first in the world to harness the power of your own skin cells. A proven therapy for improving smile and lip lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), vertical lines around the lips, acne and chicken pox scars, frown and forehead lines, neck lines and full face rejuvenation. The Isolagen cell storage bank provides the ability to keep your younger cells available for the future.
Is the procedure painful?
A local or topical anaesthetic is given to minimise any discomfort during the biopsy & treatment injections. Once the anaesthetic wears off (approx. 3hrs) there could be some mild irritation, but nothing noticeable.
Will I need to take time off work to have the treatment?
This is similar to other cosmetic injections and the patient may experience a few red markings which will self correct within 24 hours, and make-up can be applied for covering up in the interim.
How much does the treatment cost?
The Isolagen treatment starts at £2500.00
