Regenerative Volume Restoration With Cellenis Derma
Facial volume loss is a natural part of the aging process, and it can be accelerated by certain lifestyle choices, which can leave patients with sagging skin, a hollowed appearance or wrinkles that appear more pronounced.
Fortunately, today’s non-surgical treatment options can provide patients with natural-looking results. Cellenis Derma is a plasma-based volumizing treatment derived from the patient's own blood, making it a highly biocompatible alternative to synthetic fillers and fat grafting.
This versatile procedure provides subtle facial rejuvenation and mild contouring of other areas, including the buttocks, hands, feet and earlobes. Patients appreciate that results can be visible immediately, and the treatment also promotes regenerative benefits that build over time.
What is Cellenis Derma?
Cellenis Derma is an autologous filler created from the patient's plasma through a proprietary heating and cooling process. The filler is injected into targeted areas to restore soft tissue loss. Cellenis Derma promotes collagen regeneration, giving patients lasting benefits over time.
This volumizing treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who lack sufficient fat for fat grafting but are interested in safe, natural volume solutions. Like other non-surgical volume restoration treatments, results typically last 8 and 18 months, depending on the treatment area.
How It Compares to Filler or Sculptra
Cellenis Derma is a safe and effective procedure comparable with other non-surgical injectable filler treatments. It is often compared to Sculptra because it works to build collagen and improve volume gradually after treatment.
"Cellenis Derma is similar to Sculptra in that it builds volume over time, but it’s derived from your own body," explained Dr. Christopher Schaffer. "Unlike HA fillers, which instantly plump and can be reversed, this stimulates your tissue to regenerate — so the results are gradual but natural."
With a lower risk of instant overfilling and migration, Cellenis Derma is an excellent alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers. It is also completely biocompatible, appealing to patients who prefer a natural volumizing treatment option without the use of synthetic materials.
Patients who require larger volume corrections will also find that this treatment is a more cost-effective option, as fewer treatments and products are needed to achieve the desired results.
"It’s a great option for patients who don’t have enough fat for fat grafting but need volume," noted Dr. Schaffer. "Using multiple syringes of traditional filler for large areas would be extremely costly, but this gives us a biocompatible alternative."
What Areas Can Be Treated?
While Cellenis Derma is commonly used to restore facial volume, it is a versatile treatment that can be applied to several different areas of the body.
The areas that are typically treated include:
- Face — Commonly treated areas include cheeks, temples, tear troughs, jawline or pre-jowl sulcus.
- Body — Mild contouring may be achieved in the buttocks, hip dips, hands and the top of feet.
- Earlobes — Treatment can offer subtle volume restoration for aging or stretched lobes.
While other procedures offer gradual volume restoration over time, this treatment provides immediate volume improvement. Additionally, tissue quality enhancements develop gradually as the treatment stimulates collagen production.
"Temple hollowing, jawline definition, pre-jowl sulcus filling — these are places where this treatment really shines because we're rebuilding soft volume in a way that's subtle and natural."
Dr. Schaffer.
What to Expect From the Procedure
This non-surgical procedure is performed in one office visit, providing patients with immediate results without extensive downtime. During the procedure, Dr. Schaffer and his team perform a blood draw, plasma processing and injection. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising immediately following the procedure, but most return to normal activities relatively quickly.
Dr. Schaffer provides individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique health history and personal goals. For facial hollowing, most patients benefit from a single treatment. However, for volume restoration in larger areas, a series may be recommended. Dr. Schaffer will work closely with you to create the treatment plan that best meets your needs.
Immediately following the injection, patients typically notice volume restoration. Regenerative effects will continue as collagen rebuilds in the targeted area. The longevity of the results may vary, depending on your metabolism and the treatment areas. Most patients find that results last for 8 to 18 months.
