The treatment

What is stem cell body skin renewal?

Body skin ages differently from the face. Sun, friction, weight change and hormones lead to crepey texture, laxity, dullness and uneven tone on the neck, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs and hands.

The program delivers stem cell–derived signalling factors (exosome and conditioned-media boosters) through targeted micro-injections or microneedling. These stimulate collagen and elastin, calm low-grade inflammation and restore hydrated, resilient skin without heavy fillers or surgery. Optional IV support can aid recovery.

    • Choose priority zones and set photo and texture milestones
  2. Personalised plan

    • Booster by micro-injection or microneedling, with depth and density set per area
    • Optional pairing with RF microneedling, ultrasound tightening, peels or laser
    • Home care: barrier-first body care, SPF 50, urea or lactic acid as tolerated
  3. Treatment day

Safety

Safety & recovery

  • Screening first. Pregnancy, active infection, keloid tendency and isotretinoin use in the last 6 months are checked at consultation.
  • Downtime. Mild redness, swelling or pinpoint flaking. Most patients resume their routine the next day.
  • Timeline. An early glow within days; collagen-related change is reviewed at 8–12 weeks and beyond.
  • Combined care. We coordinate with your dermatologist or surgeon when devices or scar treatments are combined.

At home

A simple body-care routine

  • Daily SPF 50 on exposed areas, and UPF clothing outdoors
  • Barrier-first moisturisers with ceramides, urea or lactic acid as tolerated

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this like a surgical lift?

No. It improves skin quality through regeneration. It can complement device-based tightening or a surgical plan.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients start with 3–4 sessions per area, 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance is planned individually.

Will it help stretch marks?

Yes. It is often paired with our stretch mark repair protocol for deeper remodelling.

Is it suitable for darker skin tones?

Yes. Depth, energy and aftercare are adjusted to minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

How long is the downtime?

Expect pinkness or tenderness for 24–72 hours. Most patients return to normal activity the next day.
