John Satino is passionate about so many new technologies in the cosmetic industry. Healing our bodies comes from within. DNA and Stem Cells are natural ingredients from our bodies that can make us look younger, feel healthier, repair injuries, and potentially solve our own “problems”. Biomedical Engineering is not a new science: pacemakers and organ transplants were some of its earliest successes. Today we have so many aesthetic uses for stem cells that even Dolly the cloned sheep seems like centuries-old news.
Health and Wellness Magazine was pleased it sit down with NASA consultant John Satino and discuss his 2012 discovery of Stem Cell Face Lifts. Human plasma proteins combined with platelet-rich plasma sounds fascinating but wait until you see the results.
Health and Wellness Magazine asked: Mr. Santino, how can the Stem Cell Face Lift change my life?
Mr. Santino: Up until now, you had one choice to combat the signs of aging, and that was surgery. Beyond the out-of-pocket cost of a traditional facelift, there is risk and an extended recovery time. And it’s possible that after the surgery, you end up looking like your face was in a wind tunnel at a hundred miles per hour for an extended period of time.
Thinner, older, tightly stretched skin can look very unnatural. Our patients look totally natural, rested, and as if they had been on vacation. All with no downtime. Many say this new technology changes their lives. And the risk is undoubtedly less.
H&W: Tell the readers about a patient you have helped recover from an injury with this technology.
Mr. Santino: We have helped patients with facial irregularities such as a birth mark. Severe acne scarring can definitely be improved and corrected. Often a stroke can affect the face. In the case of a stroke, we can treat only the affected side of the face for a natural symmetrical correction.
H&W: How do stem cells reverse aging?
Mr. Santino: Stem Cells are the body’s growth factor. They are immortal. You produce stem cells for life from the bone marrow. Not as many at age eighty as at age twenty, but your body produces stem cells throughout your entire life.
For example, if you get a cut or injury, a signal is released to the bone marrow to release these growth factors. The stem cells travel through the blood system to the injury to promote healing. At the site of the injury, the stem cells help heal and develop bone, skin, blood, or specialized cells necessary for the body to heal itself.
Therefore, an injury heals very quickly when you are young due to the more plentiful number of stem cells available. These stem cells are not as plentiful as we age, and injuries take longer to heal. In compliance with current FDA rulings, we can extract body tissue, fat, or blood from your OWN body and concentrate it on a four-to-one basis in our lab. This means we are essentially reintroducing four times younger cells into the face. This leads to increased collagen, elastin and skin tightening in a very short time when we reintroduce your OWN stem cells back into your OWN body.
