M Kathryn Schaefer MD
Baby Face Treatment
Dr. Schaefer now offers the revolutionary Baby Face procedure. This cutting-edge treatment uses amniotic fluid derived from Wharton's jelly to rejuvenate your skin, stimulating collagen production resulting in the reduction of fine wrinkles, pores, and uneven complexion. The result? Glowing, youthful skin that looks natural and takes years off your appearance.
​
The Baby Face procedure involves injecting the amniotic fluid just below the skin's surface. This harnesses your body's own healing abilities of regeneration to stimulate collagen growth and strengthen elastin, leading to a more youthful and radiant complexion. Remarkably, the effects of this treatment can last for years after just a single session.

How does a Baby Face treatment work?
A Baby Face treatment operates in two stages. Initially, microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, a healing response that boosts the natural production of collagen and elastin. Next, growth-factor-rich amniotic fluid is delivered through the microchannels formed by microneedling, enhancing skin cell regeneration.
The amniotic fluid is packed with vital growth factors that promote the regeneration of normal tissues, encouraging cell proliferation and differentiation. Over time, it enhances collagen production, fortifies elastin, accelerates cell turnover, and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, leading to lasting rejuvenation.
You may notice an immediate increase in radiance, with benefits continuing to improve over several months as new collagen is produced. Research indicates that microneedling combined with amniotic fluid treatments, like the Baby Face treatment, can effectively address fine wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars.
While a single session offers benefits, studies suggest that a series of three-spaced treatments, followed by annual maintenance, yields the best results.
What to expect after a Baby Face treatment
Afterward, you’ll look and feel like you have a sunburn, perhaps accompanied by some mild bleeding and bruising. Your skin will be extra sensitive, so protect it from the sun and anything that might cause irritation for two to three days.
​
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and be diligent about applying sunscreen. Physical sunblocks that contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are less likely to irritate.
-
Go without makeup. Remember, your skin has tiny holes in it, so anything you apply could potentially penetrate below the surface.
-
Strip your skin-care routine down to the basics: a gentle cleanser and a simple, hydrating moisturizer; but don’t wash your face for at least six hours after your treatment, to allow the PRP time to sink in.
-
Don’t work up a sweat. Sweat contains bacteria that can aggravate your skin.
The entire recovery process shouldn’t take longer than a week, but your skin may remain sensitive for a little longer than that. Your face will be dry and a little flaky for up to two weeks after the procedure as the old dead skin falls away leaving the rejuvenated skin behind.
