Under Eye Bags and
Dark Circles
Get rid of unsightly under eye bags and refresh your face with a well rested and youthful appearance.
As we age, our skin loses collagen and extracellular matrix, which can cause dark circles and bags to form under our eyes. There are 2 options available to help alleviate these under-eye bags. Dermal Fillers or Amniotid Fluid injections. Depending on the type of under-eye bags you have Dr Schaefer will recommend either a carefully placed injection of a dermal filler or the use of amniotic fluid. We have had great success with both of these options. Our amniotic fluid preparation contains Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Growth Factors, and Exosomes that can spur cellular repair and improve tissue elasticity. Dermal Fillers will last for up to 2 years and the Amniotic fluid treatment while slower to show results can result in permanent improvement in your appearance.
Umbilical Cord Derived
Wharton’s jelly derived from the umbilical cord has several advantages over other forms of stem cell therapy. As you can see from the table below. The Umbilical Cord Derived from Wharton's Jelly has a higher concentration of the growth factors, extracellular matrix, and collagen.
Wharton's Jelly
Wharton’s jelly is a substance found in the umbilical cord that contains mesenchymal stem cells. Below are referenced multiple peer-reviewed published science articles demonstrating the efficacy of Wharton's Jelly in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases like Degenerative Disk Disease, Vertebral Compression Fracture, Osteoarthritis, and Peripheral Nerve injury. We have had miraculous results with these treatments. This is the future of medicine available today.
