There are times when nearly everyone doesn’t feel their best.
With age, stress, environmental damage and even health factors, we can look in the mirror and not recognize the person staring back at us.
In years’ past, one of the only options for addressing an aging face was a facelift.
Not so today with highly advanced regenerative medicine options.
At Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we offer a host of natural treatments that can address face and skin issues to help you look younger and more refreshed.
And the beauty of regenerative medicine is that it is a holistic solution and tends to come with fewer risks and less downtime than a costly facelift procedure.
Addressing your face, skin and beauty is not vain – it is a natural part of feeling our best. But it is key to understand your options.
Keep reading to learn more on the differences between regenerative medicine aesthetics and a facelift.
Alternatives to a facelift are more prevalent than ever
Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine has vast experience and skill in regenerative medicine not only for helping the body heal from injuries and other health ailments, but also for aesthetic concerns.
Today’s advancements in regenerative medicine have become a viable solution for aging and sagging skin, dull skin, lines and wrinkles.
Our treatment options like PRP or platelet-rich plasma therapy and PRP microneedling focus on rebuilding and supporting the process of restoring the face, rather than repositioning the tissues as a facelift does.
A facelift is also known as a rhytidectomy and is a procedure done surgically that addresses signs of aging on the face and neck. It can offer improvement to sagging skin, loose tissue and jowls.
But like any surgery, a facelift can come with certain risks.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons notes that a facelift can come with complications like bleeding, anesthesia complications, injury of the facial nerves, wound healing issues, fluid accumulation, infection, swelling and scarring.
And while some are healed enough in several weeks to go out in public confidently, sometimes it takes months.
While everyone’s facelift experience is different, it is important to understand the risks.
Today, many are researching alternative options like regenerative medicine to address dissatisfaction with facial and skin appearance.
This is due to the far less downtime and a minimally invasive approach along with results that develop over time gradually.
Many choose regenerative medicine aesthetics if they are concerned with:
- Tired-looking skin
- Dull skin
- Sagging skin
- Jowls
- Lines and wrinkles
- Sagging neck skin
- Superficial and acne scarring
- And more
With PRP, we can inject your own stem cells into the area of concern to ignite rejuvenation. We can also couple it with microneedling for an advanced and effective treatment.
PRP works at a cellular level, and it works to repair damaged tissues, rejuvenate collagen and even encourage hair growth.
PRP naturally occurs in the body making it a safe alternative to a facelift and does not involve any unnatural occurring substances or require you to go under anesthesia.
A consultation can guide you on which treatments may be a fit for you.

We pride ourselves on taking a customized approach to every patient’s plan of treatment and thoroughly listen to patients’ concerns and goals.
