As you all know 30 is the year I get psycho serious about skincare! See: Dermaplaning & the low down on facial lasers. I’ve been learning a ton and I’m SO excited to take you along this journey with me!
Here’s the deal: prevention is KEY when it comes to skincare. I wish I had started focusing on the health of my skin, the body’s largest organ, in my 20’s. But it’s better now than never right?
I started to receive stem cells after my laser treatments at Leah Chavie Skincare, which helps everything calm down as well as blanket and protect the skin. You can’t wash your face or wear makeup the entire day and you need to be SUPER careful of touching your face.
But, OH MY GOD when you wake up the next morning you guys…your skin is A-list awesome! It’s noticeably more radiant and hydrated and about a week later visibly smoother and more plump.
Speaking of A-list…stem cells are another one of those treatments celebs will openly talk about! Fans include Courtney Cox, Kim Kardashian and Victoria Beckham to name a few!
Naturally the first time I was introduced to stem cells, I talked Leah’s ear off asking her EVERYTHING you might want to know! Get all the details on stem cells below:
What Exactly Are Stem Cells?
The incredible thing about stem cells is that they are live un-blueprinted cells, so they respond to wherever you apply them. If you drop them in your eyes or on your liver for instance, they’ll help regenerate healthy eye cells and healthy liver cells.
The stem cells stay alive and active within the skin for 30 days—so your body starts to regenerate healthy cells as opposed to mimicking dead/damaged cells.
These are some of the reasons why many scientists and health care professionals are obsessed with them. When used to fight illness or disease, stem cells can actually help the body regrow damaged tissue and heal itself from the inside out.
Benefits of a Stem Cell Facial:
As we age our skin becomes wrinkled and loses it’s radiance, elasticity and plump factor which is due to our aging cell walls.
A stem cell treatment is a restorative process that helps your body replace damaged cells with new, in order to rejuvenate tissue, restore skin tightness and the natural contour/shape of the face. Best of all surgery free!
FYI: Stem cell treatments can be added on to any facial or as a stand alone service. Leah even recommends stem cell treatments before flying or a special event!
More benefits of stem cells:
- Provides intense hydration of the skin
- Plumps fine lines and wrinkles.
- Revitalizes dry and dehydrated skin
- Helps reverse sun damaged skin
- Can reduce the appearance of stretchmarks, burns and scars
Where Do Stem Cells Come From?
The stem cells used by Leah Chavie Skincare come from cows, specifically SPA COWS in Paris. Have you ever heard of such a thing? These cows are very well taken care of and are not harmed in any way. Leah uses a chemical free and 100% natural skincare brand, which is super important for me as I clean up my beauty routine.
Stem Cells At Home
The CryoStem Lift Stick is perfect to use at home to EXTEND the benefits of your in-office stem cell treatments! The fresh and active serum is a lower concentration than the one use by your skincare professional. When used daily, the Lift Stick provides the same skin rejuvenating, firming and clarifying benefits that were initiated with the professional service.
Other benefits of using stem cells at home:
- Contains the key elements to correct, rebuild, influence, nourish, and preserve skin.
- Smoothes and refines the skin.
- Clarifies the skin and balances sebum production.
- Excellent firming and toning action.
- Extremely effective in reducing erythema (redness) after dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, chemical peels (and/or other medical/aesthetics procedures that can cause irritation to the skin), and phototrauma (sunburn).
