My guest Dr. Amy Killen is an expert in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Killen received her MD from UT Southwestern and currently practices at Docere Medical in Park City, Utah, where she specializes in anti-aging stem cell therapies.
Dr. Killen works on the cutting edge of anti-aging and regenerative procedures, most of which are natural and require little to no downtime. Today we discuss the latest stem cell therapies and how they can be used to treat everything from fine lines and wrinkles, to sexual dysfunction in both men and women.
Do vampire facials really work or are they just a fad? Find out at the 23 minute mark.
Stem Cell TherapyStem cells are located all over your body and are responsible for regenerating new tissue. As we age, not only do we start to lose stem cells, but our remaining stem cells become more dysfunctional. Stem cell therapy starts with retrieving your body’s own stem cells from adipose tissue (fat) with a small, minimally invasive liposuction procedure.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is used alone or in conjunction with stem cell therapy. Platelets are collected from blood drawn from your arm. When activated, they release stimulating growth factors that act like “fertilizer” for stem cells.
Once stem cells are collected from a small amount of fat, they are either concentrated into a small pellet and injected under the skin, or applied topically with a micro needling device.
Micro needling is also called collagen induction therapy. The procedure creates microchannels in the skin that kick start your immune system to rejuvenate the skin.
Vampire Facelifts and Facials
Vampire facials and lifts can be applied in combination with one another for added effectiveness. The combine procedures takes 60 to 90 minutes and requires little to no downtime.
Hair LossStem cell therapy is effective for both men and women, and can be used to treat thinning hair caused by pattern baldness, auto-immune problems, and metabolic issues. The treatment involves injecting stem cells with PRP into the scalp to help thicken and activate hair follicles in areas of hair thinning.
The O-Shot and the P-ShotOrgasm Shot (O-Shot)
The O-Shot uses PRP to treat female sexual dysfunction. The procedure consists of just two injections and not only improves sexual function, but can also help treat urinary incontinence. Patients typically only require one or two treatments over the course of several months. Additional treatments beyond that are not usually required.
Priapus Shot (P-Shot)
The P-Shot is a similar treatment intended for men. It consists of three to five injections in the penis, and helps with erectile dysfunction and sensitivity.
When Stem Cell Therapy My Not Right for You
Stem cell therapy is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or has active cancer. Therapies may be less effective if you have a platelet problem, chronic immune disease, or are a chronic steroid user.
