Stem cell treatment for Facelift

A facelift is a cosmetic procedure that tightens facial skin to reduce signs of aging. This involves removing excess skin, tightening facial muscles and repositioning tissues to achieve a more youthful appearance. Facelifts are often sought by people who want to reduce wrinkles, loose skin and other signs of aging on the face. This procedure can boost self-confidence and promote a more youthful appearance.

How is our stem cell treatment for Facelift performed in Istanbul?

Platelet-rich plasma is injected into the face and neck. This is a relatively simple procedure, and the entire process should not take longer than an hour. PRP facelifts are minimally invasive procedures, and it is safe to say they are one of the safest ways to get a facelift in this era of synthetic fillers. The treatment has proven effective in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and various facial imperfections, making it a viable solution.

Platelet-rich plasma excels at restoring damaged tissue, and the fact that it is used as a regenerative treatment on various parts of the body is a clear indication of its effectiveness.

How does our stem cell treatment for facelift work?

All our stem cell treatments in Istanbul are assessed and administered by specialists in the field, trained in the United States and Turkey, and not by general practitioners. We do this to ensure the highest level of precision, understanding of the condition and quality of treatment for our patients. We are 100% open and honest with our patients. Not everyone is eligible for our stem cell treatments.

We decline treatment for many patients after our specialist reviews their current health and medical history and determines that treatment is unsuitable. This avoids false promises or expectations when the risks outweigh the benefits. For this reason, and to ensure patient safety in all our treatments, each patient is assessed by the specialist before they can plan their treatment.

  1. Step 1.

    Specialist assessment

    For Facelift patients, our specialist will need to know the patient's age and previous medical treatments. In addition, he will need to review the test results you will be asked to provide.

  2. Step 2.

    Free telephone consultation with the specialist

    Once the specialist has reviewed the medical records and confirmed your suitability, we will present treatment options and pricing. We also offer a free telephone consultation to discuss your questions and concerns.

  3. Step 3.

    Stem cell preparation

    Once you decide to undergo our treatment, we will send a deposit invoice to begin the process of stem cell preparation so that it is ready for your scheduled treatment. This process can take 5-10 days, depending on current demand and availability.

  4. Step 4.

    Treatment day

    On the day of treatment you can choose to come to our hospital location or use our free transportation to and from our clinic in Istanbul. Our driver will pick you up at your desired location and accompany you to our clinic, where the specialist will administer the treatment, and then take you safely back.

  5. Step 5.

    Follow-up care

    Our follow-up specialist will contact you according to our follow-up schedule to ensure you have all the resources you need for maximum benefits. Your well-being and satisfaction are our top priority.

Frequently asked questions

How much does treatment cost, and what is included?

Costs depend on your assessment and the proposed treatment plan. Request an itemised quotation before making a decision.

The existing treatment information includes transport to and from the clinic, specialist treatment, a personal contact and follow-up. Confirm the exact arrangements in your quotation.

Before booking, request a written quotation covering treatment, tests, transport and follow-up. Confirm whether travel, accommodation, extra sessions and additional care are included. Insurance reimbursement is not automatic; check this with your insurer in advance.

How is my suitability assessed?

Medical assessment comes before treatment planning. Share your diagnosis, current symptoms, medication, previous treatments and available test results. The specialist considers potential benefits, risks and alternatives. Further assessment may be needed, and treatment may not be appropriate.

How effective is this stem cell treatment for a facelift?

Potential outcomes vary between people and treatment protocols. Your assessment should cover specific goals, the available research and the remaining uncertainties. Agree on when and how results will be assessed. Another patient’s experience cannot reliably predict your own outcome.

Include recent test results and your experience of previous treatments so that the assessment reflects your own situation.

Which risks and side effects should I discuss?

Risks depend on the cell product, the administration method and your health. Ask the doctor to explain possible side effects and complications, how they would be managed and whom to contact after returning home. Injections and infusions are not risk-free.

Wharton’s jelly secretome and skin quality

A 21-participant pilot reported better hydration and elasticity after one week of topical use. No control group; secretome is not an isolated exosome or facelift treatment.

How should you read these studies?

We select research by condition, cell source and administration, prioritising cord tissue and Wharton’s jelly. This is not a systematic review. A matching cell source does not mean preparation, dose or protocol matches our treatment. Extracellular vesicles, isolated exosomes and secretome are different preparations. Animal and laboratory research explores possible mechanisms; a trial protocol contains no results yet. PubMed inclusion is not treatment approval.
