For decades, science has pursued the dream of utilizing stem cells to develop anti-aging therapies, advance tissue repair, and treat everything from cancer to autoimmune diseases. To date, ethical, logistical, and safety issues have been the bottleneck to reaching that fountain of youth. With advances in supplements, various peptide therapies, and lifestyle hacks, the evolving field of Biohacking and regenerative medicine is at the forefront of finding ways to look, feel, and live our very best. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections have gained enormous popularity in the aesthetic world due to various issues, including hair loss, wound healing, skin tightening, and wrinkle reduction. Drawing and isolating the plasma portion of our blood for reinjection into various skin parts can provide essential growth factors, cells, and signal mechanisms that may improve many aspects of aging skin. To date, although effective for some, these procedures have proven unpredictable in overall efficacy. Finally, we have catapulted into a future of promise with VSEL stem cell PRP therapy.

The most exciting advancement to date in regenerative medicine is the discovery and application of VSEL cells (tiny embryonic-like stem cells), which have the ‘pluripotent’ ability to turn into various cells throughout the human body. These little cells, smaller than a blood cell, are present since embryogenesis and are found in all tissues, laying dormant throughout our lives until activated in stressful situations such as a heart attack. They are essentially “backup” stem cells for repair. Unlike actual embryonic stem cells and ones that are experimentally reprogrammed from adult-developed cells, VSELs pose no ethical or safety risk (i.e., cancer promotion). Over the past several years of published research, the scientific community has learned how to isolate them and how they work. With modern laser technology, they can harness their potential for health and aesthetic rejuvenation. A landmark study in heart failure patients statistically showed dramatic improvements in cardiac function with this cutting-edge VSEL infusion therapy. Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank is one of a small handful of physicians worldwide on the clinical advisory team with the developers of this patented laser technology. He collaborates with members of the scientific team from Johns Hopkins, which has studied these cells and created the protocols necessary to make VSEL treatments a clinical reality in medicine!

Much like our extensive use of PRP over the years, we can now take these therapies to the next level. This is PRP 2.0! With direct injection into desired skin sites and IV infusion with external laser therapy, we can send VSEL stem cells directly to their preferred targets of inflammation and symptoms of aging. These combined working techniques from the inside and out exemplify all PFRANKMD Pro-Aging therapies, providing remarkable advances for cosmetic concerns only available at PFRANKMD.

The treatments using VSEL stem cells involve a sophisticated process of extracting, isolating, and administering these cells, augmented by cutting-edge laser technology to enhance their regenerative effects.

VSEL Vitality Infusions

At PFRANKMD, we are performing VSEL PRP IV infusions using a 20-minute laser-guided protocol to target the main organs for age rejuvenation: the brain, eyes and ears, the pituitary, the thyroid, thymus, adrenal glands, and gonads. Patients note, within days to weeks, an increased sense of wellness and energy, improved sleep, immunity, and sexual function.

VRG Fillers

In addition to the VSEL infusion therapy, we have developed a technique to turn VSEL-rich plasma into actual ‘fillers’ otherwise known as ‘VRG’ (VSEL-rich gels). We can use VRG to volumize tissue and improve wrinkles, fine lines, and crepey skin anywhere on the body without using foreign products. With the public’s increasing fear of commercial fillers, we can now avoid the unpredictable or allergenic potential associated with them. We are using your own “autologous” tissue. Safer, long-lasting, and naturally bio-stimulating, it is the rejuvenation we have always dreamed of in aesthetic medicine.

VSEL Aquagold

Using the unique hollow bored gold needles of the Aquagold device, we can micro-needle laser-activated VSEL PRP into the skin, offering a more effective alternative to the “vampire facelift,” which has gained more traction on social media than as a proven therapy.

VSEL Recovery Infusions

Performed intravenously, VSEL is specifically laser-guided to the area of trauma. It is also helpful in recovering from any cosmetic procedure, whether laser resurfacing or plastic surgery. VSEL therapy can be used topically after treatment or intravenously to increase the speed of recovery and reverse advanced age.

VSEL PRP for Hair Restoration

With VSEL hair restoration, we can replace traditional PRP therapy with platelet-rich plasma with stem cells for hair loss. VSEL hair restoration using stem cells offers significantly greater efficacy in stimulating hair growth by providing platelet growth factors and activated stem cells.

We are now at the forefront of life extension and age reversal both physically and aesthetically, and as expected, you will find it here first at PFRANKMD.

The ideal candidates for VSEL stem cell treatments, particularly those focused on anti-aging and regeneration, typically fall into specific categories based on their health status, conditions they might be facing, and their overall goals for treatment. However, it’s crucial to note that as this field is relatively new and rapidly evolving, criteria for candidacy might vary and should always be determined in consultation with Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank. Generally, potential ideal candidates may include:

Individuals Seeking Cosmetic and Anti-Aging Treatments

People interested in reducing the signs of aging, improving skin quality, hair restoration, or other cosmetic enhancements might consider VSEL therapy. Its potential to regenerate tissue could translate into rejuvenated skin, reduced wrinkles, and improved hair density.

Individuals Looking for Age Reversal and regenerative Treatments

Those interested in exploring cutting-edge regenerative therapies for overall wellness and vitality problems might be candidates for VSEL therapy. The multi-potent nature of these cells offers a broad range of potential applications currently being studied for conditions such as ALS, Parkinson’s, macular degeneration, and a variety of orthopedic disabilities.

Individuals with Age-Related conditions

In aging individuals facing conditions, VSEL therapy could enhance tissue repair, similarly aiding those with persistent injuries like non-healing wounds and joint issues where conventional treatments falter.

VSEL stem cells for hair aim to leverage the regenerative potential of stem cells to repair and rejuvenate hair follicles, possibly offering a more fundamental restoration. In contrast, PRP injections focus on stimulating existing hair follicles and improving their health through growth factors contained in platelets. While PRP is more established and backed by a larger body of evidence, VSEL therapy represents a newer frontier in regenerative medicine with potentially broader implications for hair restoration. As with any medical treatment, individuals should consult with Dr. Frank to determine the most appropriate option based on their specific condition, needs, and the current state of research.

The number of VSEL Stem Cell Therapy treatments required can vary significantly depending on several factors, including:

1. The Condition Being Treated: Certain conditions may respond more quickly to VSEL therapy, requiring fewer treatments, while others, particularly more severe or chronic conditions, might need multiple sessions to achieve desired results.

2. Treatment Goals: The specific objectives of the therapy (e.g., regeneration, repair, cosmetic improvement) can influence the number of treatments. For example, cosmetic applications require fewer sessions than treatments to repair tissue damage or manage chronic diseases.

3. Individual Response: Everybody responds differently to stem cell therapies. Factors such as age, overall health, lifestyle, and the body’s natural healing capabilities can impact the effectiveness of the treatment and, consequently, the number of sessions needed.

4. Treatment Protocol: The specific protocol followed, including the method of administration (intravenous vs. direct injection), dosage of stem cells, and adjunctive therapies used, can also affect the number of treatments required.
