The Isolagen Process is an innovative cellular processing system which creates a natural, living cell therapy. By multiplying a patient's own collagen-producing cells or fibroblasts into tens of millions of new cells, a personalized treatment is created which is then returned to the patient's skin. This treatment, known as the Isolagen Therapy, is designed to improve skin damage caused by the normal effects of aging, sun damage, acne and burns.
