Lilium® amniotic fluid products are designed to help your skin, hair, and body renew and regenerate its natural potential and reveal your true self. This regenerative therapy product delivers over 200 biologically active cytokines and growth factors, hyaluronic acid, RNA and microRNA to renew and regenerate the treatment area. Lilium is Latin for lily flower. In symbology and botanical medicine, its meaning relates to renewal and rebirth, thus regeneration. Lilium® uses the calla lily as their symbol; “calla” is from the Greek word for beauty.

In facial aesthetics, these messengers build the right types of collagen to promote healthy, glowing skin. It helps restores both the youthful appearance and shape of the face as well as provide an improvement in skin quality, tightness, fine lines, wrinkles and color irregularities caused by the aging process and exposure to the sun and environment.

Regenerative therapy injections are the future of skincare, replacing botox and fillers with this advanced approach to a youthful look. These regenerative therapies naturally work with your own production of building of collagen, proteins and growth factors. The skin will regenerate itself approximately every 27 days, you will progressively see results throughout this time. It will peak at six months with lasting results as it is your own building of your own collagen production. We suggest 2 to 6 treatments per year depending on your desired look and the amount of aging that has happened to the skin when we start the initial treatment.

Lilium® harnesses the power and science behind the fluid of new life - amniotic fluid - to renew and regenerate a thinning hairline. Two common factors causing hair loss that can be addressed are decreased blood flow and inflammation. The tiny lipid particles in the Lilium® product allow for rapid absorption by the scalp to help facilitate hair growth.

Regenerative therapy may begin promoting natural hair growth in as little as two to three months. New hair growth can continue over the course of a year, with the most noticeable results usually being seen six months after treatment has been administered.

We typically recommend waiting 6 to 8 months after the last treatment to re-evaluate and before potentially performing another treatment of Lilium® injections if it is necessary.

PRP or platelet rich plasma begins with centrifuging the patient’s blood in order to concentrate the growth factors and platelets naturally present in the body. The drawback of using PRP is it does not provide any stem cells because as we age our bodies contain less and less stem cells in our blood. In addition to age being a factor, the patient’s health is also very critical to the quality of PRP harvested. Before PRP was developed, stem cells would come from fat collected during liposuction. However, that process was painful and more expensive with the patient having to undergo two procedures. Again, the patient’s age and overall health came into play with the quantity and quality of the stem cells available.

No. It is ideal for the patient to stop taking NSAIDS for 72 hours prior to the injection and for 4 days after. NSAIDS will NOT destroy the injected cells but they can potentially lessen the effects.

There are no contraindications for Lilium® injections.

Patients are advised to:

1. Drink a lot of fluid one day prior to the procedure
2. Have breakfast the morning of their procedure
3. Avoid Aspirin, Naproxen, Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs 3 days prior to the procedure and 3 weeks after the procedure.

The only restriction is to avoid aspirin, naproxen, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDs for 3 weeks following the procedure. Following the procedure, you may go home and shower. Be aware the treated area may be tender. Many patients return to work or their daily routine the same day.

Currently there are no large direct studies that show that regenerative therapies or stem cells do not cause cancer, but there are studies where stem cells have been utilized to treat cancer, and the conclusion from these studies is that since the stem cells work to suppress cancer cells, it is assumed that they will neither help proliferate cancer cells nor cause the formation of cancer cells.

Yes. Clinical and anecdotal results have shown tremendous efficacy for when regenerative therapy is utilized.
