Metacell Protocol starts with your own biology. We draw your blood, separate the platelet-rich plasma, and
activate the platelets with PBM (photobiomodulation, also known as low-level light therapy). The result
is an autologous concentrate of your own growth factors and signaling proteins, prepared in our clinic in
under an hour, ready to be delivered into the layers of your face that need them.
We deliberately do not use the imprecise phrase that's often advertised next to autologous regenerative
care. There is no banked donor cell line in this protocol, no proprietary culture, no “youth serum” sourced
from outside your body. What we do is autologous regenerative activation: your platelets, your growth
factors, activated through PBM, delivered into the same face that produced them.
The second half of the protocol is the energy device the physician selects for your face. Some patients
need deep structural lift — Ultherapy reaches the SMAS layer. Some need surface tightening across a wider
surface area — Thermage heats dermal collagen. Many patients need both, balanced. The Metacell layer
amplifies recovery and biological response across whichever device the physician chooses, which is why
the final price varies: it scales with the depth and surface area of the lift you actually need.
