HUNTINGTON Serucell Corporation, a cosmeceutical company based in Huntington, has developed the worlds only dual-cell technology to create and produce anti-aging skincare products, and they did it in Huntington.
Serucell KFS Cellular Protein Complex Serum is made start to finish at Serucells laboratory on the south side of Huntington.
This has been one of the best kept secrets in West Virginia, said Cortland Bohacek, executive chairman and a co-founder of Serucell Corporation.
The company soft launch was in September 2018 at The Greenbrier Spas. The Official online launch was April 2019 and is getting exposure with some well known sellers like Neiman Marcus, local dermatologist and plastic surgeons offices and several other retail locations from New York to California. It is also sold online at serucell.com.
One person that has tried the product is Jennifer Wheeler, who is also a Huntington City Council member.
As a consumer I have an appreciation of the quality of the product and the results Ive seen using it, she said. It has been transformative for my skin and seems like its success will be transformative for our city as well.
She said Serucell and the people behind it are impressive on every level.
In my role on council, Im especially grateful for the companys conscious effort to stay and grow in our city, Wheeler said.
A one-ounce bottle of the serum costs $225. The recommended usage is twice per day and it will last on average of about six weeks.
Serucells active ingredient is called KFS (Keratinocyte Fibroblast Serum), which is made up of more than 1,500 naturally derived super proteins, collagens, peptides and signaling factors that support optimal communication within the cellular makeup of your skin.
This is the first and only dual-cell technology that optimizes hydration and harnesses the power of both keratinocytes and fibroblasts, two essential contributors to maintaining healthy skin by supporting natural rejuvenation of aging skin from the inside out, said Jennifer Hessel, president and CEO of the company.
When applied to the skin, KFS helps boost the skins natural ability to support new collagen and elastin, strengthen the connection and layer of support between the upper and lower layers of your skin. The result, over time is firmer, plumper and smoother skin, according to Hessel.
Why it works so naturally with your skin is because it is natural, Hessel said. These proteins play an important role in strengthening the bond between the layers of your skin, and thats where the re-boot happens.
KFS is the creation of Dr. Walter Neto, Serucells chief science officer and co-founder of the company. Neto is both a physician and a research scientist, specializing in the field of regenerative medicine with an emphasis on skin healing and repair.
Neto said Serucells technology unlocks the key to how our cells communicate and harnesses the signaling power actions to produce the thousands of bioactive proteins necessary to support the skins natural rejuvenation.
Originally from Brazil, Neto studied at Saint Matthews University and completed his clinical training in England. His clinical research on stem-cell cancer therapies, bone and tissue engineering and wound and burn healing led to his discovery in cell-to-cell communication, and ultimately the creation of Serucells KFS Cellular Protein Complex Serum.
Neto received multiple patents for the production method of Serucell KFS Serum. He lives in Huntington with his wife and four golden retrievers and works alongside his longtime friend, Dr. Brett Jarrell.
I have known Brett since I was 18 years old, Neto said.
Jarrell practices emergency medicine in Ashland, Kentucky, and oversees all aspects of quality control for Serucell. He received his bachelors degree in biology from Wittenberg University, his masters degree in biology from Marshall University and his medical degree from the Marshall University School of Medicine. Jarrell completed his residency at West Virginia University and is board certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
Jarrell has served as a clinical instructor of emergency medicine at the Marshall School of Medicine, president of the West Virginia chapter of the American College of Emergency Medicine and he has published a number of peer-reviewed journal articles on stroke research.
Jarrell also lives in Huntington.
Another co-founder of the company is Dr. Tom McClellan.
McClellan is Serucells chief medical officer and director of research and is a well-respected plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a private practice, McClellan Plastic Surgery, in Morgantown.
McClellan completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery training at the world-renowned Lahey Clinic Foundation, a Harvard Medical School and Tufts Medical School affiliate in Boston, Massachusetts. While in Boston, he worked at Lahey Medical Center, Brigham and Womens Hospital, as well as at the Boston Childrens Hospital. McClellan is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
In addition to his practice and role at Serucell, McClellan utilizes his surgical skills through pro bono work with InterplastWV, a non-profit group that provides comprehensive reconstructive surgery to the developing world. He has participated in surgical missions to Haiti, Peru and the Bahamas.
McClellan lives in Morgantown with his family.
All three doctors here have strong connections to West Virginia, and we didnt want to leave, Neto said. We all want to give back to West Virginia, so that is the main reason we have our business here in Huntington.
We are building a company we believe can make a difference in the community, Hessel added. Our goal is to grow Serucell and build our brand right here in Huntington. There is a pool of untapped talent here in Huntington. When we expand our business here, we can provide another reason for young people to be able to stay and grow their careers, whether it is in science, operations or manufacturing. The team is a pretty excited to make an impact in the community where it all started.
Hessel decline to give sales numbers, but said the business has been growing each year since the product was introduced. She also declined to give the number of employees at the facility, but did say it has sales representatives across the country.

Today's healthcare challenges and tomorrow's opportunity can only be met by those who search out deeper explanations of the body processes that generate health and disease. Life expectancy has increased due to advances in medical science. However it has come with little progress towards quality of life or the length of disease-free years in the majority of population.
Most researchers believe that maximum life span in human is slightly over 110 years. Beyond that age, the estimates and speculation enter the realms of science fiction.
Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happens to man. -
Leon Trotsky
Aging has been a fact of life ever since it was created. Human beings go through various phases of life from being child to youth to being adult with youth being the best part of life from health point of view. Good health, strong muscles, an efficient immune system, a sharp memory and a healthy brain are characteristic of ideal youth. The hormones work at their peak capacity during the youth years.
Anti-Aging medicine aims to maintain or achieve this irrespective of chronological age i.e. to stay healthy and biologically efficient.
The prestigious scientific journal, Biogerontology, defines aging as: The progressive failing ability of the body's own intrinsic and genetic powers to defend, maintain and repair itself in order to keep working efficiently.
We are now living in the information age. Medical knowledge is increasing at an amazing rate-doubling every three years. This doubling rate of information is progressively decreasing. The world is changing and so is the way we view our health and well being as we age.
Aging has been believed to be inherent, universal, progressive natural phenomenon. It is detrimental with no benefits except perhaps wisdom. But now there is a paradigm shift in looking at the aging process based on firmly documented evidence in medical and scientific literature. If we plot the health in y-axis and the number of years in x-axis, the curve of life is like a triangle which is skewed with its apex at 25-30 years. Anti-aging helps to make it rectangle.
Many natural aging mechanisms frequently result in actual diseases. From this we can conclude that fighting an aging process may well bring about an improvement of an age related illness.
All animals or plants eventually show signs of aging even if they are in a protected environment. When we look at Ayurveda which prescribes plants or their components and extracts to fight against illness, one has to wonder why? Nature created these plant chemicals to help them protect against diseases or aging. Humans have later adapted these chemicals for their own use to increase their chances of maintaining their health.
Anti-aging medicine is an evolving branch of medical science and applied medicine. It treats the underlying causes of aging and aims at alleviating any age related ailment. Its goal is to extend the healthy lifespan of humans having youthful characteristics.
Conventional and alternative medical disciplines are used in an integrated approach to achieve the best possible result for the patient. It is a holistic discipline, seeing the patient as a whole and not as someone having an isolated disease.
Those physicians interested in studying age related medicine can do so by attending courses offered by various organization across the globe with predominant being The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine or A4M. It is not yet formally accredited by the American Medical Association. Some scientists and physicians take offense at the name Anti-Aging as they think it is unscientific. They have suggested terms such as Age Management Medicine, Advanced Preventive Medicine, Interventive Biogerontology. But the underlying principles remain the same.
Aging is a progressive failure of metabolic processes. There is a concept of pause as put forth by Dr. Eric Braverman indicating that every organ ages at a different rate. To a certain extent it is based on hormones. All these have been put forth into various theories as follows:
Free Radical Theory
The Nuroendocrine Theory
Telomerase Theory of Aging
The Wear and Tear Theory
The Rate of Living Theory
The Waste Product Accumulation Theory
The Cross-linking Theory
The Immune Theory
Theories of Errors and Repairs
The Order to Disorder Theory
Some of these contradict and others overlap. But underlying these are three main biochemical processes involved in aging. These are oxidation, glycation and methylation. Other relevant processes are chronic inflammation and hormonal deregulation.
Free radicals are a group of simple compounds with an electron missing from their chemical structure. This makes them unstable. They seek out other chemical structures from which they can acquire an electron and in the process make them unstable.
Free radicals in small and controlled quantities are useful in everyday metabolism. They take part in several normal reactions within the body including breathing. These free radicals are mainly produced during oxygen metabolism within the cells. The problem starts when the production of these free radicals increases and goes out of control.
Free radical reactions can be divided into three stages: Initiation, Propagation and Termination. The defense mechanisms against these are inactivating them within the cells soon after production, removing them by scavenging antioxidants and increasing the elimination of material already damaged by free radicals.
To put it in practice means to prevent exposure to free radicals from sources such as pollution, bad diet, and smoking and take antioxidants. The term antioxidant refers to chain-breaking compound. Broadly antioxidant is any substance, that when present at low concentrations compared with those of an oxidizable substrate significantly delays or inhibits oxidation of that substrate.
Free radicals damage the cell membrane which is composed of lipids and proteins. Their interaction results in the production of the chemical Melondialdehyde which is very harmful, contributing to another important aging process called glycation.
When glucose molecules and other sugars such as fructose attach themselves to proteins, it is called glycation. This results in brownish discoloration of tissues. The binding of sugar to protein causes cross linking of proteins. Cross linked proteins cause more damage by reacting with free radicals and other toxins to create Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs). These AGEs bind to cells at special attachment sites called RAGEs (Receptor for AGEs). These result in the production of several harmful chemicals damaging tissues.
AGEs are found in most tissues in the body and their concentration increases from the age of twenty onward.
However nutrient such as carnosine and other Anti-Aging supplements/drugs can help in breaking this process.
Unfortunately the process of glycation not only affects proteins, but also interferes with DNA. A cross linked DNA molecule is of no use at all. There are drugs being investigated which can actually break this bond between cross linked proteins which are glycated.
When methyl groups are being added to different constituents of the proteins, DNA and other molecules to keep them in good, active condition, it is called methylation. This is necessary for the normal maintenance of tissues and is usually kept at a healthy levels naturally by the body. Methylation of certain parts of the DNA causes permanent switching off of unnecessary genes and saves the body from abnormal DNA division. This means that methylation of those particular sections of DNA blocks any abnormal DNA from being passed onto the future generations of cells.
Any chronic inflammation process affects methylation because the immune system, which is heavily involved in fighting inflammation, gorges itself on methyl groups, leaving nothing for other tissues of the body.
Low methylation is reflected in the increasing levels of homocysteine, which is found in chronic inflammatory processes such as lupus, heart disease and diabetes. Increased intake of methylators reduces the risk of these diseases.
There are scientists who believe that most age related changes in the body are due to chronic inflammation. When there is chronic inflammation, the body tissues are eaten away by toxic chemicals, resulting in dementia, thickening of the arteries, arthritis, diabetes, hormonal imbalance and so on. Taking low dose of anti-inflammatory chemicals such as Aspirin keeps age related inflammation at bay. However, this is not a widely shared opinion. A diet containing nutrients i.e. fish (contains anti-inflammatory oils), fruit and vegetables, particularly berries (which are packed full of antioxidants and inflammation-fighting flavonoids) along with supplements like alpha lipoic acid and co-enzyme Q10 are helpful.
There is little doubt about the important role hormones play in our lives and in aging. The pacemakers of youth, these precious little chemicals keep us young, healthy and vibrant. In general, aging results in imbalance of hormones in the body or one can also ask Does hormonal imbalance cause aging? Hormones such as growth hormone, melatonin and DHEA need to be replaced or reactivated during aging to prevent the body from falling apart. It is also important to make sure that the binding sites of the hormones need to be in good working order. According to Dr. Eric Braverman, proponent of pause theory, every organ in the body ages at a different rate. The classical example of this is the menopause in females and the literature is replete with Hormone Replacement Therapy for the same. It seems prudent to replace the other hormones in physiological limits. Hormone replacement therapy is likely to play a very important role in maintaining health in time to come. It is very important here to make the distinction between the Synthetic hormones and the Bioidentical hormones which is discussed later.
Enhance health through eating a hormonally correct diet
Enrich body with optimum doses of proven antioxidants and nutraceuticals
Improve physical exercise performance, which includes aerobic, anaerobic and flexibility training
Replace hormones to levels to those of 20-30 years old.
The importance of food we eat can be summarized by what Dr. Barry Sears said and I quote: The food you eat is probably the most powerful drug you will encounter. But to use this drug correctly, you have to apply the hormonal rules about the food that haven't changed in the past 40 million years and are unlikely to change anytime soon.
Balancing Insulin and glucagon activity is at the core of eating a hormonally correct diet. The hormonally correct diet contains 30% protein, 50% carbohydrates and 20% fat along with vitamins, minerals and drinking plenty of water which is filtered, mineralized and magnetized. Eating small meals every 4-5 hours and eating the proper ratio of proteins, carbohydrates and fat at each meal or snack can mean a difference between illness and good health.
Eating proper food for one's height, weight and body type and activity level is the foundation for a better quality of life and greater longevity.
Dr. Alex Lief, MD Harvard Medical School has said and I quote: Exercise is the closest thing we have to an anti-aging pill. Regular physical activity has been a way of life for virtually every person who has reached the age of 100 years in sound condition. Exercise is medicine. If you think that smoking is not good, the following statement will enlighten. Not exercising has the equivalent impact on your health as smoking one and one half pack of cigarettes a day.
These include various antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. These include but are not limited to Vitamin A, C, E, mineral selenium, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Carnosine.
First we have to distinguish the synthetic hormones and bioidentical hormones. The former differ in chemical structure from the later which exactly have the same structure as the hormones we have in our body. Hence they can not be patented. These are available as injection, tablets, and creams. They are derived from Yam or Soy. The goal of hormone replacement therapy is to bring them to the level of youth. Again it has to be done after complete evaluation and under the guidance of an Anti-Aging physician.
The future will involve manipulating genes, increasing utilization of stem cells (embryonic and adult) and targeted delivery of nutrients and drugs using nanotechnology.
It is my hope that this will help you begin your educational journey in Anti-Aging Medicine.

Anti-aging medicine - PubMed Central (PMC)
Anti-aging medicine is the pinnacle of biotechnology joined with advanced clinical preventive medicine. The specialty is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. As such, anti-aging medicine is based on principles of sound and responsible medical care that are consistent with those applied in other preventive health specialties. The anti-aging medical model aims to both extend lifespan as well as prolong healthspan the length of time that we are able to live productively and independently.
Anti-aging medicine is the following:
Hundreds of scientific research studies clearly prove that modest interventions in diet, exercise, nutrition and single-gene modulation in the laboratory setting beneficially and significantly impact healthy function in old-age. Many of these interventions also modify maximum lifespan by 20 to 800% as well. With over the near-daily advancements in biomedical technologies related to research specifically focused on elucidating treatments for aging-related disorders and modulating the metabolic dysfunctions associated with old age, in the imminent near-future, effective interventions will become widely available to modulate the aging process itself in humans.
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health have found that the anti-aging lifestyle can add 24.6 more years of productive lifespan. The research team found that the longest-living Americans are Asian-American women residing in Bergen County, New Jersey USA. They live longer than any other ethnic group in the United States to an average lifespan of 91.1 years. In contrast, the Harvard team found that the shortest-living Americans are Native American populations in South Dakota, despite receiving free or low-cost government provided medical care living an average lifespan of 66.5 years. A distinguishing characteristic of the Bergen County womens longevity is that they are availing themselves of the armament of state-of-the-art biomedical technologies in advanced preventive care, including preventive screenings, early disease detection, aggressive intervention, and optimal nutrition all of which are cornerstones of the anti-aging medical model. [Bergen County, NJ is long in longevity, New York Times, September 12, 2006; Asian women in Bergen have nations top life expectancy, Free Republic, September 12, 2006.]
A first-ever study reveals the secrets of exceptional health in old age. Mark Kaplan, from Portland State University (Oregon, USA), and colleagues utilized the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3), a multidimensional measure of health status, to examine the maintenance of exceptionally good health among 2,432 elder Canadians enrolled in the Canadian National Population Health Survey, which tracked participants health for a ten-year period, 1994 to 2004. The researchers found that the most important predictors of excellent health over the entire decade were:
The team comments that: Many of these factors can be modified when you are young or middle-aged. While these findings may seem like common sense, now we have evidence of which factors contribute to exceptional health [as we age]. [Kaplan MS, Huguet N, Orpana H, Feeny D, McFarland BH, Ross N. Prevalence and factors associated with thriving in older adulthood: a 10-year population-based study. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2008 Oct;63(10):1097-104.]
Around the world, people are seeking medical guidance for ways to stay healthy, active, and vital well into their older years. As a result, the principles of the anti-aging lifestyle are gaining rapid and widespread acceptance as a framework for lifelong habits for healthy living.

Integrative medicine (aka regenerative medicine) and the concept of evidence-based Anti-Aging medicine is fast becoming the future of medicine and is easily integrated into your family or internal medical practice. During the Anti Aging training workshop offered by the A.A.O.P.M, you will learn the most popular integrative medical topics to help you recognize, diagnose and treat patients suffering from a variety of chronic ailments where conventional medicine has failed. This is a comprehensive certification program that will thoroughly prepare the attendee to successfully integrate Anti-Aging Medicine into their existing practice. The total market within the United States, as it relates to Anti-Aging medicine, is estimated to be over $15B.
Our seminars are taught by board-certified physician experts in Anti-Aging medicine. Anne Roberts, MD is board certified in Internal Medicine and has extensive experience in her field. Her credentials include receiving her medical degree and training from Johns Hopkins, Yale University and the Mayo Clinic. Attendees (please watch videos) have commented that Dr. Roberts is a dynamic instructor, and very patient, to ensure that students thoroughly understand the protocols presented.
Throughout the aging process, our internal systems and body chemistry change, and we develop certain imbalances and deficiencies, which in the past we would explain away as caused by life changes and genetics. Today we are able to review these various primary and secondary hormones, through testing and systems reviews, and to develop an effective personalized treatment plan that reverses these chronic conditions.
Anti-Aging medicine is an extension of preventive health care. If you are testing your patients cholesterol, or prescribing lipid-lowering drugs, melatonin or DHEA, or suggesting a mammogram, you are already involved in certain aspects of Anti-Aging medicine. It is estimated that more than 90% of all adult illness is due to the generative processes of aging, which may be corrected or improved by the addition of supplements, detoxification and hormonal correction.
Anti-Aging is a relatively new field of medicine, where natural approaches and lifestyle changes are used, in conjunction with traditional medicine, where applicable, to give relief to a variety of conditions.
During the Anti-Aging training seminar, you will understand how to analyze, test, evaluate and treat numerous chronic conditions you are presented with, each day. Attendees will be evaluated, and, upon successful demonstration of certain criteria, will be awarded A.A.O.P.Ms certification certificate.

Most people assume that physical, mental and sexual decline are an inevitable part of the aging process. However, at Longevity Centres of America, our anti-aging doctors don't promise an instant remedy that will alleviate all signs of aging. Instead, we offer an extensive anti-aging program that specifically targets the most physically and emotionally restrictive symptoms so you can age gracefully.
Our rejuvenating program pairs natural hormone replacement therapy with balanced nutrition and regular exercise, plus prescribed vitamin and mineral supplements to fill any gaps in your diet.
This comprehensive combination of treatments was designed to counter weight gain, energy and memory loss, wrinkle development, decreased sexual drive, shrinking muscle mass, hair loss and other signs of aging that can have an adverse effect on your quality of life.
What is hormone replacement therapy and is it safe?
Hormone replacement therapy is the process of restoring your body's natural balances by replenishing hormones that have depleted with age. At Longevity Centres of America, our anti-aging experts have based their hormone pellet therapy on the work of renowned endocrinologist Thierry Hertoghe, M.D, a leader in the field of anti-aging hormone modulation.
Hormone pellet therapy is one of the most misunderstood practices, though, because the synthetic imposters that mimic natural hormones can cause disastrous side effects. At our clinic, the anti-aging doctors at Longevity Centres of America use bioidential hormones in Denver and Houston that are natural replicas of the compounds in your body to restore your levels without wreaking havoc on your system.
How can sex hormones make me feel young again?
Two of the most well-known forms of hormone pellet therapy are estrogen and testosterone-based treatments. Estrogen pellet therapy, for example, is often prescribed for menopausal women looking for relief from the mood fluctuations, mental difficulties, hot flashes and weight gain that often characterize this time of life.
But, the benefits of estrogen pellets don't stop there. This hormone may also reduce the risk of detrimental illnesses including Alzheimer's disease, heart disease and arthritis. Plus, you may feel like a whole new women again, as this treatment can restore a youthful flush to your skin, as well as a natural lift to your breast and, of course, a healthy boost to your libido.
Longevity Centres of America also provides hormone replacement for men who are eager to regain their masculinity. As well as increasing your sex drive, testosterone pellet implants also encourage muscle growth and general endurance, and can even boost your confidence, leading you to become more assertive in all aspects of your life.
What other anti-aging hormones do you offer?
Each series of hormone pellet therapy at Longevity Centres of America is different, as Dr. Pearsall tailors every treatment to the specific symptoms, goals and blood levels of the patient. As well as replenishing your estrogen and testosterone levels, we also address the drops in progestosterone, thyroid hormones, DHEA, melatonin, cortisol and pregnenolone.
These individual anti-aging hormones work together to increase your energy, elevate your mood, restore a youthful allure to your skin and hair and promote your mental sharpness as you age. Other health benefits include facilitating blood flow through your body, combating weight gain, preventing bone loss and reducing the risk of heart disease.
When you visit one of our clinics. Dr. Pearsall can explain the exact functions of these hormones to help you determine the best hormone pellet therapy for your needs.The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine is also an excellent resource for information on these chemicals.
They say that true beauty comes from within, and the same can be said for youthful vitality. Your hormones are the foundation from which you can construct a more youthful you. Without restoring your body's natural balances, you simply can't achieve the equilibrium that promotes mental, physical and sexual health.

ABC News' Juju Chang and Cathy Becker report:
Jacqueline Laurita lives a life in the spotlight.
As a star of the hit reality-TV show " The Real Housewives of New Jersey," the mother of three has been engaged in an on-air fight with former friend Teresa Guidice, a fight that most recently played out on the show's three-part reunion.
"It would just take a lot at this point," Laurita, 42, told "Good Morning America" of a possible reconciliation with her co-star and one-time friend. "It's hard. It's stressful."
Another thing Laurita can't reconcile is the concept of aging gracefully.
"I think that when people age gracefully, the people that age gracefully, it's because they can. Just for me, if I can fight it, I will," she said.
To deal, in part, with the reality of appearing on reality TV, Laurita admitted that she has tried many beauty approaches and treatments, including Botox, fillers and Fraxel laser.
The newest weapon in Laurita's fight is called "Ultherapy," a noninvasive skin treatment that uses ultrasound to lift, tone and tighten loose skin.
RELATED: Can you stop the clock with preventive Botox, thermage treatments?
Dr. William Song, an aesthetic medicine specialist at Omni Aesthetics in Oakland, N.J., performs the procedure for Laurita. He told "GMA" that the procedure was one of his favorite anti-aging therapies. And there's zero downtime.

Jacqueline Laurita of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Shares 'Ultherapy' Beauty Secret
Today is the moment. And now is the time to take action. The population of the world is aging at a rapid rate. And according to a 2011 research paper from the Harvard School of Public Health, there will be close to a billion people over the age of 60 by 2020, doubling to nearly two billion by 2050.
This staggering number represents 22 percent of the worlds population. And it can only translate to one realitythat the business of anti-aging (or aging, for that matter) is a serious one.
A report by the MIT Age Lab reveals that the 50 and above age group represents the fastest-growing segment worldwide.
This new phenomenon has catapulted the wellness industry to a booming global business. In a report by the Global Spa Summit, it was stated that the beauty and anti-aging segment of the wellness industry was valued at $679.1 billion in 2012. And its still growing.
Nothing instant
With the growing demand for treatments to delay aging, there has been an unprecedented spike in the clamor for the quick fix. Instant is the operative word. And suddenly mushrooming are spas, beauty centers, and even beauty parlors offering procedures that may be questionable and often risky.
We have known of many instances where patients have been disfigured or lost their lives due to excessive treatments promising quick transformations. Apart from the risks, all anti-aging treatments are expensive and not within the reach of the average individual.
Truth be told, recapturing ones youth isnt a matter of popping super pills, sophisticated regimens, injections or surgery. The most effective anti-aging regimen is good health.

Regenevda recently opened its brand new flagship facility in Beverly Hills, specializing in cutting edge anti-aging treatments such as Stem Cell Therapy.
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) October 12, 2012
Dr. Thom Lobe is an internationally respected surgeon and has been in practice for over 30 years. Consistently pioneering advances in medicine, Dr. Lobe was one of the first doctors to ever separate conjoined twins. Consistently working to help make advances in medicine, Dr. Lobe also has over 200 publications to his credit.
Overseeing the business aspect of Regenevda is Lindsey Combs. She is responsible for sales, staff, accounting, facility management, and business development. A graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, Ms. Combs has been working in the anti-aging field for over 10 years and has been a California Licensed Esthetician since 2003.
Being one of the very few physicians in the country to hold the most advanced board certification (FAARM), Dr. Lobe is able to offer Stem Cell Therapy at the Regenevda clinic. Inside each persons own body, there are special cells in nearly every organ and tissue that have the ability to help heal damage. These special cells are called Stem Cells and this therapy works by harvesting these cells from a persons own blood, bone marrow, or fat and can help with different conditions. Some examples of procedures that use Stem Cell Therapy are: Stem Cell Facelifts, Stem Cell Breast Augmentation, and Stem Cell Joint Therapy. Stem Cell treatments are safe, non-invasive, and are done under local anesthesia.
Intravenous Nutrition Therapy (or IV Vitamin Therapy) is another anti-aging and rejuvenation treatment that can also help patients prevent migraines, lose weight, fight chronic infections like hepatitis, candida, lyme disease, as well as fight acute infections like the flu and mono. IV Therapy works by using intravenous solutions to deliver vitamins and minerals directly to the body cells. This bypasses the digestive system and provides a more direct method of delivery, which ensures that all of the nutrients required are delivered, allowing the patient to feel an improvement in condition almost immediately.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Therapy is another advanced treatment offered at Regenevda. HGH is secreted by the Pituitary gland and fuels cell growth and reproduction. This production peaks at adolescence. Over time, due to the effect of aging, the production of HGH slows down dramatically. As production declines, it makes it more difficult for the body to recover from physical and mental exertion. HGH Therapy acts as a supplement for HGH deficient adults to lessen body fat, boost lipid lineament, improve memory, promote bone density, as well as decrease risk factors that involve cardio-vascular conditions. If used at the onset of the decrease in HGH production, HGH Therapy can help curtail early aging and even be used as preventive measure against osteoporosis. A complete analysis of the patients sex hormones, evaluation of glucose regulation and functions of the adrenal gland, thyroid gland, and pancreas are performed before the treatment is administered for optimal results.
Combining decades of medical experience with the most cutting edge advances in medical technology, the Regenevda clinic looks to pave the way for the future of anti-aging treatments. The Regenevda Beverly Hills Institute of Cellular Therapy is located at 50 North La Cienega Boulevard. For any inquiries, they can be reached at 855-734-3638, or visit http://www.regeneveda.com.

Age Management MD Experts Gather in Chicago for Anti-Aging CME Workshop
The contest is being run to celebrate the new partnership between Trimcare and the growing new Las Vegas weight loss and spa services company Safe Laser Centers.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 04, 2012
The "WinShare" contest is called that way because it is based upon an innovative system that rewards social sharing in a way that allows participants to continuously increase their odds of winning during the course of the contest. What happens is that after entering the contest, a very simple one click process, participants are taken to special sharing page form which they can easily share the contest on social media and via email. At this point, for every person who enters the contest through this shared link, the sharer will automatically be awarded 10 additional entries that will be added to their total. Since there are no limits on extra entries or on the sharing timeframe (as long as the contest hasn't finished), prolific sharers can easily amass hundreds of entries to tilt the odds in their favor by having more tickets in the virtual raffle box.
Trimcare has been a pioneer in medically supervised weight loss treatment programs in Las Vegas for over 20 years. Founded by Dr. Ivan L. Goldsmith (triple board certified in the areas of Internal Medicine, Obesity, and Anti-aging),Trimcare is a leader in providing medically supervised weight loss programs. Trimcare has successfully treated over 20,000 patients in the past dozen years with novel obesity regimens designed to curb hunger, promote food avoidance, and extinguish binge or nighttime eating. Its program has successfully incorporated a proprietary brand of supplements, skin care products, food, weight loss programs, and hormone replacement therapies. As a leader in the integrated disciplines of weight loss and anti-aging therapies, Trimcare has been at the forefront of expanding awareness of the nation's Obesity Epidemic.
Safe Laser Centers sees the association with Dr. Goldsmith as a great opportunity to bring new weight programs to the people of Las Vegas. Spearheaded by Kristine Castro, a newcomer to the area who brings to the table expertise with the i-Lipo system and her extensive experience as a massage therapist. "I-Lipo works by delivering low level laser therapy to induce a chemical signal in fat cells that causes them to break down stored triglycerides or fats into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are released through the cell membranes," explains Castro. "Fat content is then released into the blood and transported around the body to tissues where it will be burned off during a period of post-treatment."
By targeting different areas in the body, patients can decide their own priorities such as choosing, for example, to focus on treating their love handles and/or saddle-bag regions. The low level lasers used in the i-Lipo treatment induce the target area to release fat even before exercise is begun. Designed to be used in tandem, the novel medical regimens used at Trimcare, consisting of Phentermine and Topamax, enable patients to make the lifestyle modifications needed to not only promote weight loss, but aid in the difficulties associated with weight maintenance. According to Dr. Goldsmith, Our patients notice the effects almost immediately. The combined therapies successfully cause a decreasing waist circumference, declines in % body fat, and lost pounds. When thus combined, it is not unusual for Trimcare patients to achieve a greater-than-10% weight loss in 90 days which far exceeds what is seen with diet and exercise alone.
Goldsmith and Castro envision expanding the association into other medical facilities and also stand alone clinics both within and outside Las Vegas and hope that this "WinShare" contest will help them show off the amazing non-invasive weight loss and body makeover capabilities of the partnership. The two businesses are passionate about their philosophy of promoting lifestyle style changes, including diet and exercise, as the cornerstone of any successful weight-loss attempt along with the notion of truly minimally invasive therapies or treatment; avoiding procedures like bariatric and plastic surgeries where the attendant risks are much greater for post-op complications and problems. The two companies also seek to facilitate access, offering financing though CareCredit.com
Both companies stress that weight loss needs to be tailored to individual patient needs. According to Kristine Castro, "i-Lipo combined with the Trimcare weight loss regimen allows most patients to take advantage of this treatment with minimum difficulties and provides safe, long term reproducible results as well as immediate effects that achieve a dramatic reshaping of body and reduction of cellulite." Significant results from Trimcare combined with i-Lipo commonly become apparent in as little as 30 days and the system is far less costly than liposuction while involving no pain, needles or downtime. "This is truly remarkable in its simplicity and we can't wait for more people to experience it for themselves," adds Castro. The "WinShare" contest runs from October 1st through October 31st .

Proteonomix, Inc. Announces IRB Approval for Its Clinical Trial of UMK-121 in Patients with End Stage Liver Disease
Following an article published by The Community Voice concerning the dangers of tanning, a representative for Likewise Skincare offers a response.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) September 24, 2012
According to The Community Voice, over 2 million people in the US are diagnosed with skin cancer. The Community Voice article explains that too much UV exposure can lead to melanoma, a serious and life-threatening form of skin cancer. This can be prevented, the article reports, by having limited exposure to UV rays. The article states, The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent group of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine, examined the research on counseling to prevent skin cancer. It issued a recommendation that health care professionals counsel young people ages 10 to 24 years old with a fair skin type about minimizing their exposure to UV rays to reduce their risk.
The Community Voice article advises parents to have children speak with professionals in order to better understand the dangers of indoor tanning and sun exposure. Likewise Skincare, a skincare manufacturer that includes SPF 50 in their products, commends the article. Lisa Shariat, representative for Likewise Skincare, explains, Its important to teach children healthy skincare habits and safe sun behavior early on. Once adolescents understand how damaging UV exposure is for their skin, hopefully they will be encouraged to stay away from tanning beds.
In addition to seeking advice from a health care professional, the article gives various tips to help people protect themselves against damaging UV rays. The Community Voice suggests using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protecting clothing like wide brimmed hats and avoiding tanning beds, sun lamps and the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when UV rays are at their most powerful.
Likewise Skincare was created by board-certified dermatologist and President of Likewise, Inc., Dr. Julie Pena. Likewise daily moisturizers are all-in-one but not one-fits-all. Each moisturizer is formulated with skin-balancing toners to work with your specific skin type. The moisturizers use a variety of anti-aging antioxidants, ultra-protective zinc oxide, and water-resistant ingredients to make sure you're protected.

TheBeautyPlace.com is featuring its newest best-selling skin care formulated for specific types of skin.
(PRWEB) September 29, 2012
If you are in your 20s. Rejoice!, recently mentioned Rebecca, lead beauty consultant of TheBeautyPlace.com. Rebecca stated women in their 20s have plump, soft, and smooth skin. Skin surface cells are constantly renewing. Skin care regimens at this age hassle-free, but Rebecca states good preventative medicine will have any woman welcoming healthy skin well into her 30s. She stated anti-aging products are not necessary, but a gentle skin care line is ideal. She recommended Pevonia Ligne Lavandou Sensitive Skin Cleanser is a concentrated, very gentle, soap-free gel cleanser. It thoroughly improves impurities without disturbing skins natural moisture levels. It is ideal for sensitive skin. At this stage of the game all you have to do is cleanse, moisturize, and apply SPF! stated Rebecca.
A woman in her 30s will start to notice a few lines around the mouth, also called laugh lines, around lips or down the forehead. Rebecca stated a women in her 30s should start experimenting with anti-aging products. She stated to start investing in a moisturizer with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer is for use morning and night. It contains vitamins A, C, and E, and powerful antioxidants to help firm skin's appearance and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. At this age, a woman should continue with gentle skin care cleansing, but start to exfoliate 1-3 times a week to renew skin. Sunscreen application is recommended.
Women in their 40s and 50s experience dramatic hormonal changes which directly affect how skin looks. At this stage, the sun damage received during the late teens and early twenties will start to show. Skin will become drier and thinner, and that is the reason for the signs of aging. Women in this age group should wash morning and night with a gentle cleanser Jan Marini Bioglycolic Cleanser that exfoliates glycolic acid. The reason for exfoliating twice a day is because the outer layer of skin does not shed as efficiently.
Rebecca commented a hydrating moisturizer with natural ingredients will keep skin supple and smooth. Eye creams are highly important because the skin around the eye is delicate. Rebecca recommends a multi-tasking eye cream like Dr. Brandt Lineless Eye Cream. It promises to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, and nourishes fine skin around the eye with botanicals, vitamins, and antioxidants.
60s and 70s skin care needs changes drastically and her face may look smooth and well-kept, but her hands show your true age, said Rebecca. A brightening formula like NIA24 Sun Damage Repair for Decolletage and Hands uses Niacin to diminish hyperpigmentation and balance skin tone. Ruddy skin on dcollet is smoothed significantly. This antioxidant rich creams smooths and hydrates while lightening dark spots.
