“Dr. Sears,” Jen L. called out to me. “I want to show you something…”
I was in the Gold and White Grand Ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, the historic landmark home built by cereal heiress Marjorie Post – and the current home of former President Donald Trump.
I was taking a 10-minute break during my Palm Beach Anti-Aging Summit when this enthusiastic woman rushed over to talk.
Jen rolled up her right sleeve to show me her forearm. “I burned myself badly here,” she said, pointing to a 3-inch area above her wrist. “I was taking a heavy roasting pan from the oven when the rack seared my skin.”
I saw the smallest, faint mark, but nothing that would indicate any kind of serious injury.
It turns out there wasn’t much to see because Jen had treated her wound with the plant-based stem cell serum I use with my patients at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine.
“I used the serum you talk about in your letters,” she shared. “And my scar healed it… completely.
“Now I’m using the formula on my face, neck, and décolletage,” Jen told me. “I’m in awe of what it can do.”
Jen’s fading scar didn’t surprise me. The serum she used features malus domestica – a rare tart apple with a unique feature.
This fruit is able to repair its skin just like new if it’s punctured or cut. The secret comes from plant stem cells that transform the apple from wounded to healed. Whenever there is an injury to the apple, a special molecule sends out an SOS signal that turns on growth factors inside the apple. Then stem cells in the plant respond by getting to work repairing and rebuilding.1
Human Stem Cells Respond in the Same Way…
Your body can harness these same healing factors to repair and regenerate your skin. But it doesn’t just make scars disappear.
Research shows these medical-miracle growth factors are also the secret to making aging skin young again.
You already know that stem cells are your body’s master cells. All other human cells are made from them. Stem cells are also the ultimate natural cure, and can help your body heal itself.
Whenever you have damaged skin, stem cells travel to the injured site. They act as first responders. They tell the local cells and tissues what to do to heal.
Growth factors are biochemical messengers from these stem cells. They carry the message to make more cells so that tissues can regenerate with new growth. Until recently, the only way to get growth factors was through stem cells taken from bone marrow – which can be difficult.
Now we know we can isolate these factors from plant stem cells. And it’s changing the future of skin care.
In a study published in the Journal of Applied Sciences, researchers used a 3-D mapping technique to determine the results of using plant stem cells on human volunteers. They found that 100% of patients had the depth of their wrinkles decrease 15% – in less than a month.2
And in another study, the apple stem cells stimulated new skin cell growth by 100%.3 Additional clinical studies show that stem cells from plants can:
- Tighten sagging skin.
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Visibly erase fine lines around your eyes.
- Restore a more youthful complexion.
- Drench your skin in hydration.
- Smooth uneven skin tone.
Reveal Younger Skin Immediately
At my clinic, I use this rare apple extract after performing a procedure that combines platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) with microneedling. You may have heard it called a vampire facial.
Microneedling9797 involves using a device studded with very fine needles that vibrate. The needles break some of the blood vessels directly below the surface of the skin. As the blood clots, it creates the right conditions for your skin to start to rejuvenate itself.
Then we apply PRP. Platelets contain hundreds of growth factors that attract even more stem cells to your face. It’s fast and relatively painless. And women get great results.
If you’re interested in learning more about this anti-aging procedure, please call 561-784-7852. My staff at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine will be happy to answer all your questions.
To Your Good Health,
