Harness Your DNA to Rejuvenate with ALMI™

We’re excited to offer the DNA-based biologic procedure Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injections (ALMI™), which uses your own regenerative tissues to turn back the clock on aging. This unique and innovative treatment offers an all-natural alternative to manufactured fillers for our patients who want more than just temporary fullness to cheeks or hands. ALMI/Microfat Transfer is not just a filler, it is a sophisticated compilation of regenerative biologic material. Although it does restore volume with living cells, it also delivers replacement cells to tissues that are aging and failing. In doing so, the failing tissues are revitalized with new cells, thus rejuvenating the area with DNA-based material that is unique to you. Unlike commercial fillers, ALMI/Microfat Transfer can be used virtually anywhere in the body. Although the face and hands are popular, other areas include the scalp for hair restoration and vaginal tissues to name a couple.

How ALMI/Microfat Transfer Regenerates for the Long Term

In the ALMI/Microfat Transfer procedure we harvest your body’s adipose cells (fat) which are rich in regenerative cells. In fact there are more regenerative cell stored in fat than there are in bone marrow which is commonly used for stem cell transplantation. The cells are then processed to separate the fat cells from the regenerative cells. The fat cells are also processed into a smaller size for the ease of injection into the tissues for restoration of volume. Since the fat cells are living tissue, they will live in the area to which they are placed and develop a blood supply, which enables these cells to maintain the volume addition for an extended length of time (can exceed two or more years).

The Next Step: A Boost from PRP

Once the regenerative cells are placed in the tissue, platelet rich plasma (PRP) is added to the same tissue plane, also by injection, to enhance and augment the cellular repair and regenerative processes. This two-step process creates a biologic environment rich in regenerative cells as well as growth factors. The growth factors from the PRP “trigger” your body to repair and restore injured cells in the surrounding tissues, wherever they are injected. The regenerative cells transform into the cells that are damaged beyond repair- actually replacing them to build more tissue. Your body then gets to work doing what it’s made to do: regenerating capillaries (bringing back a rosy glow to your skin), increasing hyaluronic acid (returning moisture for a dewy complexion), and growing the fibrin matrix (adding skin thickness as well as new elastin and collagen).

Why We Love ALMI/Microfat Transfer

Now you understand why we’re so excited about ALMI/Microfat Transfer! It’s more than a filler or volumizer, it regenerates, transforms and repairs, turning back time. Even better? The entire procedure occurs in-office, takes only 1-2 hours and has minimal-to-no downtime. In addition, it has shown to be longer-lasting that traditional injectables in most cases. If you’re looking for a natural solution to aging, ALMI/Microfat Transfer is your “go-to” biologic for DNA-based rejuvenation!

ASK DR. MAHONY

Fat transfer procedures are appropriate for many adults who would be interested in dermal fillers. This process is similar but involves the restoration of volume via the introduction of autologous fat cells, cells that are harvested from the patient’s body. Our ALMI Microfat transfer process enhances the potential of the fat transfer with the addition of adjunctive substances including PRP.

If you are a healthy adult who would like to correct signs of aging that are caused by volume loss, you may be a good candidate for the ALMI Microfat transfer procedure. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, can be performed to address the following:

  • Deep smile and frown lines
  • Sunken temples
  • Hollow cheeks
  • Thin lips
  • Scars
  • Skin depressions
  • Contour irregularities
  • Aging hands
