If you’ve been exploring innovative cosmetic treatments in Las Vegas, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about the buzz surrounding stem cell therapy. From rejuvenating aging skin to accelerating post-surgical healing, this cutting-edge, non-surgical procedure is transforming the way we approach beauty and recovery. At Smith Plastic Surgery, stem cell therapy is more than a trend—it’s a cornerstone of our regenerative approach to patient care.
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about stem cell therapy in Las Vegas, including what it is, how it works, and what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the body’s own cells—typically harvested from adipose (fat) tissue—to repair, renew, and regenerate damaged skin and tissues. When injected into targeted areas, these powerful cells stimulate natural healing processes, boost collagen production, and help restore youthful skin texture and elasticity.
Unlike traditional surgery, stem cell therapy is minimally invasive, meaning you can enjoy noticeable results without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended downtime. It’s particularly effective in treating:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging or thinning skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Scarring or sun damage
- Post-surgical swelling and recovery
Why Las Vegas Patients Are Turning to Stem Cell Therapy
Las Vegas is a city that thrives on appearance, performance, and fast recovery. That’s why stem cell therapy at Smith Plastic Surgery is gaining traction among locals and visitors alike.
Patients choose this regenerative solution for a number of reasons:
- Natural rejuvenation without synthetic fillers or toxins
- Accelerated healing after surgical procedures
- Long-lasting results with gradual improvements over time
- Minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime
- Safe and effective when performed by a board-certified expert
At Smith Plastic Surgery, our use of stem cell therapy is supported by years of clinical experience, industry-leading techniques, and a personalized treatment approach.
How the Procedure Works
Stem cell therapy is typically performed in three phases:
1. Harvesting
Your surgeon extracts a small amount of fat (usually from the abdomen or thighs) using gentle liposuction techniques. This process is quick, safe, and done under local anesthesia.
2. Processing
The fat is purified and processed to isolate high-quality stem cells. This step ensures the most potent regenerative properties are retained for injection.
3. Injection
The stem cells are then injected into the treatment area—such as the face, neck, or surgical site—using fine needles. These cells begin to work immediately, stimulating healing and skin rejuvenation from within.
The entire procedure is typically completed in under two hours.
What to Expect Before Your Appointment
Prior to undergoing stem cell therapy, you’ll meet with one of our experienced providers for a comprehensive consultation. This includes:
- Reviewing your medical history and current health
- Identifying your aesthetic goals or healing concerns
- Explaining the stem cell process and expected outcomes
- Discussing pricing and available
financing options through CareCredit, PatientFi or Alphaeon
You’ll receive customized pre-treatment instructions to ensure optimal results, such as staying hydrated, avoiding blood thinners, and refraining from smoking.
Aftercare and Recovery Timeline
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and downtime following the procedure. You may notice mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, but these effects typically subside within a few days.
Here's what a typical recovery looks like:
- Day 1–3: Mild swelling and tenderness; avoid strenuous activity
- Week 1: Most side effects resolve; visible skin texture may begin to improve
- Weeks 2–4: Collagen regeneration begins, with continued improvements in tone and elasticity
- Months 1–6: Ongoing rejuvenation and enhanced skin quality as stem cells continue to repair tissue
Patients who receive stem cell therapy as part of a surgical procedure—such as a facelift or tummy tuck—often report faster healing, reduced bruising, and smoother overall results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Stem cell therapy is ideal for adults seeking a natural alternative to traditional cosmetic treatments. You may be a candidate if you:
- Want to reverse signs of aging without surgery
- Are preparing for or recovering from a plastic surgery procedure
- Prefer a holistic, regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
During your consultation, our team will help determine whether stem cell therapy alone—or in combination with other treatments—is best for your needs.
