Traditionally, dermal fillers have been used to plump up volume in the facial area and create a more youthful appearance by lifting the cheeks and enhancing blood flow. Thanks to decades of testing and research, a new contender is being utilized to turn back the clock – and it was inside of you all along! Stem cells for skin rejuvenation are the next big thing in cosmetic treatments, and at Premier Plastic Surgery in Pearland, TX, we are excited to bring this option to the greater Houston area. To learn more about this groundbreaking treatment, please read the information below.
Our Houston area office is located in Pearland, TX, conveniently located to see Stem Cell patients in Lake Jackson, Clearlake, Friendswood, Marvel and the surrounding areas of South Houston.
Stem cell treatments are used as non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedures that harness the science of stem cells to help the body create more collagen and fill in tissues with healthy blood flow, resulting in a glowing, youthful appearance. Of the trillions of cells that make up the human body, stem cells are among the few cells in the body that can transform between cell types and have the potential to become a needed cell type and replace worn and damaged cells that they encounter.
A large number of stem cells exist in fat tissue. When stem cells are transplanted with fat in the different parts of their body, most of them grow and exist in these new areas, helping to form new tissue at the transplanted site. By using the regenerative properties of stem cells along with transplanted fat, a marked improvement of these tissues occurs. The treatment helps improve the contour and shape of the face, skin color and irregularities caused by normal aging, and skin imperfections caused by exposure to the sun and environment.

A Houston stem cell treatment is ideal for those with early or mild signs of facial aging who want to rejuvenate their skin without going under the knife. The treatment is perfect for those who want their wrinkles more shallow, their cheekbones more defined, or if you just want to get rid of other early or moderate signs of aging.
The first step in getting a stem cell treatment for skin rejuvenation in Houston is to schedule an in-person appointment with Dr. Hankins at Premier Plastic Surgery. Dr. Hankins will talk to you about your skin’s health history, including any past or chronic skin conditions, your aesthetic goals, the target area, and any concerns you might have. He will then examine areas of your body where the necessary amount of fat can be harvested to supply the stem cells and discuss the best way to tackle the procedure for your medical profile. Remember that this consultation is valuable for asking questions or expressing concerns.
Should he deem you a suitable candidate, Dr. Hankins will create a treatment plan for you, which you can then take to our patient coordinator to schedule and price out. You will also receive pre-operative instructions, which you should take seriously to ensure the most comfortable procedure experience and fastest recovery.
On the day of your stem cell treatment, Dr. Hankins will meet with you to review the steps and goals of your procedure. The procedure is very straightforward and can be performed under local anesthesia. It’s fast, primarily free of pain or discomfort, and does not require hospital visits.
Liposuction is used on belly fat or other fat areas to gently remove stem cells. Stem cells are also harvested from your blood and bone marrow. They are then isolated and injected into the face. The power of stem cells improves skin, tightens it, and makes wrinkles disappear.
The procedure involves injecting stem cells into specific areas of the face, chin, or lips and allowing the specialist to sculpt or remove fat from specific areas to create a facial contour specifically designed to fit each patient’s needs. The entire procedure can take as little as five to ten minutes.
The duration of the procedure’s results depends on the individual’s aging process. Other factors that affect the procedure’s success include poor eating habits, exposure to sunlight, smoking, and proper skin care.
The cost of a Stem Cell Treatment in Houston and Pearland varies depending on the type of treatment and the number of stem cells required. The best way to learn about the total cost of your stem cell skin rejuvenation treatment is to meet with Dr. Hankins so that he can examine your skin and create a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. Once this plan is made, our Patient Coordinator can provide a total price breakdown.

With five plastic surgery fellowships under distinguished mentors in the US and UK, including at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and memberships with the American Board of Pathology (ABP), the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), the American Association of Anti-Aging Medicine (AAAAM), and the Texas Medical Association (TMA), Dr. Hankins is dedicated to delivering exceptional results.

Stem cell skin rejuvenation treatments are generally painless or minimally uncomfortable. Dr. Hankins performs the treatment under local anesthesia or light sedation, so you should be completely comfortable throughout the procedure. You may experience mild swelling or bruising, but this should dissipate quickly.
While most patients should be able to see some incredibly rejuvenating results after a single treatment, you may need a follow-up treatment to meet your ideal aesthetic. Dr. Hankins will be able to inform you exactly how many sessions you will need during your initial consultation.
The results will immediately look and feel completely natural. Still, the benefits of the treatment will take three to six months to fully emerge as the stem cells continually renew themselves. The time it takes to see results depends on the patient and their condition. The stem cells’ rejuvenating effect should become visible about one month after treatment.
Of course, you can! Many of our Houston stem cell skin rejuvenation patients will combine their treatments with other non-surgical procedures, such as an IPL PhotoFacial, dermal fillers, or RF microneedling. When you come in for your consultation, share your aesthetic goals with Dr. Hankins, and he will be able to provide you with some expert treatment recommendations.
Skin rejuvenation with stem cells is completely risk-free. Since it is the patient’s cells being used, the procedure does not bear any allergy or health risks, it only eliminates the effects of time in the most natural and healthy way by simply replacing the diminished cells and makes the person’s skin as it was 8-10 years ago. That being said, some expected reactions to the treatment are as follows:
These complications should be temporary and heal on their own. However, if you begin noticing any long-lasting or concerning reactions, please contact our office immediately.
