Cell Factor is an acellular, DNA-free stem cell therapy that delivers the bioactive factors produced by stem cells — including over 400 growth factors and extracellular vesicles (exosomes) — without transplanting living cells. This approach harnesses the regenerative power of stem cells while eliminating risks associated with cellular therapies like tumor formation and immune rejection.

Traditional stem cell therapy involves transplanting living cells that must survive, integrate, and differentiate in the body. Cell Factor delivers only the therapeutic secretome (the bioactive factors that stem cells produce) without the cells themselves. This means no DNA, no cell viability concerns, no tumor risk, and immediate bioavailability of therapeutic molecules. Research shows acellular therapies provide comparable regenerative potential with superior safety profiles.

Cell Factor holds FDA Section 361 tissue classification, which classifies it as human tissue rather than a drug or biologic. This means it is not FDA-approved as a drug, but rather regulated under human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/P) regulations. Unlike live-cell therapies that require extensive FDA approval as drugs or biologics, Cell Factor’s acellular, DNA-free formulation qualifies for this less complex regulatory pathway. We provide full transparency about regulatory status and ensure you’re completely informed before treatment.

At Hydration By Lisa, we offer Cell Factor for hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, joint therapy, and enhanced healing following aesthetic procedures. We integrate Cell Factor with microneedling, laser treatments, Sculptra, Botox, Emsculpt, and IV nutrient therapy to amplify results. Our medical team will assess your aesthetic goals during consultation to determine if Cell Factor is right for you.

At Hydration By Lisa, we deliver Cell Factor through multiple administration routes tailored to your treatment goals: topical application (post-microneedling or laser), subcutaneous injection for facial rejuvenation, intra-articular injection for joint therapy, intravenous infusion for systemic benefits, or intranasal administration. Our providers will recommend the optimal delivery method during your consultation.

Treatment protocols at Hydration By Lisa vary by application and individual goals. For hair restoration, we typically recommend a series of 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, though some patients see improvement after a single session. Skin rejuvenation often shows visible benefits after one treatment but achieves optimal results with a series. Joint therapy may require 1-3 injections. Your Hydration By Lisa provider will develop a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

Clinical trials report favorable safety profiles. Because Cell Factor is acellular and DNA-free, it eliminates risks associated with living cell therapies including tumor formation, immune rejection, and unwanted cell proliferation. Most reported side effects are mild and transient (temporary redness, swelling, local irritation). Rare cases of delayed granulomatous reactions have been reported in aesthetic literature. Proper medical oversight, sterile technique, and high-quality sourcing are essential for safety.

Results vary by application. For skin rejuvenation, improvements in texture and glow may be visible within 2-4 weeks. For hair restoration, clinical studies show visible improvements beginning at 2-3 months with continued progress over several months. Joint therapy patients often report pain reduction within weeks, with continued improvement over 3-6 months. Cell Factor works by activating your body’s natural repair mechanisms, so results develop progressively as tissues regenerate.

Yes! Cell Factor is designed to enhance virtually any aesthetic or regenerative treatment. It combines synergistically with microneedling, all laser modalities, Sculptra, Botox, dermal fillers, Emsculpt, IV nutrient therapy, and more. Think of Cell Factor as a universal enhancer that amplifies your body’s healing response and optimizes treatment outcomes. This is our differentiator — we make everything better.

Cell Factor delivers 400+ growth factors compared to PRP’s 7-25, providing higher potency and diversity of bioactive molecules. Unlike PRP (which varies by patient age and health), Cell Factor offers consistent, standardized potency. Clinical studies show Cell Factor produces significant improvements after a single session, while PRP typically requires 5-6 sessions. Cell Factor is also DNA-free, requires no blood draw, and has superior tissue penetration due to nanoscale size. Both have value; your provider can help determine which is optimal for your goals.
