Episode Transcript
Today is July 19, 2024. Imagine preserving your youthful cells now to use them later for aesthetic enhancements and regenerative treatments. Thanks to Acorn Biolabs, this is possible. Founded by Dr. Drew Taylor, Acorn Biolabs has developed a noninvasive, follicle-based cell cryopreservation service. For $200 a year—about the same as a streaming service subscription—you can bank your cells for the future.
Dave Elliot, the Director of Partner Success at Acorn Biolabs, emphasizes that the process is simple and noninvasive. They collect stem cells by plucking hair follicles, avoiding painful procedures like bone marrow extraction. These follicles are then preserved under controlled conditions, producing valuable growth factors and matrix molecules over 28 days.
These preserved cells are rich in essential components like collagen and hyaluronic acid, crucial for skin and hair health. By banking these cells now, you can use them later for various regenerative treatments. This means your aesthetic treatments can be ultra-personalized and future-proofed against aging.
Merz Aesthetics, led by Chief Medical Affairs Officer Dr. Terri Phillips, has invested in Acorn Biolabs. This partnership aims to expand research into using your own cells for treatments like hair and facial rejuvenation. Using your own cells means safer, more effective treatments without the risk of allergic reactions or incompatibility issues.
Acorn Biolabs is also looking into future product development for a range of treatments. They are currently in clinical trials for specific use cases like post-laser treatments and scalp microneedling. Their goal is an open platform where you can use your preserved cells for various FDA-compliant therapies.
That’s all for today’s update. Thanks for tuning in!
