"I think fat is the future. It's the largest source of adult stem cells in the body, and it's the lowest hanging fruit."
Out of all the topics we've covered as we approach our 100th episode of The Technology of Beauty, regenerative aesthetics might be the most exciting of them all. Just imagine telling a patient, "We can remove excess fat from your thighs and use it to make you look younger and healthier."
Once the stuff of dreams, regenerative aesthetics may soon become a scientific fact. And according to Dr. Derek Banyard, CEO of Sayenza Biosciences, it could be here in a meaningful way as early as Q1 2025.
The power of regenerative medicine lies in using the patient's own cells for autologous, personalized healing. Fat, while an abudnant source of stem cells, must first undergo time-consuming processing, making it clinically inefficient for regenerative purposes.
That's where Sayenza enters in. The company has developed an automated device that is says allows practitioners to process fat in under 15 minutes — creating a potent, ready-to-use therapeutic in a fraction of the time previously required. Proposed aesthetic use cases include hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and post-operative wound healing, in addition to a wide range of general medical applications.
Tune in for a forecasted view of what the future holds for Sayenza, and regenerative aesthetics at large, on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.
