Beauty & Regeneration Blog
At Medical Aesthetics Regenerative Center (MARC), we specialize in helping you achieve healthy, glowing skin with the most advanced and effective aesthetic treatments available. One of our most requested services? The DermaFrac facial — a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers visible, long-lasting results with zero downtime.
What Is DermaFrac? A Next-Level Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
DermaFrac is a powerful combination of microchanneling (a gentler alternative to microneedling) and deep serum infusion, designed to improve your skin from the inside out.
This advanced facial treatment uses a precision roller with fine, medical-grade needles to create microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate natural collagen production, enhancing skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture.
Simultaneously, medical-grade serums are delivered deep into the skin — targeting issues like acne, fine lines, dullness, and dehydration right at the source.
Customizable Serums Tailored to Your Skin Concerns
At MARC, we believe every face is unique — and your treatment should be too. That’s why your DermaFrac experience includes one of four targeted serums:
Clarify – For oily or acne-prone skin. Combats breakouts with salicylic and lactic acids while calming inflammation.
Rejuvenate – For aging or tired skin. Contains peptides and antioxidants to reduce fine lines and boost firmness.
Hydrate – For dry, dull, or sensitive skin. Deeply moisturizes and strengthens the skin barrier with hyaluronic acid and botanicals.
Growth Factor – Ideal for mature or damaged skin. Delivers bio-identical peptides to promote cellular regeneration — especially effective when paired with PRP.
Take It Up a Notch: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
For even more powerful results, upgrade your DermaFrac facial with PRP therapy, also known as the PRP facial.
Using your body’s own platelet-rich plasma, we harness growth factors that stimulate skin cell turnover, accelerate healing, and amplify collagen and elastin production. When PRP is infused through the microchannels created during your DermaFrac treatment, it penetrates deep beneath the surface delivering dramatic improvements in:
- Skin texture and tone
- Pore size and scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Overall radiance and hydration
This natural, regenerative anti-aging solution is safe, effective, and ideal for anyone looking to enhance their skin without surgery or chemicals.

Chronic pain, arthritis, and sports injuries like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and degenerative joint conditions can significantly impact your quality of life. At Medical Aesthetics Regenerative Center (MARC), we offer advanced regenerative therapies, including Stem Cell Therapy from Bone Marrow and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from Peripheral Blood Draw, to effectively treat these conditions. But what's the difference, and which one might be right for you?
What Is Stem Cell Therapy from Bone Marrow?
Stem cells have the unique capability to regenerate and repair damaged tissue. Bone marrow-derived stem cells are particularly valuable because they contain potent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have exceptional regenerative properties. Harvesting these cells involves a minimally invasive procedure, typically from the pelvic bone, to extract marrow rich in these healing stem cells.
Advantages of Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy:
- Potent Regenerative Capacity: MSCs harvested from bone marrow possess powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, directly stimulating tissue repair.
- Ideal for Severe or Chronic Conditions: Effective for advanced arthritis, severe sports injuries, degenerative joint disorders, and chronic pain, particularly when significant regeneration of cartilage, tendons, or ligaments is necessary.
- Long-Term Relief: Results are often robust and sustainable, improving joint function and reducing chronic pain for extended periods.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from Peripheral Blood?
PRP therapy uses your own blood, drawn from the arm just like a routine blood test. The blood is spun in a centrifuge, isolating the platelet-rich plasma, a highly concentrated source of platelets, growth factors, and cytokines. PRP injections promote accelerated tissue healing and inflammation reduction.
Advantages of PRP Therapy:
Non-Invasive & Quick: Requires only a simple blood draw, making the procedure convenient and quick with minimal discomfort.
- Effective for Mild-to-Moderate Injuries: Ideal for less severe arthritis, tendinitis (such as tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow), or early-stage joint degeneration.
- Cost-Effective & Easily Accessible: Offers a more affordable treatment option that can be repeated if necessary.
Comparing Treatments: Stem Cells vs. PRP
Both treatments harness the body’s natural ability to heal itself, yet they serve distinct purposes:
Factor | Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy | PRP from Peripheral Blood Draw |
---|---|---|
Harvesting Procedure | Minimally invasive bone marrow extraction | Simple blood draw from the arm |
Primary Mechanism | Regenerative mesenchymal stem cells | Growth factors and healing proteins |
Ideal Condition Severity | Moderate-to-severe or chronic degenerative issues | Mild-to-moderate inflammatory injuries |
Treatment Sessions Required | Typically one session, occasionally repeated after evaluation | Can be repeated regularly as needed |
Recovery Time | Minimal, slightly longer due to the harvesting site | Minimal, quick recovery |
Expected Results Timeline | Progressive improvement over weeks/months | Noticeable improvement within weeks |
Conditions Treated by Both Therapies:
Both therapies effectively address conditions such as:
- Arthritis (Knee, Shoulder, Hip): Stem cells typically recommended for advanced arthritis with extensive cartilage damage; PRP beneficial in early-stage arthritis or maintenance therapy.
- Sports Injuries (Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow): PRP often suitable for mild/moderate inflammation, while chronic or severe injuries may require stem cell therapy.
- Chronic Degenerative Joint Pain: Bone marrow-derived stem cells typically offer a better prognosis for long-standing degenerative conditions due to their regenerative capabilities.
Choosing the Right Treatment for You
Selecting the right regenerative therapy depends on the severity and nature of your condition, your overall health, treatment goals, and individual preferences. At MARC, our team, led by Dr. William Hunter, a board-certified neurosurgeon with extensive experience in regenerative medicine, carefully evaluates each patient, designing personalized treatment plans to provide optimal relief and improved function.
