Where Science Meets Skin

Charleston's most scientific solution for skin health

THE SCIENCE

Regenerative medicine in aesthetics uses the body’s own biological materials to stimulate natural healing and aim to restore skin function from the inside out. It’s not about changing how you look, it’s about restoring what’s been lost, in the most natural way possible.

The Breakdown

With age and environmental exposure, your skin’s natural repair systems slow down and declines in function.

COLLAGEN

Slows, leading to fine lines, sagging, and volume loss

ELASTIN

Weakens, causing skin to lose firmness and elasticity

BLOOD SUPPLY

Inflammation increases, impairing skin repair and accelerating breakdown

CELL TURNOVER

Slows, making skin appear dull, rough, and uneven

HYPERPIGMENTATION

Pigment becomes irregular, creating dark spots and melasma

The Rebuild

focuses on restoring your skin by stimulating your body's own regenerative Capabilities.

PRP/PRF

Deliver powerful growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin, support new blood supply formation, accelerate cellular turnover and improve cell signaling for repair.

MICRO-NEEDLING

Creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger your skin's natural healing response, increase collagen and elastin, increase cellular turnover and create a better absorption of PRP/PRF

nEUROTOXIN

Temporarily relaxes overactive muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles and prevents deepening expression lines. Compliments nicely with Regenerative treatments.

cLINICAL SKIN CARE

Tailored regimens work synergistically with in-clinic treatments to enhance skin quality and help prolong effects from treatments to maintain longer term results

The Results

Science backed solutions with the core being Regnerative lead to natural and longer term results that will leave you looking like you but better and more confident.

Why it Matters

A study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences recommends platelet concentrations over 1 billion platelets for optimal results, enhancing regeneration, collagen production, and treatment consistency.

At SkinStem Clinic, we take our PRP very seriously and only use the highest quality systems to produce well over 1 billion platelets, most clinics use subpar systems that may not even produce nearly that many which leads to poor quality product.

The Basics

The key components of youthful skin include a strong internal structure.

COLLAGEN

The protein that gives skin firmness and structure

ELASTIN

Allows skin to stretch and bounce back

BLOOD SUPPLY

Healthy circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin

CELL TURNOVER

Allows the skin to naturally shed and regenerate

THE SKINSTEM CLINIC EXPERIENCE

SkinStem Clinic was founded by Ali White, MS, PA-C, a seasoned medical executive and regenerative medicine expert who recognized the need for more than just the traditional offerings that often fall short, producing temporary results and leaving patients looking unlike themselves. After years of personal and professional experience, she created SkinStem Clinic to deliver science-driven, regenerative treatments that restore, strengthen, and enhance the skin’s natural function. The result is a clinic grounded in research, medical integrity, and care that prioritizes real, lasting results through the power of science.

He is a board-certified internal medicine physician and fellow of the American College of Physicians, American College of Osteopathic Internists, and the Society of Hospital Medicine. He earned his medical degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed residency at St. Michael’s Medical Center through Seton Hall University.

With a career deeply rooted in regenerative medicine, Dr. Garzone has performed thousands of bone marrow aspirations and joint injections, and has positively impacted the lives of so many patients. He has served as a principal investigator in regenerative clinical trials and held numerous medical directorships, helping to expand access to advanced biologic treatments.

His extensive work in orthopedic regenerative medicine sparked a broader interest in the potential of regenerative science across other areas of medicine, including aesthetics. This passion ultimately led him to join SkinStem Clinic, where he now applies his expertise to help patients achieve natural, science-backed results.

Meet the gorgeous Marybeth. She came to SSC as a newby to the aesthetic world. She already had an amazing and healthy complexion but her areas of concern were a spot of melasma and then the resting lines on her forehead. She also wanted a treatment to maintain and even enhance her complexion. She opted to not do neurotoxin and was interested in a true regenerative approach. Marybeth made note to the team at SSC that she was very nervous and did not deal well with pain. We took a gentler microneedling approach with PRP for the first time adjusting the depth to maximize the treatment while making Marybeth feel comfortable. She did great through out the treatment and wanted to show everyone the simple healing process!

4 hours after microneedling facial with PRP when rinsed off. Slightly pink and had a slight burning sensation.

The next morning, very pale pink and a slightly rough feeling texture almost like sandpaper.

After working out and putting on morning skincare, increase in redness and burning as expected but very tolerable.

2 days later, first make up application, Marybeth reported that the makeup went on extremely smooth. Still slightly pink.

1 week later with light make up but overall brighter appearance and melasma spot grealtly improving. No more pink.

1 week later with full makeup. Marybeth reported her melasma spot covered much better and her skin texture was very smooth.

2 weeks later, no makeup and looking brighter! The melasma spot was greatly reduced and her complexion was better!

Hannah came to SSC in hopes for a treatment to help with this newer onset acne that started as she entered her mid twenties. It seemed to be hormonal in nature and slighly cystic. She was bothered not only by the appearance but by the pain of how inflammatory it had become. Washing her face and putting on makeup had become painful. She also made mention of how she always had to wear makeup to cover it, even just simple errands because she felt insecure about her natural skin appearance. Her goal was to decrease the acne in general, but also decrease the pain and be able to wear a tinted moisturizer or no makeup and feel confident.

This is 4 weeks after Hannah's first microneedling facial with PRP. She looks incredible and her acne has noticably diminished. She reports no more pain when washing her face or putting on makeup. She also said that it has stopped new acne from starting. Her skin health has greatly improved and she is scheduled for another microneedling facial in the next two weeks. The best part... besides the days she works she is ONLY wearing a tinted moisterizer and is feeling confident!

The above row of photos are the day after first microneedling session with PRP. She had a sunburnt appearance and had some mild pain in her acne areas as to be expected. She said that she could already tell a small difference overnight in just the inflammation from the acne, that is was decreasing.

The below row of photos are day 6 post treatment. She reported that her pain in her acne was greatly diminished to the point that washing her face was much easier. We can also clearly see how much the inflammation had calmed down in the areas of concern and you can see her skin texture was starting to become more even.
