The beauty industry has experienced seismic change over the past few decades, evolving from a ‘one size fits all approach’ to a now varied range of bespoke treatments readily available, which utilise ground-breaking advancements in technology and science. When it comes to cosmetic procedures, practitioners now offer a diverse range of options for patients of all skin types; this marks significant progress from the days in which Vaseline was a holistic answer to all skin concerns, to now, Uvence – a new-age innovative treatment which utilises one’s own cells to rejuvenate the skin (Uvence.co).

How it works

Uvence creates its personalised products from a patient’s own fat cells, which are extracted by an initial micro or mini liposuction. Uvence harnesses the rejuvenating properties of active molecules found within these cells to help improve the look, feel and complexion of problem areas of the skin; including the face, neck, décolletage and hands. Unlike other treatments, the procedure uses completely natural and 100% personalised extracts, which will work only with each individual patient’s skin with no risk of rejection.

Uvence filters the adipose tissue to a standardised level – the first time that this has ever been done worldwide – allowing for a uniform re-application of the cells into a patient’s skin with a replicable outcome. Once purified, a patient’s “super enriched tissue” can then be stored for up to five years in a regulated Uvence cryopreservation facility. This gives patients and their doctors the option to have multiple treatments from a single extraction over many years, either as follow on treatments or targeting different areas for rejuvenation. The standardisation of the procedure gives comfort that each treatment will be as reliable as the last, and the time efficient nature of the treatment enables patients to receive a high-quality rejuvenative filler treatment over lunch, with no recovery time required.

Dr Olivier Amar discusses the fusion of science with beauty, and the future of the beauty industry:
“Looking back on the past few decades within the cosmetic industry, it is clear to see that science is at the heart of beauty. As we have scientifically advanced over time in medicine, so too have the treatments now readily available to patients.

The Uvence offering allows access to regenerative and personalised treatments and is the biggest advance in the field for nearly 15 years. In terms of accessibility and convenience this has never been seen before – the treatment can be carried out within 30 minutes with no recovery time, and, the cryopreservation capability allows plastic and cosmetic surgeons alike to provide this treatment on a consistent basis to their patients without the need for further liposuction or tissue extraction.

It is hugely exciting to see the next step in standardisation and quality for this kind of treatment, as Uvence allows cosmetic doctors and clinics across the country to offer a high-end regenerative cosmetic procedure in their arsenal of treatments, thereby opening up a whole new sector of the market and a new influx of patients.”
