The therapy and the expected aesthetic results could be obtained with the insertion, into the affected regions, of the cells containing rich growth factors, which is obtained from your own blood or stems cells containing building blocks of the skin, which are produced and multiplied from the tissues taken from the back of the ear with a mini-
