Combination Therapy
Apply Cell Factor post-laser to accelerate healing, minimize downtime, and amplify results. Compatible with all laser modalities including CO2, fractional, and hair removal treatments.
Understanding Cell Factor for Skin
Laser treatments alone trigger controlled tissue damage and wound healing responses, but applying Cell Factor immediately post-laser creates a synergistic effect that exceeds either therapy individually. Laser creates enhanced tissue permeability and activates regenerative cascades, while Cell Factor delivers over 400 growth factors and extracellular vesicles (exosomes) that accelerate healing and amplify collagen remodeling.
Unlike standalone laser (which relies on endogenous healing) or topical growth factors (which have limited penetration), this combination therapy maximizes regenerative outcomes while minimizing downtime. Cell Factor reduces post-laser inflammation, accelerates epithelial healing, and enhances collagen synthesis—compatible with all laser modalities including CO2, fractional, RF, and hair removal.
This acellular, DNA-free approach eliminates the risks associated with live cell therapies while delivering superior results through optimized timing. Applying Cell Factor immediately post-laser enables Cell Factor’s nanoscale particles (30-150 nm) to penetrate laser-treated tissue, activating regenerative pathways essential for accelerated healing and enhanced aesthetic outcomes.
Why Combine Laser + Cell Factor

Reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk by accelerating healing and modulating melanocyte activity—particularly important for darker skin types and aggressive laser protocols.
Compatible with all laser modalities: CO2, fractional, RF, IPL, and hair removal. Acellular technology with FDA Section 361 classification—safe for repeated post-laser application.
Applied immediately post-laser when tissue permeability is maximized, ensuring optimal Cell Factor penetration and regenerative signaling activation for superior outcomes.
The Science
This combination therapy leverages two complementary mechanisms: laser creates controlled tissue damage and enhanced permeability while Cell Factor provides regenerative signaling for accelerated healing and amplified results.
Laser treatments create controlled thermal damage that temporarily enhances tissue permeability, enabling superior Cell Factor penetration. This delivers extracellular vesicles (exosomes) directly to dermal fibroblasts and regenerative cells when they’re most receptive to signaling.
Cell Factor’s 400+ growth factors dramatically reduce post-laser inflammation while accelerating epithelial healing. While laser alone relies on endogenous healing, adding Cell Factor provides exogenous regenerative signals that shorten recovery time.
Post-laser Cell Factor application amplifies collagen synthesis and remodeling beyond laser alone, delivering superior long-term aesthetic results:
Traditional stem cell therapies introduce living cells with DNA that must survive and integrate. Cell Factor delivers only the therapeutic secretome—the bioactive factors stem cells produce—without the cells themselves.

Common Questions
Initial pain reduction and improved mobility are often noticeable within 2-4 weeks as inflammation decreases. Deeper regenerative effects—including chondrocyte proliferation, cartilage matrix redeposition, and structural improvements—continue to develop over 3-6 months. Clinical trials demonstrate significant pain reduction and improved WOMAC scores at 6-month follow-up. Your BHRC provider will schedule follow-up assessments to track progress and optimize your treatment plan.
Clinical research shows significant improvements after a single Cell Factor treatment session. However, optimal results typically require a series of treatments tailored to your specific joint condition and regenerative goals. At BHRC, we typically recommend 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for initial therapy, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months. This is considerably fewer sessions than PRP, which typically requires 5-6 treatments over 6-16 months for comparable joint function improvements.
Cell Factor is effective for knee osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, cartilage damage, chronic joint pain, and post-injury joint dysfunction. It works by reactivating chondrocyte activity and restoring the signaling environment necessary for cartilage matrix production and inflammation reduction. During your consultation, our medical team will assess your specific joint condition to determine the optimal Cell Factor protocol for you. Cell Factor excels at addressing osteoarthritis, degenerative changes, and regenerative support for active individuals seeking non-surgical solutions.
Cell Factor is delivered via intra-articular injection directly into the joint space. The injection involves minor discomfort similar to other joint injections. We use fine needles and can apply local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Most patients report the treatment is well-tolerated with only mild temporary discomfort. Any soreness or swelling at the injection site typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
Yes! Cell Factor works synergistically with other joint therapies. Many patients combine Cell Factor with physical therapy, hyaluronic acid injections, supplements, or regenerative procedures. In fact, Cell Factor may enhance the effectiveness of these therapies by amplifying regenerative signaling and reducing inflammation. It’s particularly powerful as part of a comprehensive joint health strategy. Discuss your current treatments and functional goals with your BHRC provider during consultation to develop a comprehensive regenerative plan.
Cell Factor delivers 400+ growth factors compared to PRP’s 7-25, providing higher potency and diversity of bioactive molecules. Clinical studies show Cell Factor produces significant joint function improvements after a single session, while PRP typically requires 5-6 sessions over many months. Cell Factor offers consistent, standardized potency regardless of your age or health status, while PRP quality varies by patient. Cell Factor is also DNA-free (eliminating tumor risk), requires no blood draw, and has superior tissue penetration due to nanoscale size. Both have value, and your provider can help determine which is optimal for your specific joint condition.
Clinical trials report favorable safety profiles for Cell Factor joint therapy. Because Cell Factor is acellular and DNA-free, it eliminates risks associated with living cell therapies. Most reported side effects are mild and transient: temporary soreness, minor swelling, or local irritation at the injection site, typically resolving within 24-48 hours. Rare cases of delayed granulomatous reactions have been reported in regenerative medicine literature. Our medical team uses sterile technique and high-quality sourcing to minimize any risks.
Cell Factor holds FDA Section 361 tissue classification, which classifies it as human tissue rather than a drug or biologic. This means it is not FDA-approved as a drug, but rather regulated under human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/P) regulations. Unlike live-cell therapies that require extensive FDA approval as drugs or biologics, Cell Factor’s acellular, DNA-free formulation qualifies for this less complex regulatory pathway. We provide full transparency about regulatory status and ensure you’re completely informed before treatment.
Joint regeneration results from Cell Factor can be long-lasting, but maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 6-12 months to sustain optimal joint function and pain reduction. Joint degeneration is an ongoing process influenced by genetics, activity level, and aging—Cell Factor addresses the biological mechanisms but doesn’t permanently halt these underlying factors. Think of Cell Factor as creating an environment where chondrocytes can produce cartilage matrix optimally, but that environment benefits from periodic reinforcement to maintain results over time.
Traditional joint treatments like corticosteroid injections work by suppressing inflammation temporarily, while hyaluronic acid injections provide lubrication without addressing underlying cartilage damage. Cell Factor is a regenerative therapy that directly stimulates chondrocyte activity and cartilage matrix production through biological signaling—it requires minimal downtime and works with your body’s natural healing mechanisms. Many patients use Cell Factor as part of a comprehensive joint health strategy, or as a standalone treatment for joint regeneration where true cellular repair is the goal rather than temporary symptom relief.
