represents a revolutionary shift in how we approach aging.
As the lines between aesthetics and wellness continue to blur, more patients are seeking treatments that not only improve their appearance but also support their overall health. At the forefront of this movement is Thomas Su, MD, a cosmetic surgeon and pioneer in both aesthetic artistry and regenerative medicine. His approach emphasizes that true beauty radiates from within—and that lasting transformation begins at the cellular level.
Su, known for his groundbreaking Celebrity Arms™ Liposuction technique, has expanded his focus to include regenerative therapies such as VSEL stem cell treatments. These therapies aim to enhance vitality and support the body’s natural healing processes, offering a comprehensive strategy for aging that goes far beyond surface-level enhancements.
“Traditional cosmetic procedures like Botox and fillers are helpful for a quick fix, but they don’t truly improve the underlying health of the skin or body,” Dr. Su explains. “Stem cell therapy is different; it helps rejuvenate the body from within, making aesthetic improvements a byproduct of better overall health.”
Stem cell therapy, and specifically the use of Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSELs), represents a revolutionary shift in how we approach aging. These dormant regenerative cells are naturally present in the body and can develop into any tissue type. Using advanced technology, Su activates these cells to restore and rebuild tissues, supporting skin health, collagen synthesis and cellular regeneration.
“The skin is the largest organ of the body,” says Dr. Su. “And for it to look youthful, it must be healthy on a cellular level; that’s what stem cells help us achieve.”
By targeting the dermal and subdermal layers—such as the fibroseptal meshwork, superficial fat layer and supporting musculature—VSEL stem cell therapy addresses the foundational structures that give skin its firmness, elasticity and glow. This internal approach results in more natural and longer-lasting improvements in appearance.
However, Su emphasizes that regenerative therapies require patience and consistency. “Stem cells aren’t an instant fix like injectables,” he says. “But over time, they contribute to healthier tissue, which creates a more youthful look from the inside out.”
Dr. Su also sees the growing popularity of these therapies as part of a larger shift toward vitality-focused aging. His patients are increasingly interested in maintaining energy, performance and long-term wellness—not just erasing wrinkles. He believes that aesthetic medicine is evolving into a more holistic field, where cellular health and physical appearance go hand in hand.
While procedures like Celebrity Arms™ Liposuction remain core to his practice, Su encourages patients to explore regenerative therapies as part of a longer-term health and beauty plan. “Looking great isn’t just about contouring anymore,” he says. “It’s about restoring your body’s ability to heal, renew and thrive.”
As regenerative medicine continues to develop, Su remains committed to offering advanced, evidence-based treatments that align with his philosophy of complete, inside-out transformation. Whether through artistic liposuction or cutting-edge stem cell therapies, his work empowers patients to reclaim their vitality and reveal their most radiant selves.
