The skincare industry has long chased quick fixes — temporary plumping, aggressive resurfacing, and short-lived glow. But true skin transformation doesn't happen on the surface. It happens deeper, at the cellular level.
That's where regenerative skincare changes everything.
At Art of Skin Care, regenerative skincare isn't just a concept — it's something we actively practice. This blog is about what happens when regenerative skincare is put into action through a real treatment protocol, real skin, and real results at any age. Even 86.

From Theory to Practice: What Regenerative Skincare Looks Like in Real Life
Regenerative skincare works by supporting the skin's natural ability to repair, renew, and communicate effectively. Instead of forcing results, it restores function — encouraging collagen production, improving cellular signaling, and strengthening the skin barrier over time.
To bring this philosophy to life, we developed a treatment protocol that delivers professional-grade regenerative results without a clinic setting.
Introducing the CellRenew Regenerative Infusion Facial
Formerly known as the PowerCell Facial, we've updated and renamed this treatment to better reflect what it truly does: renews skin behavior at the cellular level.
The CellRenew Regenerative Infusion Facial is an advanced, non-invasive protocol you can perform at home using professional tools and clinically backed regenerative ingredients. This isn't a spa facial — it's a structured skin-reset designed to activate repair, resilience, and radiance from within.
What Makes This Facial Regenerative?
Unlike traditional facials that focus on exfoliation or hydration alone, this protocol is designed to:
- Enhance cellular communication
- Support collagen and elastin production
- Accelerate healing and repair
- Strengthen skin structure and resilience
It works with the skin's natural intelligence — never against it.
Key Benefits of the CellRenew Regenerative Infusion Facial
Activates collagen and elastin production
Improves firmness and elasticity while softening the appearance of fine lines.
Improves tone, texture, and clarity
Refines pores, smooths roughness, and restores luminosity.
Accelerates healing and repair
Ideal for aging skin, post-acne scarring, sun damage, and barrier-compromised skin.
Non-invasive and needle-free
No downtime, no pain — just intelligent skin renewal.
How to Do the CellRenew Regenerative Infusion Facial at Home — Step by Step
For optimal results, this protocol can be performed:
- 3 times in one week for intensive renewal
- Once weekly for 4 weeks
- Then monthly for maintenance
Step 1: Deep Cleanse & Skin Preparation
A double cleanse ensures optimal ingredient penetration and cellular receptivity.
First Cleanse: GlyMed Plus Glycolic Cleanser with 10% Glycolic Acid.
Glycolic acid works by breaking the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating exfoliation and loosening the buildup that dulls skin and blocks absorption. Think of it as unlocking the door.
Second Cleanse: Dr. esthé Enzyme Deep Clear Powder Wash
Where glycolic breaks the bonds, enzymes finish the job — digesting and sweeping away the loosened dead cells to leave skin genuinely soft, refined, and fully receptive to the regenerative ingredients that follow. The result is a clean canvas at the cellular level, not just the surface.
Pro Tip: Pair this step with LED light therapy or microcurrent to boost ATP production and cellular energy before infusion.
Step 2: Nano-Infusion Activation
Using the Art of Skin Care Nano Infusion Pen with a sterile, single-use nano cartridge:
- Green Light – Level 2: Delicate or sensitive areas
- Red Light – Level 3: Rest of the face
The skin is continuously slippery with Epicutis Lipid Serum throughout this step, allowing smooth glide and comfort. The nano channels created dramatically increase absorption of the regenerative ingredients applied in Step 3, while simultaneously triggering the skin's natural repair response — without injury, without downtime.
This is the step that sets everything that follows apart from a standard topical application.
Step 3: Exosome-Powered Regeneration
Immediately following nano-infusion, apply ( plated )™ Skin Science Intense Serum directly to the skin while channels are open and absorption is at its peak.
Why exosomes — and why now?
Exosomes are nanoscale, membrane-enclosed vesicles naturally produced by cells as precision delivery vehicles. They carry a complex cargo of growth factors, proteins, and microRNA directly into skin cells — not just onto the surface, but inside the cells where regeneration actually happens. Research confirms that exosomes are a primary active component of stem cell conditioned media, and when isolated and concentrated as in ( plated )™, they represent the most targeted regenerative delivery available in topical skincare today.
Applied immediately after nano-infusion, exosomes penetrate far deeper into the follicle and dermal environment than they would through intact skin — dramatically amplifying their regenerative effect.
Benefits include:
- Boosted collagen and elastin production
- Reduced redness and inflammation
- Improved tone and texture
- Faster post-treatment recovery

Step 4: CO2Lift Pro Carboxy Mask — Recovery & Oxygenation
The protocol finishes with the CO2Lift Pro Carboxy Gel Mask, which creates a topical hyperbaric oxygen environment that enhances healing and locks in the regenerative work of the previous steps.
Benefits:
- Instantly plumps fine lines
- Brightens and evens skin tone
- Minimizes pore appearance
- Soothes redness and sensitivity
- Strengthens the skin barrier
After 45–60 minutes, gently remove the mask. Skin appears calmer, firmer, more translucent, and deeply hydrated.
Why I Believe So Strongly in Regenerative Skincare
My passion has always been skincare that respects the skin’s intelligence. Regenerative skincare aligns perfectly with that belief—it doesn’t chase trends or quick fixes. It supports long-term skin health, resilience, and confidence at every age.
This is skincare that helps skin behave better, not just look better.
Meet Maxine: Proof That Regeneration Has No Age Limit
Maxine is 86 years old. And her skin is transforming.
Her results aren't the product of injectables, clinic procedures, or aggressive treatments. They're the result of consistent, intelligent regenerative skincare — the same protocol described above, performed at home.
Maxine's skin reflects what happens when you stop fighting the aging process and start supporting the biology behind it. Improved firmness. Better texture. More even tone. A luminosity that comes not from a filter, but from skin that is genuinely functioning better.
This is what regenerative skincare looks like in practice. At every age.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this at-home regenerative facial really deliver professional results?
Yes, when the right tools and ingredients are combined correctly. The CellRenew protocol pairs nano-infusion technology with exosome serums and carboxy therapy, creating a level of ingredient penetration and cellular activation that standard topical application cannot achieve. It's not a substitute for every professional treatment, but for regenerative skin renewal, it delivers results that rival in-clinic protocols.
What skin types and ages is this facial suitable for?
This protocol is suitable for all skin types and is specifically designed to perform at every age — as Maxine's results at 86 demonstrate. It is particularly beneficial for aging skin, sensitized or barrier-compromised skin, post-acne scarring, sun damage, and anyone seeking non-invasive alternatives to injectables or clinic procedures.
How is nano-infusion different from microneedling?
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin's wound-healing response. Nano-infusion uses ultra-fine silicon tips to create temporary channels in the skin's surface without injury or downtime. Both dramatically increase ingredient absorption, but nano-infusion is gentler, requires no recovery time, and is safe for more skin types — including sensitive and reactive skin.
Why are exosomes applied immediately after nano-infusion?
Nano-infusion temporarily opens channels in the skin's surface, creating a window of dramatically increased absorption. Applying ( plated )™ exosome serum at this moment allows the regenerative cargo — growth factors, proteins, and microRNA — to penetrate far deeper into the skin than it would through intact skin. Timing is everything in this step.
How often should I do the CellRenew Regenerative Infusion Facial?
For intensive renewal, perform the protocol 3 times in one week. For ongoing improvement, once weekly for 4 weeks, followed by monthly maintenance. Consistency is key — regenerative skincare works cumulatively, with results building meaningfully over weeks and months.
Can I use this protocol alongside other treatments like microneedling or peels?
Regenerative ingredients are complementary to most professional treatments and can accelerate post-treatment recovery significantly. If you are undergoing active professional treatments, consult your esthetician or dermatologist about timing and sequencing. The exosome serum in particular is well suited for post-procedure application.
