Award Winning Medical Spa Goes Beyond Skin Deep

Youthtopia MedSpa is the recipient of two prestigious awards, Best of the Best Reader’s Choice Award of 2008 as Top Spa in Alpharetta, and the Best of CitySearch in the Atlanta Area. Recently, Youthtopia became the only spa in the country offering an innovative new program, together with corporate partner LifeStem of California, to bank patient’s stem cells. Clients can have small amounts of healthy stem cells extracted, harvested and stored for later use. Experts believe that stem cell technology holds the promise for treatment, cure and possible prevention of many major diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

“Stem cell banking used to be something only the rich and famous did, because of the extraordinary cost factor,” says Marla Brown, owner of Youthtopia, “and even then it required a complicated bone marrow extraction process.” LifeStem’s banking process involves three simple outpatient procedures - two blood draws done in the comfort and privacy of the spa and one extraction of fatty tissue from the abdomen done by Youthtopia’s physician, Dr. Ajay Kumar.

Offering this unique preventative form of health care ties in with the spa’s overall health mission, as banking stem cells is potentially the best investment for long term health. “We are delighted to be on the cutting edge of this type of technology and the promise that it holds,” adds Brown.
