Where young skin lives
Skin firmness is held by fibroblasts in the dermis: they produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. With age there are fewer of them — and the skin loses its “scaffold.”

Anti-Age cellular programme
The anti-age programme in Boao Lecheng works on wellbeing, tone and skin condition. It can combine cellular and peptide methods, infusion support and LaViv technology using your own fibroblasts. This is not plastic surgery or “guaranteed rejuvenation”: a physician determines the composition and realistic expectations.
- Outpatient
- LaViv — your own fibroblasts
- Effect over weeks and months
- Follow-up at 3 / 6 / 12 months
About the method
What is Anti-Age programme
Anti-age here is a programme built around you, not one universal procedure. It may include NK and MSC approaches, peptide complexes, infusion nutritional support and LaViv technology. A physician assembles the composition after diagnostics.
LaViv deserves particular note — an FDA-approved technology using your own fibroblasts. Fibroblasts live in the dermis and produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid — the very “scaffold” of young skin. With age there are fewer of them, and skin loses firmness. From a small skin sample taken behind the ear, the best cells are selected in the lab, your own fibroblasts are expanded (within three “generations”) and returned to the skin. Your own cells do the work — so the effect comes gradually and lasts longer than fillers. The technology's scientific board includes Robert Langer (MIT), James Byrne (UCLA) and Daniel Anderson (MIT).
This is not plastic surgery or “guaranteed rejuvenation.” The programme works on wellbeing and skin quality, and noticeable changes unfold over weeks and months.
How it works
The principle
Your own cells are grown
From a tiny skin sample behind the ear, the best fibroblasts are selected in the lab and your own cells are expanded (the LaViv technology) — no fillers, no foreign substances.
Returned to the skin
The expanded fibroblasts are returned. Your own living cells do the work — so the effect comes gradually and lasts longer than fillers.
A combination for your goal
By indication, LaViv is combined with NK, MSC, peptides and infusion support — a physician assembles the composition.
Scientific basis
Origin and scientific basis
Facts about the method's origin, standards and quality control — what trust is built on. This is not a promise of a result: a physician decides whether it's right for you.
- History of the method (LaViv)
Autologous fibroblast technology developed in the US from the 1970s: the first clinical study in 1995, FDA approval in 2011.
- Global experience
The method has been used worldwide for many years; in the cluster — by indication and after diagnostics.
- The patient's own cells
The patient's own fibroblasts are used, prepared in the centre's GMP cell-engineering lab.

Who it's for
This may be relevant to you
Most people who consider this method recognise themselves in situations like these. It's not a prompt for self-treatment — whether it fits your case is decided by a physician after consultation and diagnostics.
- You notice you tire faster
Energy, sleep and wellbeing have dipped, and skincare doesn't solve it.
- You want a natural result
You're after a result based on your own cells, without fillers or Botox and without changing your expression.
- You notice tired skin
Tone, firmness and freshness aren't what you're used to.
- You look beyond skin
You want to support energy, sleep and overall wellbeing, not just appearance.
- You act preventively
You prefer to address age-related changes early, to an individual plan.
The moment
Quite possibly what you've been looking for
LaViv is a technology that is hard to find even with means: only a handful of clinics in the world offer it — and one of them is here. If you want a natural result built on your own cells, with no fillers and no foreign substances, this is precisely that case. The first step is light: photos and a questionnaire online; a physician sets the programme's composition and realistic expectations.
Why patients consider it
Why patients consider this method
These are reasons for interest in the method, not a promise of outcome: the physician sets the final decision and realistic expectations.
- Only your own cells
LaViv is the first autologous cell technology in aesthetic medicine to receive FDA approval. Your own fibroblasts do the work — the effect develops naturally and gradually.
- Built around you
The composition — NK, MSC, peptides, nutritional support — is chosen by a physician for your specific goal.
- Pedigree and standards
The technology has been recognised with the Edison Award (2013), the Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award (2012) and the American Medical Golden Bridge Award (2012); developed with a US scientific board. GMP / ISO control.
- Privacy and control
Outpatient, confidential, with a personal coordinator and follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Indications
When it may be considered
The programme is tailored individually. A physician determines suitability and composition after consultation.
- Signs of tired skin, reduced tone and firmness
- A wish to support skin quality without fillers or Botox
- Post-acne and scar changes of the skin
- Support for wellbeing, sleep and energy — by indication
- Prevention of age-related changes; accompaniment of detox programmes
Safety
Standards and quality control
The approach is built around patient safety and verifiable quality.
- LaViv — FDA-approved technology; recognised with the Edison Award (2013)
- Only the patient's own cells or registered products
- Multi-stage GMP / ISO control, single-use sterile materials

Process
How it goes
- 1Online consultation
Photos and a questionnaire for a preliminary assessment.
- 2Examination and diagnostics
In-person examination on Hainan, documentation of the condition.
- 3Material collection (LaViv)
A small skin sample under local anaesthesia, 30–40 minutes.
- 4Laboratory phase
Cell culture to GMP / ISO standards.
- 5Procedures
1–3 sessions of cellular and peptide therapy.
- 6Follow-up
Review at 3, 6 and 12 months.
The programme aims at wellbeing and skin quality; the result is individual and not guaranteed. The effect develops gradually, usually over weeks and months. Realistic expectations are discussed with the physician.
Outcomes
What to expect, and how progress is assessed
- A gradual, natural effect
Unlike fillers, there's no instant volume: your own fibroblasts settle in and work over weeks and months.
- Review at 3, 6 and 12 months
Dynamics are documented at scheduled visits and the skin's condition is compared over time.
- What it targets
Skin quality, tone and firmness and overall wellbeing — without changing your expression or a “mask” effect.
- Honest expectations
This is not plastic surgery or “guaranteed rejuvenation”: the result is individual and not guaranteed.
Safety
Risks, tolerability and contraindications
Openness about safety is part of a responsible approach.
- Only your own cells
LaViv uses your own fibroblasts — no rejection reaction and no foreign substances.
- Local reactions
After administration, temporary redness, swelling, small bruises or discomfort at injection sites are possible — usually resolving within a few days.
- Material collection
A small skin sample is taken under local anaesthesia (behind the ear); the incision is usually hidden under the hair.
- When it isn't performed
Contraindications usually considered include active skin infections in the area, pregnancy, certain autoimmune and oncological conditions — the physician decides.
Safety
Safety and support
LaViv is not a “beauty procedure” but a cellular biotechnology: your fibroblasts are grown in the GMP laboratory of the cell-engineering centre, under the protocol of an FDA-approved technology whose scientific board includes researchers from MIT and UCLA. The sample is taken under local anaesthesia, the incision usually hidden under the hair. Only your own cells do the work — no fillers, no foreign substances. And then a year of follow-up: review visits at 3, 6 and 12 months, with a coordinator in touch and telemedicine after you return home.
Cost
Indicative cost
From approx. ¥8,000 (≈ $1,100); LaViv — ¥288,000 (≈ $40,000)
