Through this exclusive collaboration, we offer our clients the groundbreaking opportunity to preserve their own live stem cells.

Using a quick, non-invasive hair follicle collection, we extract and cryopreserve your younger, healthier cells, halting the aging process at the cellular level. These cells remain viable for life—giving you access to future breakthroughs in regenerative medicine and regenerative aesthetics.

With the evolution of medical regenerative technologies, what once seemed futuristic is now a reality! Beginning in 2025, Acorn Biolabs launched Secretome treatments—a revolutionary approach to after-procedure tissue healing, skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. Derived entirely from your own stem cells, Secretome treatments offer a significantly safer, more consistent, and much more effective alternative to traditional PRP and exosome-based therapies.

Beyond aesthetic benefits, stem cell banking opens the door to possible future therapeutic applications such as joint repair, neurodegenerative support, and even organ regeneration.

What Is Stem Cell Preservation?

stem cell banking in waterloo kitchener cambridge area in Ontario canada

Stem cell preservation or stem cell banking is a process of collecting and cryogenically storing your young, healthy stem cells for future medical and cosmetic use. At Sunshine Cosmetic Clinic & Medi Spa, we’ve partnered with Acorn Biolabs to offer a completely non-invasive method using stem cells derived from hair follicles. These stem cells are safely stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C, preserving them in their most youthful, potent state—indefinitely.

Why does this matter? As we age, our cells naturally lose their regenerative power. By banking your stem cells today, you’re locking in their current vitality and ensuring access to future innovations in regenerative therapies, advanced aesthetic treatments, and even personalized medicine.

How to Collect and Bank Your Stem Cells?

Acorn Biolabs, a global leader in regenerative medicine, has developed a revolutionary, non-invasive method to collect stem cells from hair follicles. These follicles are a rich, multi-germ cell source containing a diverse array of valuable tissues and regenerative stem cells, making them an ideal and accessible starting point for long-term therapeutic and aesthetic applications. Not only are these cells easily expandable in culture, but they are also reprogrammable, unlocking the potential for future breakthroughs in personalized and regenerative medicine.

The 4-Step Process

Step 1: In partnership with Acorn Biolabs, a trained technician at our clinic will gently pluck approximately 50 hair follicles from the sides and back of your scalp. The process is quick, painless, and completely non-invasive.

Step 2: Your follicles are securely sent to Toronto General Hospital, where Acorn Biolabs’ specialists analyze their viability and extract the stem cells.

Step 3: Once extracted, your stem cells are cryogenically frozen at -196°C, halting all cellular aging and preserving them in their healthiest state for decades to come.

Step 4 (Optional): Using a small portion of your stored cells, Acorn can create a personalized stem cell–derived cosmetic treatment, ideal for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

Your stem cells remain safely stored and fully accessible, giving you the freedom to leverage them for emerging regenerative medicine treatments as the science evolves.

The Future Is Now - Advanced Secretome Treatment

What was once the future of aesthetics is now a reality. As regenerative aesthetics continues to advance, Acorn Biolabs officially launched Secretome treatments in 2025—a groundbreaking innovation in skin rejuvenation and hair restoration, derived entirely from your own stem cells.
