OLDSMAR, Fla., Aug 25, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Time. It is a precious commodity. Yet most women would agree that there never seems to be enough of it. And the small amount of time a woman spends on doing something just for herself usually pales in comparison to the time she invests in others. This reality has led many women in need of quality time to seek out "quick fixes" at day spas, and most recently medical spas, where services and procedures can be costly. However, the benefits for these pricey treatments are usually fleeting, with no real long-lasting, therapeutic effects.

 

Now, thanks to the cutting-edge research and technology of C'elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, a woman can do something positive for herself while also potentially helping her family.

 

In fact, the latest science has revealed that stem cells, harvested from a woman's own menstrual blood may be used in treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

 

With C'elle's affordable collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be utilized for cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies or sports medicine.

 

"C'elle offers women the unique opportunity to bring the focus back on themselves in a way that is lasting and long term without being time-consuming or invasive," said Michelle Fox Kay, Director of Marketing for C'elle. "We live in a society where women do not have a lot of time to spare on doing something healthful for themselves, and unfortunately, this can negatively impact the way a woman handles her health today and in the future. C'elle gives women the tools necessary to do something proactive that may affect her, and possibly her family, in the long run."
