ExtraLife
Where the physician who invented adipose stem cell therapy in America performs procedures that other clinics can only read about.
Home to Dr. Todd Malan — triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon, stem cell pioneer, and the first physician in the U.S. to use fat-derived stem cells for soft tissue reconstruction. Cofounded by Dr. Sara of ExtraLife.
This is where a U.S. Army-trained surgeon who pioneered an entirely new field of medicine performs procedures that redefine what's possible in aesthetic and regenerative science.
Most clinics offer aesthetics. Haus of Confidence offers a fundamentally different proposition: what if the same procedure that sculpts your body also harvests the regenerative stem cells that can heal your joints, rejuvenate your skin from the inside out, and potentially treat chronic conditions? That's not marketing. That's the innovation Dr. Todd Malan brought to medicine in 2009 — and it lives here.
Cofounded by Dr. Sara — who also cofounded ExtraLife — Haus bridges the gap between the optimization protocols that transform your biology from within and the aesthetic procedures that express that transformation visibly. Two Scottsdale locations. A team of board-certified specialists. A philosophy that refuses to separate beauty from biology.
The new 2,000 sq ft flagship in Old Town Scottsdale was designed specifically to separate regenerative surgical procedures from traditional beauty services — because stem cell medicine deserves its own space, its own infrastructure, and its own level of precision.
Every body contouring procedure is also a stem cell harvesting opportunity. Every aesthetic outcome comes with a regenerative dividend. This is the philosophy Dr. Malan built his career on — and it's the foundation of Haus.
No technicians performing clinical procedures. No delegated injectables. Every treatment at Haus is performed by a board-certified physician with specialized training in their discipline. This is not negotiable.
Dr. Sara's dual role — cofounder of both ExtraLife and Haus — means your regenerative peptide protocols and your aesthetic procedures are designed as one coherent system, not isolated services.
The physician who didn't just adopt stem cell therapy — he created the field.
In October 2009, Dr. Todd Malan became the first physician in the United States to utilize adipose-derived stem cells for soft tissue reconstruction. He didn't read about it in a journal and replicate it. He built the protocols. He trained the physicians. He published the research. And he proved — with peer-reviewed data — that cosmetic surgery and regenerative medicine are not separate disciplines. They are two expressions of the same science.
His innovation — combining cosmetic liposuction with stem cell harvesting in a single procedure — fundamentally changed the economics and accessibility of regenerative cell therapy. The same fat removed to sculpt the body becomes the raw material for Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) — your own stem cells, isolated, concentrated, and deployed for healing. Today, hundreds of physicians worldwide use protocols he developed.
As Chief Cell Therapy Officer at Okyanos Heart Institute, he extended this work to cardiac patients who had exhausted every standard treatment — proving that adipose-derived stem cells have applications far beyond aesthetics. His 12+ published papers, including textbook chapters for Springer-Verlag, are referenced by hundreds of researchers worldwide. This is the physician performing procedures at Haus of Confidence.
“Our vision is to bridge the gap between aesthetics and true regenerative medicine.”
Became the first physician in the United States to utilize adipose-derived stem cells for soft tissue reconstruction — opening the door to an entirely new category of regenerative medicine.
Performed the first stem cell-enhanced natural breast augmentation in the United States. No implants — just the patient's own fat, enriched with their own stem cells.
Appointed Chief Cell Therapy Officer at Okyanos Heart Institute in the Bahamas, overseeing stem cell harvesting for treatment of no-option cardiac patients who had exhausted all standard care.
Opened a second 2,000 sq ft flagship location in Old Town Scottsdale — separating regenerative and surgical treatments from traditional aesthetics. The vision: a full-spectrum regenerative medicine destination.
The Process
Dr. Malan's signature dual-purpose procedure turns a cosmetic surgery into a regenerative medicine event. Here's how your own biology becomes the most powerful therapeutic tool available.
During body contouring, a small amount of adipose (fat) tissue is collected using water-assisted liposuction — gentle, precise, and minimally invasive.
The fat is processed through Dr. Malan's computerized cell counting system to separate live stem cells (SVF) from debris — quantifying exactly what's available for therapy.
Isolated stem cells are concentrated and activated, preparing them for deployment. Your own biology, refined into its most potent regenerative form.
Stem cells are micro-injected into target areas — whether for natural breast augmentation, facial rejuvenation, soft tissue reconstruction, or investigational regenerative protocols.
A stem cell pioneer and the cofounder of ExtraLife — working together under one roof in Scottsdale.
Cofounder — ExtraLife & Haus of Confidence
The rare physician who operates at the intersection of two worlds. As cofounder of both ExtraLife and Haus of Confidence, Dr. Sara ensures that your internal optimization protocols and your aesthetic treatments are designed as one integrated system — not disconnected services. She understands how peptide protocols, biomarker data, and regenerative medicine create the biological foundation that makes aesthetic procedures more effective, longer-lasting, and genuinely transformative.
Triple Board-Certified Surgeon & Stem Cell Pioneer
The father of adipose-derived stem cell therapy in the United States. Trained at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, published in Springer-Verlag, cited by 364+ researchers, and responsible for training hundreds of physicians worldwide in stem cell protocols he developed. When Dr. Malan performs a body contouring procedure, he's simultaneously harvesting the raw material for regenerative therapies that most clinics don't even offer. This is the level of physician at Haus.
Signature Services
From Dr. Malan's pioneering stem cell procedures to precision injectables and medical weight loss — every treatment at Haus is backed by published research, delivered by board-certified specialists, and designed to compound with your ExtraLife protocol.
Dr. Malan's signature dual-purpose procedure: precision liposuction sculpts the body while simultaneously harvesting adipose-derived stem cells for regenerative therapy. Two outcomes from one procedure — the innovation that changed the field.
The procedure Dr. Malan pioneered in the U.S. — stem cell-enriched fat transfer for natural breast augmentation. No implants. Your own tissue, enriched with your own regenerative cells, micro-injected for lasting, natural results.
Stromal Vascular Fraction — stem cells isolated from your own adipose tissue — deployed for soft tissue reconstruction, joint regeneration, and investigational therapies for chronic conditions. The frontier of personalized medicine.
Precision neuromodulators and dermal fillers administered by physicians who understand facial anatomy at the deepest level. Enhancement that looks like you, only more rested, more refined, more confident.
Physician-supervised metabolic protocols combining the latest in GLP-1 science with peptide optimization and nutritional architecture. Not a crash diet — a metabolic reset engineered for permanence.
Medical-grade chemical peels, microneedling with PRP, and regenerative skin protocols that work at the cellular level. Not spa facials — clinical skin engineering.
Fractional laser, IPL, and collagen-remodeling protocols that reverse photodamage and restore luminosity from the dermis up. Technology-driven, physician-calibrated, compounding with every session.
Harvest, purify, enrich, reinject. Using your own living tissue — augmented with stem cells — to restore volume to the face, hands, and body. The most natural form of rejuvenation that exists.
The ExtraLife Connection
ExtraLife optimizes your biology from within. Haus of Confidence transforms and regenerates from the outside. Dr. Sara bridges both worlds. Together, they create a compounding system that no single practice could deliver alone.
AI-guided peptide protocols, biomarker tracking, and regenerative medicine create the internal biochemical foundation. Your body is primed at the cellular level before any aesthetic procedure begins.
Dr. Malan's dual-purpose procedures sculpt the exterior while harvesting your own stem cells for regenerative deployment. Every aesthetic procedure becomes a regenerative medicine opportunity.
