Sounds like BS to me. You can't just inject tissue into someones body. An immune response would develop, and the tissue would be rejected, unless by a remarkable coincidence the tissue was a match. Perhaps they are matching the tissues, and that is why it costs so much. But it would be much easier to inject a small quantity of raw hamburger, and claim that it was stem cells, the results would be the same. The immune system of the recipient would not allow stem cells or any other foreign cells to survive the trip from the injection site to the wrinkled skin.
Also, the statement that the tissues fetuses are "cryogenically frozen" sounds a lot like the e-mail that claims Microsoft or AOL will pay you 1000 dollars if you forward this e-mail to enough people, and the writer says he knows what he is talking about because he is a lawyer. It's just BS. Why not just freeze it, instead of cryogenically freezing it? Because cryogenic freezing sounds so much better when you are trying to appear credible.
I don't doubt that there are women who would go to get this sort of purported treatment, vanity knows no bounds, really. And it is possible that fetal tissue is being marketed this way. But it just doesn't add up scientifically to be a believable story. The treatment would be innefective, just like wrinkle cream.

From their web site:
Another successful use of Fetal Stem Cells is in the field of anti-aging (rejuvenation/longevity).
Destination: Dominican Republic
Medra Clinic
The treatment: Foetal stem-cell injections from £15,000.
Malibu psychiatrist William Rader, 67, previously owned a
string of private clinics in LA dedicated to treating
eating disorders. He recently founded Medra to offer stem-
cell treatments to wealthy clients who wanted to combine a
holiday on the exotic La Romana beach resort in the
Dominican Republic with their stem-cell therapy.
He has arranged for hundreds of patients to be injected
with cells taken from six to 12-week-old aborted foetuses
since the clinic opened its doors. Initial consultations
are done at Rader's LA surgery at Malibu beach.
Arrangements are then made for patients to fly out to the
luxury resort in the Dominican Republic to have the
treatment administered. The promise: According to Medra's
website, the foetal stem cell 'detects and then attempts
to repair any damage or deficit discovered in the body, as
well as releasing growth factors, which stimulate the
body's own repair mechanisms.
'Stem-cell therapy is the future. It's just unfortunate
that there is so much opposition to it in the West,' Rader says.
The reality: Debra Huff-Rader, director of physician and
patient relations, is deliberately vague when I ask where
the foetuses are sourced, saying only that they are from
the former Soviet republic of Georgia. But she invites me
to speak with Rader himself.
'Because Rader is acting outside America, his work falls
outside U.S. regulations on stem-cell therapy,' says Dr
Minger. 'Patients risk at best wasting a lot of money on a
treatment that is not proven in clinical trials and at
worst one that is putting their health at serious risk.'
