Stem cell therapy is a non-invasive treatment that aims to replace damaged cells in the body. Accordingly, with mesenchymal stem cell therapy, it can be placed systematically by IV or locally injected to target specific areas, depending on the needs of the patient.
Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine designed to repair damaged cells in the body by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system. Therefore, stem cell therapy is considered a viable form of treatment for various medical conditions. Stem cell therapy is used to treat autoimmune, inflammatory, neurological, orthopedic conditions and traumatic injuries, with studies for Crohn’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, COPD, ALS, Parkinson’s, stroke and more.
While stem cell therapy does not provide an absolute cure for these conditions, the premise is to allow the body to heal itself enough for long-term alleviation of the symptoms of the conditions. In many cases, this effect can significantly improve patients’ quality of life and delay disease progression.
Stem cells can be obtained from many different sources. These include adipose, umbilical cord tissue, placental tissue, umbilical cord blood or bone marrow. Stem cell therapy can be applied by IV stem cell therapy (intravenous administration), intrathecal (directly into the spinal canal), and injection methods to problem areas.
Mesenchymal Stem cells use self-renewal, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, signaling and differentiation properties to effect positive change in the body. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) also have the capacity for self-renewal by dividing and developing into numerous specialized cell types found in a particular tissue or organ. Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells, meaning they have no ethical concerns, MSCs are not derived from embryonic material.
The therapeutic uses of stem cells as a potential treatment for various diseases have been studied in detail, and the number of clinical trials with mesenchymal stem cells has increased exponentially in the last few years. Stem cells have a unique, intrinsic property that attracts them to inflammation throughout the body. Research has shown that stem cells can regenerate damaged or diseased tissues, reduce inflammation, and modulate the immune system leading to better health and quality of life. Mesenchymal stem cells do this by influencing tissue repair either by paracrine effects (cell signaling to change the behavior of existing cells) or by direct cell-to-cell contact.
Stem Cell Therapy Is Also Used in Aesthetic Procedures
Traditionally, dermal fillers are used to plump the volume in the face area, lift the cheeks and increase blood flow to achieve a younger appearance. Stem cell therapy is one of the best methods for facial rejuvenation. Facial rejuvenation procedures with stem cells benefit from the healing properties of stem cells collected from the body’s fat. And it becomes a more natural alternative to dermal fillers. Many scientists and doctors agree that adult stem cells derived from PRP and fat accelerate tissue healing, lead to the growth of new blood vessels and produce a younger skin glow. That’s why today doctors prefer to use stem cell treatments to smooth wrinkles and improve skin texture and tone.
To understand why stem cells are used as a facial rejuvenation treatment method, it is necessary to understand what stem cells and their functions are. Of the trillions of cells that make up the human body, stem cells are arguably the most interesting category. They have the potential to be a needed cell type that can transform between cell types in the body, replacing worn-out and damaged cells they encounter.
There are many stem cells in adipose tissue. When stem cells are transplanted to different parts of the body, many of them grow and help form new tissue in the transplanted areas. A significant improvement is achieved in these tissues by using the regenerative properties of stem cells together with the transplanted fat.
Stem cell facial rejuvenation treatment is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure that uses stem cell science to allow the body to create more collagen and fill the tissues with healthy blood flow, resulting in a bright, vibrant and youthful appearance.
Facial rejuvenation with stem cells is a simple method that takes cells from fat tissues, blood and bone marrow and is used to restore the elasticity, smoothness and softness of the skin. In addition to giving the face a livelier and more youthful appearance, it also reduces the need for temporary fillers. It is very comfortable as it is a procedure that does not require surgery and does not require any open incisions. Stem cell therapy helps to improve the contour and shape of the face, improve skin color and irregularities caused by normal aging, and heal scars caused by exposure to sunlight and environmental influences.
Stem cell therapy is an ideal treatment method for those who have early or mild signs of aging on their face and who want to rejuvenate their skin without going under the knife. It is the perfect solution for people who want less wrinkles, more defined cheekbones or just the removal of other signs of early or mid-aging.
