Stem cell is actually a miracle!
Stem cell therapies, which are of special interest to me, can indeed be called a miracle. You always hear about stem cells in aesthetic applications, but do you know what they are?
Stem cells are cells that can transform into all kinds of cells. Bone, cartilage, liver, muscle, muscle, tooth, hair... They can turn into all the cells you can think of. Stem cells are the raw products of our body, so to speak, and our body treats and regenerates itself by using the potential of these cells to transform into any type of cell. This is a miracle!
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR OUR INTEREST IN STEM CELLS?
Because we now know better the mechanisms of disease and disease-causing mechanisms and we realize that stem cells can play a key role in repairing these broken mechanisms.
We have realized the power of stem cells' ability to regenerate and this field is developing as the science of regenerative medicine. Stem cell research is now a very important guide for drug studies and experimental treatments.
HOW MANY TYPES OF STEM CELLS ARE THERE?
In general, it is possible to talk about 3 types of stem cells, Embryogenic (of fetal origin), adult type and perinatal (found in cord blood)
WHERE ARE STEM CELLS FOUND?
In fact, stem cells are found in every tissue, but stem cells are not active cells, they are few in number and dormant in our organs, but in the event of loss, injury or disease, they wake up from sleep and become active, repairing the injured tissue by turning into the cell in that tissue. For example, this is how our bone fractures heal, or how our liver regenerates itself, or how our blood cells are renewed. So our stem cells are actually our fountain of life!
We plastic surgeons frequently utilize stem cells in both restorative and aesthetic applications. From healing burns to facial rejuvenation, stem cell therapy is a very effective treatment method in many areas.
OUR SKIN IS OUR STEM CELL SOURCE
Our skin is a good source of stem cells for facial rejuvenation and burn treatment. Stem cells obtained from a skin patch taken from our skin can be multiplied and turned into stem cell vaccines. With cell engineering, it is possible to use these vaccines as skin patches in the treatment of burn patients or as a youth vaccine in facial rejuvenation.
OUR FAT TISSUE IS THE RICHEST PLACE IN TERMS OF STEM CELLS
In the early 2000s, studies shifted our focus to adipose tissue and we realized that adipose tissue is 600 times richer in stem cells than even bone marrow.
And this revolutionary realization encouraged and encouraged us that this magnificent resource can be used for human health and beauty.
HOW DO WE OBTAIN STEM CELLS FROM OUR FAT TISSUE?
This process involves a small amount of fat removal, about half a cup of fat is taken and it is possible to separate stem cells from this fat with special techniques. The stem cell vaccine obtained is either alone or combined with adipose tissue to obtain STEM CELL-RICH FAT GRAFTS.
WHY DO WE NEED TO ENRICH FAT INJECTIONS WITH THE PERSON'S OWN STEM CELLS?
Stem cells belonging to the person themselves are risk-free and have healing properties. We can use fat injections enriched with stem cells in different ways. It can be used as a supportive treatment for fat tissue in areas of sagging, such as the face, neck, décolleté and hands, where tissue loss and aging are evident. In addition, we can provide the healing of deformation in tissues caused by different reasons in this way. For example, it is possible to restore the sunken areas caused by an accident to their natural state with these injections.
WHERE DO WE USE STEM CELL-RICH FAT INJECTIONS IN THE FACE AREA?
Fat injections are often used for rejuvenation and anti-sagging treatment in the face area. Lifting our sagging cheek volume and collapsed mid-face upwards is possible and effective with stem cell-rich fat injections. At the same time, stem cells in fat injections also improve our skin quality where they are used.
WHAT OTHER AREAS CAN STEM CELL RICH FAT GRAFTING BE APPLIED?
We can use stem cell-rich fat vaccines in our buttocks, breast shaping, scar removal, leg shaping, genital (sexual) rejuvenation, that is, in every area where we want rejuvenation and healing in our body. As an aesthetic plastic surgeon, I recommend you to experience the miracle of stem cells, youth, vitality and health are in our stem cells...
