Adipose-derived stem cell treatment is a method of skin rejuvenation that uses the body's natural healing mechanism. Using stem cells obtained from the person's own fat tissue, this treatment eliminates wrinkles, blemishes and laxity in the skin. This innovative method, which makes the skin look firmer, brighter and younger, has gained an important place in aesthetic medicine by offering natural and long-lasting results.
Adipose-derived stem cell treatment is a form of regenerative medicine that uses the body's natural healing mechanism to treat various conditions. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with a unique ability to differentiate into specific tissue types and to renew themselves. Stem cells can be of two types: embryonic stem cells, which can differentiate into any cell of the body, and adult stem cells, which have the ability to differentiate into specific cell types. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC’s) are adult stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells) with multipotent differentiation and self-renewal properties. They are most commonly isolated from fat tissue in the abdominal area using procedures such as liposuction or the direct excision technique. ADSC’s are able to turn into collagen-producing fibroblast cells, which give the skin its taut, youthful appearance and decrease over time. The stem cells taken from your own body are concentrated so that they can multiply. Your plastic surgeon then injects the adipose-derived stem cells into the skin of the face, neck, décolletage or hands where firmness has decreased and wrinkles and blemishes are present.
Benefits of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Treatment
The advantages of adipose-derived stem cell treatment over other anti-ageing procedures are:
It turns into collagen-producing cells that give the skin its firmness
It eliminates brown pigmentation in the skin caused by pregnancy, the sun or smoking
It eliminates fine wrinkles in the skin
It gives the skin a bright, fresh and more vibrant appearance
It has a tightening effect on the skin
Because the stem cells are taken from your own body, there is no immune rejection
As people age, cell death in the body increases, and this causes the skin to age. However, thanks to modern science, it has now become possible to restore the lost cells to the skin and thus rejuvenate it. Adipose-derived stem cell treatment for aesthetic purposes has emerged as an innovative method for rejuvenating the skin. This treatment uses stem cells obtained from fat tissue taken from the body. These cells have the capacity to renew the structural elements of the skin. Adipose-derived stem cells reduce the signs of ageing by making the skin firmer.
Hand, Face and Neck Rejuvenation with Stem Cell Treatment
What Keeps the Skin Young?
The main elements that preserve the young and fresh appearance of the skin are connective tissue and the fibroblast cells responsible for collagen production. Fibroblast cells keep the skin strong and taut. The activity of these cells generally remains high until the age of 28-30, which makes the skin look young and vibrant during this period.
When and How Does the Skin Start to Age?
The skin's ageing process generally begins at the age of 28-30. At this age, fibroblast cells and connective tissue begin to decrease by approximately 2% per year. As a result, by the age of 40 approximately 20% of the fibroblasts in the skin have been lost. Consequently, the skin loses its firmness, and wrinkles and sagging occur. The death of fibroblast cells leads to the breakdown of the skin's network and damage to collagen structures, which makes the skin look older.
Is It Possible to Repair the Skin and Maintain a Youthful Appearance with Stem Cell Treatment?
Yes, with stem cell treatment it is possible to keep the skin young by renewing the fibroblast cells that decrease with ageing. This process allows the skin to regain its natural youthfulness and freshness and to preserve it for a long time.
How Is Aesthetic Skin Rejuvenation with Stem Cell Treatment Performed?
Fat taken from beneath the skin of the abdomen using a special liposuction technique is put through a special process (lasting 45 min-1 hour) to obtain stem cells. The stem cells obtained are injected beneath the skin with fine needles. The patient is advised not to wash the treated area for 24 hours. Although the effect of the stem cells is seen after approximately 3 months, in some people a brighter, more vibrant look begins to appear in the skin from day 45. It can be applied in a single session. For a repeat application, it is recommended that at least 6 months or 1 year should pass.
Face: By addressing problems such as wrinkles, fine lines, ageing, blemishes caused by the sun, pregnancy or smoking, and acne scars, it makes the face look younger, brighter and more vibrant. Neck, Double Chin and Décolletage: By treating skin laxity, wrinkles and blemishes in these areas, it gives a firmer and younger appearance. Hands: It reduces visible veins and pigmentation caused by the loss of subcutaneous tissue in the hands.
Contributions of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Treatment to Skin Health
Adipose-derived stem cell treatment has various positive effects on skin health. By increasing collagen production in the skin and encouraging new cell growth, the treatment provides deep renewal. It also increases the skin's capacity to retain moisture, giving it a fuller, fresher and more vibrant appearance. The treatment is ideal particularly for skin that has sun damage, has blemishes and is dealing with the effects of ageing.
Advantages of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Treatment for Skin Rejuvenation
Adipose-derived stem cell treatment offers important advantages in the field of skin rejuvenation. Because cells taken from your own body are used, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal. With this method, the skin is rejuvenated naturally and long-lasting results are achieved. After the procedure, patients can quickly return to their daily lives on the same day, with minimal pain and a fast healing process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the risks of skin rejuvenation with stem cells?
Because the person's own cells are used, skin rejuvenation with stem cells is generally safe and minimises allergic reactions and other health risks. By replacing depleted cells with new ones, this method erases the signs of time in a natural and healthy way.
Is there an age limit for skin rejuvenation with stem cells?
There is no specific age limit for skin rejuvenation with stem cells. The treatment can generally be applied when a person begins to see signs of ageing in the skin, which is typically possible from the age of 28-30 onwards.
Can skin rejuvenation with stem cells be repeated?
Yes, skin rejuvenation with stem cells can be repeated when necessary, depending on the person's age and skin condition. This ensures that the skin is continuously renewed and stays young.
When are the effects of skin rejuvenation with stem cells seen?
After skin rejuvenation with stem cells, the effects appear gradually because the growth of cells beneath the skin continues. Marked improvements in the skin are generally observed within 3 months after treatment.
