Stem Cell Applications

Stem cell applications in the aesthetic field can be used for skin renewal, hair loss treatment, reduction of scars and cosmetic purposes. Here are some examples of aesthetic stem cell applications:

1. Stem Cell Based Skin Renewal: Stem cells can be used to regenerate damaged or aged tissues in the skin. Stem cells can help restore skin firmness, elasticity and youthful appearance by increasing collagen and elastin production in the skin.
2. Hair Loss Treatment: Stem cells can be used to prevent or reduce hair loss by regenerating hair follicles. Stem cell-based hair loss treatment aims to revitalise hair follicles, increase hair density and make hair grow thicker and healthier.
3. Scar Treatment: Stem cells can be used to accelerate wound healing and reduce scars. Stem cells can support the repair of damaged tissues and the regulation of collagen production in the skin, helping to form a smoother skin texture.
4. Filling and Filling Supportive Applications: Stem cells can be used to increase the effectiveness of fillers or to accelerate the healing process after application. Stem cells can help achieve longer lasting effects by supporting tissue regeneration in the area where fillers are injected.
5. Breast Augmentation and Shaping: Stem cells are also used in breast augmentation and shaping surgeries. Stem cell-assisted fat injections involve injecting the patient’s own fat tissue into the breast area. In this way, a natural and permanent breast augmentation or shaping can be achieved.

Stem cell applications are still under development in the aesthetic field and some are used in experimental or clinical studies. Each application should be customised according to the situation and the needs of the patient. It is important to consult an aesthetic specialist to get more information about stem cell applications and to evaluate appropriate treatment options.

How is stem cell applied to the skin?

Different methods can be used to apply stem cells to the skin. Here are some common stem cell application methods:

1. Stem Cell Injections: In this method, stem cells are injected directly under the skin. Firstly, stem cells can be donor-derived or taken from the patient’s own body. The stem cells are injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. Injections are usually performed under local anaesthesia.
2. Stem Cell Assisted Fat Injections: In this method, stem cells are used together with fat tissue. Firstly, fat tissue is removed from the patient by liposuction (fat suction) method. Then, the adipose tissue is processed in the laboratory and the stem cells are separated. The stem cells obtained are injected into the areas determined according to the patient’s needs. This method can be used in skin renewal, scar treatment and filling applications.
3. Stem Cell Creams and Serums: It is claimed that stem cells are used as active ingredients in some cosmetic products. Stem cell creams and serums aim to benefit from the effects of stem cells on the skin by using them in the skin care routine. However, more research is needed on whether the stem cells in these products are real stem cells or their effectiveness.

Stem cell applications can be used for various aesthetic purposes such as skin renewal, scar treatment and hair loss. Each application should be planned individually and performed by a specialised health professional. The application method and process may vary depending on the patient’s needs, preferences and doctor’s recommendations.

How many years can stem cells rejuvenate?

The effect of stem cells on ageing has not been fully established and the subject is still an area of active research. There is no conclusive evidence that stem cell applications reverse ageing. However, stem cells have been observed to help skin regeneration and have the potential to reduce some signs of ageing.

With the use of stem cells, it may be possible to achieve a younger and healthier appearance on the skin. Stem cells can increase collagen and elastin production in the skin, promote cell renewal and tighten skin tissue. As a result, skin tone and elasticity may increase, fine lines and wrinkles may decrease.

However, the effect of stem cell applications may vary depending on individual factors, age, skin type and application method. In addition, the youthful effect of stem cells does not provide permanent rejuvenation, but may provide temporary improvement and skin rejuvenation.

It should not be forgotten that stem cell applications are a treatment method used for aesthetic purposes and do not completely stop or reverse the general aging process of the person. The rejuvenation effect may vary individually and may last for a certain period of time. It is important to consult a specialist to get more information about stem cell applications and to evaluate potential results.

What is the lifespan of a stem cell?

The lifespan of stem cells varies depending on various factors. Stem cells are cells that are naturally present in your body and are constantly renewed. In a healthy individual, stem cells can usually function actively for a lifetime.

However, factors such as ageing, environmental factors, genetic factors and diseases can affect the function of stem cells and the activity of stem cells may decrease during the ageing process. This can lead to a decrease in the ability of tissues to regenerate and repair and the appearance of signs of ageing.

The lifespan of stem cells is still not fully determined and research on the subject is ongoing. Research is aimed at understanding how stem cells are affected in the aging process and how they can affect aging.

As a result, the lifespan of stem cells varies from person to person and depending on various factors. Factors such as healthy lifestyle choices, regular exercise, healthy diet and stress management are important to maintain the activity of stem cells.

Who cannot receive stem cells?

There is no general list of restrictions on stem cell treatment or administration. However, when considering stem cell treatment or administration, certain factors should be taken into account and an individual assessment should be made.

Below are potential limiting factors for stem cell therapy:

1. Active Cancer: Stem cell therapy is generally not recommended for people with active cancer. Treatment may accelerate cancer progression or increase risks.
2. Infectious Diseases: Some infectious diseases may be a limiting factor for stem cell therapy. These diseases include HIV, hepatitis and other infectious viruses.
3. Bleeding Disorders: Stem cell therapy may be risky in individuals with severe bleeding disorders. Treatment may increase the risk of bleeding.
4. Immunological Problems: Stem cell therapy may be contraindicated in people with certain autoimmune diseases. Treatment may affect immune system responses.
5. Pregnancy: In case of pregnancy, stem cell therapy is generally not recommended. Hormonal and physiological changes during pregnancy may affect the treatment.
6. Severe Chronic Diseases: Stem cell therapy may be risky in individuals with severe chronic diseases. Such diseases may affect the success of treatment or increase the risk of complications.

These factors should be evaluated individually and a specialist should be consulted for stem cell therapy. The risks, benefits and appropriateness of treatment for each patient should be carefully assessed. A qualified health professional will make the most appropriate decision by assessing the person’s medical history, current condition and treatment options.
