【BIO PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC】 Stem Cell Cosmetology: "A Biological Revolution of Wrinkle Removal" (I)


In recent years, a technique called Autograft Pluripotent Stem Cell technology (APSC), which uses human body's own skin stem cells for wrinkle removal and scar repairing, has become a hot spot for media reports and public attention. It is described as "being its own beauty with its own cells," and is known broadly as "a biological revolution of wrinkle removal." The ladies who insist on the pursuit of beauty must want to know what is the stem cell cosmetic surgery?  Let's take a closer look in this essay today.

What are the stem cells?

Stem cells are simply cell factories. Like factories producing new items, stem cells produce new cells. In fact, adipose stem cells in subcutaneous adipose tissue contain a larger amount of stem cells compared to blood or bone marrow.




What is Fat Grafting with Stem Cells?

Fat Grafting with Stem Cells refers to a procedure in which stem cells are firstly extracted from fats such as abdomen, thigh or waist where fats are not easily lost, and then are mixed with pure fat, and finally are implanted in the desired body sites. 

Stem cell fat transplantation can increase the effect of transplantation because of the high rate of tissue recombination and survival compared to traditional fat grafting. Nowadays, adipose stem cell transplantation has become more and more widely used to improve wrinkles, skin regeneration, healing wounds, etc.


Traditional fat transplantation vs Stem cell fat transplantation

Compared with traditional fat transplantation,fat grafting from stem cells have at least three advantages, as follows: 
(1) Stem cell fat can increase fat survival in the human body. When stem cell fat is transplanted, stem cells promote the production of fine blood vessel membranes, and also thanks to its regenerative properties, fat absorption can be suppressed and survival rate can be improved.

(2) Stem cell fat transplantation can inhibit calcification of fat transplantation. That is because stem cells can play a role in suppressing the immune response to transplantation, and promote the survival of fat and prevent the occurrence of calcification.

(3) Natural effects: Traditional fat transplantation often injects a large amount of fat, thus the pressure between tissues will increase the speed of fat absorption, which will temporarily produce loose skin or an unnatural appearance. However, fat grafting with stem cells can achieve natural results through small injections.





Which part of your body can extract stem cells or be transplanted sites?

Dean Dong-man Park of BIO Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Hospital told us that in general, stem cells can be extracted from fat-rich body parts such as the abdomen and thighs (see blue dots in the image below). And the body areas that can be treated as transplanted sites include the forehead, nose, cheek, lip, chin, buttock, chest and other parts (see the red point in the following figure) to achieve the beauty effect of weight loss and wrinkle removal.






Stem Cell Cosmetology has become one of the most popular beauty techniques in the beauty industry. We will continue to learn more about this operation next time. 

 If you have any questions, please don't hesitate and contact us!  By the way, our BIO hospital moved in April. The new home is near the exit 7 of Sinsha Station in Seoul. Welcome!
