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!
