Stem Cell Applications in Dermatology

What is Stem Cell Therapy for Dermatology?

 

Automated (obtained from the person) stem cell therapy is a method of multiplying the person's own stem cells and applying them to the problem area. All tissues contain a small or large number of stem cells. The richest sources of stem cells are umbilical cord blood, fat tissue, bone marrow and skin. Stem cells obtained from fat tissue or skin are used for skin rejuvenation, wrinkles and acne scar treatment.

Automated fibroblast therapy is the method in which regenerative cells obtained from the person's own skin, called fibroblasts, are used.

Which Areas is Stem Cell Therapy Applied to in Dermatology?

 

  • Skin renewal and rejuvenation (face, hand, décolleté, etc.)
  • Wrinkle treatment
  • Treatment of acne scars
  • Treatment of hair loss

How are Stem Cells Obtained from the Skin?

 

A punch biopsy of approximately 3 mm is taken from an area of ​​the patient's skin that is not exposed to sunlight, such as behind the ear, and younger fibroblasts belonging to the patient are produced by culturing them in a special culture environment under GMP conditions in our laboratories. This is a process of approximately 4-6 weeks. When the cells reach the appropriate number and maturity for treatment and application, the application is made to the patient. Fibroblast cells are applied by injecting them into the application area with very fine-tipped needles by specialist physicians. Injections are made in 2 sessions in total, 15-30 days apart. It is a very easy and fast method. It can be repeated according to the determined treatment.

How Does Stem Cell Act on the Skin?

 

Fibroblasts are cells that normally exist in the connective tissue of the skin and provide the production of collagen, which provides the youth and elasticity of the skin. The cells injected into the skin with this treatment increase the thickness and density of the skin's collagen by producing collagen in the area where they are applied.

It can show its effects in the deformed area with the features of the formation of new skin cells, the promotion of vascularization, the increase of blood circulation, and the stimulation of immune system cells. Thus, the depth of lines and wrinkles decreases, acne scars in the form of hollows are lightened, and the skin can gain a tighter, brighter and smoother appearance. In addition, thinning of the skin is prevented and the aging process can be slowed down.

The person can continue their normal life within 24 hours after the application. The effect of the application can last for many years. This period may vary depending on factors such as smoking, skin structure, eating habits, age, genetic structure and ultraviolet rays.

What are the Side Effects of Stem Cell Treatment on the Skin?

 

There are no known significant side effects. Immediately after the application, slight redness, edema and bruising may develop at the injection points, although rarely. However, they disappear on their own within 24 hours at the latest. Since the cells are produced from the person's own tissue, there is no possibility of an allergic reaction.
