With rapidly ageing population across many developed nations, interest in the science of ageing and hence rejuvenation continues to grow.
Stem Cell Therapies
Rejuvenative Therapies
Ageing, by and large, is caused by the reduced function of effective stem cells in tissues, organs, organ systems and the whole organism. Recent research points ageing to old tissue stem cells that can be rejuvenated by youthful re-calibration of the environment where stem cells reside.
Use of Stem Cells in Aesthetic Medicine
Already trending, the use of stem cells for aesthetics purposes is probably one of the latest and most effective beauty procedures. This rejuvenating therapy continues to deliver amazing outcomes because stem cells contain growth factors that can possibly be used to further stimulate the renewal process.
Rejuvenative therapies have been used for reducing wrinkles between the eyebrows, reducing frown lines, improving the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, reducing laugh wrinkles, treatment of acne scars and rejuvenation of skin on the hands and other parts of the body.
Lesser known is the application of stem cells for the rejuvenation of organs that have aged over time or require repair due to injury. There is still much to be researched and trialled, however, autologous adipose stem cells hold promise for applications in the repair of skin, rejuvenation of ageing skin and ageing-related skin lesions and a possibility in the rejuvenation of organs.
