As we age, we acquire those ugly wrinkles and it's hard to ignore them. It's even harder not to crib about those age spots and patches on the skin. Everybody craves for that smooth and flawless skin, isn't it?
Our skin is a barrier between the external environment and our internal system. It is composed of elements like glycosaminoglycans, elastin, and collagen that help stay hydrated, elastic and firm but there are so many factors that make our skin dull, dry and saggy with age. One might think what can possibly be done about it? We cannot bring the process of aging to halt, nor can we reverse it. To understand this, we should first know a bit about the aging process.
The process of aging can be simply divided into two categories-extrinsic and intrinsic. While extrinsic aging results from environmental factors like exposure to sun, pollution etc. Intrinsic aging is a natural process that has nothing to do with the external environment. Our skin starts producing less amount of collagen as we age, generally after the age of 20, making our skin less thick and more fragile.
One thing that becomes evident is that if someone tries to slow down the process of appearance of wrinkles or loss of firmness, it is only extrinsic aging that one can have a control on. There are various habits that can be adopted so as to keep our skin healthy and plump.
Apart from preventive measures, there are various methods that can be used so as to revitalize aging skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Stem cell therapy is one of them. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells of a multi-cellular organism that are capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type. They have the remarkable potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body.
To carry out the stem cell therapy, a small sample of adipose fat is collected from the patient and the stem cells are processed in state of art stem cell lab. The processed cells are then introduced into the facial skin or particular problem areas with very fine pine needle. These autologous stem cells with the immense capacity to repair and replenish old worn out cells are used for skin rejuvenation.
The effects start appearing very soon. A firm skin replaces the sagging one, fine lines, age spots and wrinkles start to disappear. The hair and brows begin to darken and you can see a younger version of yourself as a result.
