Regenerative therapies are on the rise in the aesthetics field, with treatments like those involving stem cells becoming the go-to for facial rejuvenation and other cosmetic services. Stem cells are special cells that can develop into different kinds of cells making them a great choice for a variety of treatments. The collagen and elastin produced by stem cells result in a more youthful and fresh appearance.
Stem cells, like the same ones used in innovative medical research and treatments for diseases like Alzheimer’s, or even specific types of cancer, are now an exciting part of skin rejuvenation treatments. Stem cells can become specialized in order to repair and replace damaged tissue in specific parts of the body. In the aesthetics field, instead of using human stem cells, most serums, creams, or other products contain either plant or animal stem cells in order to provide a more youthful glow to the skin.
Stem cells contain powerful ingredients for skin rejuvenation like amino acids and peptides. While most skincare products do not contain human stem cells, the plant or animal stem cells that they do contain work in relatively the same way. They are not living cells, so they will not turn into new skin cells themselves, but they do provide growth factors and are rich in antioxidants resulting in younger-looking skin.
Stem cells boost the production of collagen, helping to correct wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. Stem cell treatments are not only designed for the face but are applicable to other areas of the body that you would like to improve as well. Here are some other treatments offered by iGlow that stem cells can help with:
When used in addition to other cosmetic treatments, like microneedling or laser treatments, stem cells can dramatically enhance the already wonderful benefits.
At iGlow Med Spa in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, we offer adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), or stem cells that are derived from fatty tissue. Our team can help you explore the many options available at our state-of-the-art Beverly Hills med spa.
There are many benefits to stem cell therapy, and we can help you learn about your treatment options as well as how you can combine them for maximum effect during a consultation.
Fat tissue is readily available in areas like the stomach, hips, and thighs. All that’s needed to collect it is a minimally invasive procedure like liposuction. This makes ADSCs a convenient and abundant source of stem cells for your treatment, as well as offering minimal body contouring on your donor area.
Unlike embryonic stem cells, which raise ethical concerns due to their extraction from embryos, ADSCs are obtained from adult fatty tissue, making them a non-controversial source of stem cells.
The extraction of ADSCs from fat tissue is a relatively safe and low-risk procedure. It can be performed under local anesthesia, reducing the chances of complications compared to more invasive procedures required for other sources of stem cells.
ADSCs have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including adipocytes (fat cells), osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), and myocytes (muscle cells). This versatility makes them valuable for regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and potential treatments for a wide range of diseases and injuries.
ADSCs possess immunomodulatory properties, meaning they can regulate the immune response. This makes them potentially useful in treating autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues.
ADSCs derived from a patient’s own fat tissue (autologous transplantation) can be used for therapeutic purposes without the risk of rejection or the need for immunosuppressive drugs. This personalized approach increases the safety and effectiveness of stem cell-based treatments.
ADSCs have been shown to promote tissue repair and regeneration by releasing various growth factors and cytokines. They can stimulate the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and accelerate wound healing, making them valuable in treating chronic wounds, burns, and other injuries.
ADSCs have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in various conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and neuroinflammatory disorders.
ADSCs are increasingly being used in cosmetic procedures such as facial rejuvenation and hair restoration. They can promote collagen production, improve skin quality, and stimulate hair growth, providing natural and long-lasting results.
