Stem cells?

Stem cell treatment used for skin renewal is also called ‘Autologous Fibroblast Injection Treatment’. Fibroblast is the name given to the basic stem cell responsible for the formation of collagen tissue that makes the skin look young and plump. Fibroblasts are found in small amounts in our normal skin and proliferate when needed, enabling the formation of new and healthy collagen tissue. During the aging process; Due to gravity, harmful effects of sunlight, free radicals and various other reasons, the renewal rate of fibroblasts slows down and over time, signs of aging such as wrinkles and blemishes appear on our skin. The treatment used to slow down this process is called stem cell therapy. In stem cell treatment, when the person’s own (autologous) fibroblasts are injected under the skin, a rapid recovery occurs. This process creates a youth vaccination effect.

How are stem cells obtained?

For stem cell treatment, the person’s skin areas that are least exposed to the sun, often behind the ear or inner arm area; A piece of skin is removed with a punch biopsy tool, which is a pen-like tool with a diameter of 3 mm. A certain amount of blood is also taken from the person in the same session. This piece of skin and blood are sent to the laboratory. In the laboratory, stem cell production begins from the person’s own skin in the culture environment created by tissue engineers based on the serum obtained from the person’s own blood. It takes an average of 3 weeks for these stem cells, namely fibroblasts, to proliferate sufficiently. At the end of 3 weeks, the first session can be applied to the person.

For what purpose is stem cell therapy performed?

From the moment the stem cells are applied, the healing effect begins in the collagen tissue and this effect continues for up to 12 months. While the effect decreases over time in other applications; In stem cell treatment, the effect increases as time goes by. The permanence of the application is approximately 4-5 years.

How is stem cell therapy applied?

Although the application method is generally the same as the mesotherapy method, it can also be applied as filler where necessary. Before the application, the patient is waited by applying anesthesia cream and then the application begins. The patient does not feel any pain since anesthesia is applied during the application.

Are there any complications of stem cell treatment?

Since stem cell therapy is performed from a piece of skin obtained from the patient’s own cells, it does not have any complications. It has no teratogenic or carcinogenic properties. Therefore, it is a very safe and effective treatment method.
