Remove wrinkles with blood

The injection of stem cells taken from the patient's own blood may be the last step of wrinkle removal technology if future clinical trials give good results.

Wrinkles are a sign of aging over time. Now, however, that natural process is likely to be repulsed by a new method of using stem cells made from the blood of people who are being treated to counteract their own wrinkles. The cells will be injected under the skin, then develop into new skin cells to help restore elasticity.

Athol Haas, executive director of Pharmacells, which developed the technology, said: 'The natural elasticity of the skin comes from what is called fibroblasts (which helps maintain the structural integrity of the skin). ). The body can produce elastic materials but at a slower rate with age because the number of fibroblasts decreases. By providing large numbers of stem cells in the right place, that ability will be greatly increased. Although the research is only in the early stages, we hope the trial will begin within the next 12 months. '

Botox injection method reduces wrinkles soon
replaced by stem cells made from blood?

So far, wrinkle removal still has to follow the cosmetic method by injecting synthetic collagen into the skin. The trend that many people are choosing is botox - a neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is introduced into the body in order to fix easily wrinkled muscles.

In the near future, Pharmacells will conduct its first clinical trial in a Hong Kong hospital with a technique to help filter a type of embryonic stem cell, which can develop into many different types of tissue.

If successful, this will be a revolutionary study in the field of cosmetic surgery and future cosmetic medicine, contributing to the development of new techniques for treating heart disease or osteoarthritis, Dr. Rajiv Grover, the newly elected chairman of the British Association of Cosmetic Surgeons (BAAPS), said.
