Using Stem Cells For Skin Care

By Miranda Sweeney


The search for the fountain of youth began long before Ponce Deleon stepped foot in Florida. People have always wanted to appear younger than their years and today researchers have begun to delve into an entirely unique technique of helping them to accomplish this dream. This unique research deals with using stem cells for skin care.

This treatment has been shown to be very effective in a topical form when clients used it for three months periods averaging three times a day. Another positive aspect is that they show no indications of any side effects for clients when used either in long term trials or with short term usage. Botanical embryos are harvested from plants for use in many of these serums. The plants that are selected survive in the harshest conditions on earth and are able to regenerate and repair themselves using cellular action.

Other treatments are created using unfertilized human eggs that were donated for this use. The eggs are tricked into creating the needed amino acids and proteins of the cell and they are extracted for use in the creams. Another method is to use bovine placenta in the production of the treatments.

Some doctors have harvested fat from patients and after extracting the cellular elements needed to create the acids and proteins needed. They are then injected into the patients face as filler. This process is supposed to smooth wrinkles and help remove discoloration but the results are not exact. Some ingredients added to the injection have proven harmful to the patient.

The field of topical treatments is more advanced than other methods. Nearly everyone agrees that collagen need to be stimulated by proteins and amino acids which decline as we age. Using extracts that contain the potpourri of growth factors, peptides and signaling chemicals is the best way of keeping the natural stimulation functioning. The disagreement seems to be in determining which type of source is best.

Many companies that previously used biological sources for their compounds are beginning to switch to the practice of using plants. It has been found that the enzymes needed to create appropriate proteins and amino acids can be obtained from plants. Using non-embryonic sources is less controversial and the peptides and enzymes are available from chemical and botanical sources.

The crucial cell that controls repair to the body can be found in hair and sweat glands. When the body signals that damage has been done the cell separates into two different types. One remains where it is while the other travels to the damaged site and becomes whatever type of cell it needs to be to control the damage that needs to be repaired.

The researchers have been making more progress every year in this field of endeavor. Many claim that their products work miracles if used correctly by the clients. We may see a day in the near future when this therapy will be available to every person who wants to improve the appearance of their skin at a reasonable cost.
