Stem Cell & Fat Graft
As we age, the so-called aging process occurs in our bodies caused by all the harmful materials that our body is exposed to during our lifetime. Where the cells of the body undergo changes that eventually lead to their death. And perhaps the most prominent cells that are exposed to the influences of the surrounding environment are skin cells (sunlight, pollutants, radiation, dust…). And when these cells die, wrinkles, sagging and fine lines occur. But now with Dr. Basil Hassouneh, a facial plastic surgeon in Dubai, we can replace these dead cells and bring them back to life with stem and fat graft technique.
Aging changes:
Skin cells have very important functions. They produce very useful substances to maintain the luster and vitality of the appearance of the skin. Where it produces collagen, elastin fibers and hyaluronic acid. And when they die, the skin loses its vitality and wrinkles begin to appear.
Stem Cells:
They are cells of a special nature that enable them to transform into any type of human cell, depending on the tissue in which they are placed, and then multiply and perform all their functions. Using these cells to compensate for the deficiency in skin cells is one of the latest techniques in the cosmetic world. Where they differentiate into skin cells that produce the components of the dermal and subcutaneous tissue and restore its vitality and luster.
Fat graft:
The adipose tissue in the human body contains a number of stem cells, and this technique is an alternative to filler injections. Where the fat is extracted from the patient’s own body and then re-injected, usually in the face in areas that need more fullness.
Procedure:
Stem cells are obtained from several areas of the body (adipose tissue, peripheral blood, a piece of skin taken and then multiplied in cell cultures). Then cells are placed in special refrigerated containers. These cells are then injected into the face (where wrinkles and fine threads are located), and they multiply to compensate for the lack of cells and produce fibers and useful substances that restore the skin’s luster and vitality. The procedure is very easy and simple, and you can return to daily life one day after it.
FAQ
What are the advantages of stem cells and fat grafts ?
The most important thing that distinguishes it is that injected materials are 100% natural and that they are from the person’s own body, so there is no risk of allergic reactions or immune rejection. Also, what makes it unique is the continuity of results for a relatively longer period than other injections, as the effectiveness lasts for more than two years. Then the injection may be repeated (it is possible to save stem cells for injection later, which reduces the need to extract them from the body again).
What are the recommendations after the injection?
You must stop smoking and drinking alcohol, which negatively affects the viability of stem cells, and it is also important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
