Cells of youth, or Modern philosophy of rejuvenation

Caring for your health and beauty is an integral part of a successful person. After all, the first thing we pay attention to is – a person's face as one of the most important means of communication, namely – skin on the face. By her appearance they judge her age, health and many other things. However, one should not forget that the skin is a unique organ that performs a huge number of physiological functions.

In an effort to preserve youth, it is very important not only to get an external effect, but also to preserve individuality, and most importantly – skin health. What alternatives to botulinum toxins and other unsafe and aggressive substances that we receive during cosmetic procedures does aesthetic medicine offer today?

Fibroplasts - a unique opportunity to restore youth

First of all, it is necessary to deal with age-related changes, on the one hand – having understood the reasons that led to skin aging, and on the other hand – preserving and returning to this organ the functions and properties lost with age, since endocrinological, gynecological and other problems are often behind external changes, without solving which it is impossible to obtain the desired result. Moreover, the appearance of the skin is due, first of all, to the usefulness of its internal structure, and not to wrinkles, which are easily removed during its restoration. Therefore, the thoughtless filling of wrinkles with even the most "advanced" synthetic drugs, in fact, is just a masking of the problem, the catalysts of which are the same drugs.

The use of own skin cells – fibroblasts.

They are the very basic cells that synthesize their own collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and other essential components that provide the basic functions of the skin and its appearance.

With age, the number of fibroblasts decreases and their activity decreases exponentially. Outwardly, this is manifested in the loss of skin elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles, which cannot be dealt with with the help of creams and traditional cosmetic procedures. The face of a twenty-year-old girl, albeit sometimes with dark circles under her eyes from fatigue or other flaws, radiates freshness and youth, for which, in fact, fibroblasts are responsible. Such a face is easy to distinguish from the face of an adult woman even after rejuvenating operations and the use of all kinds of popular injection technologies – just for the quality of the leather. In addition, unfortunately, after poorly performed procedures, their result is not only noticeable, but also makes a woman look like many previous patients operated on according to a certain pattern.<

The total number of fibroblasts in the skin by the age of 50 is reduced by an average of 50% compared with people aged 18-29 years. However, modern biotechnologies make it possible to obtain and cultivate the required number of functionally active fibroblasts from a small skin biopsy, regardless of the patient's age.

For the first time, own dermal fibroblasts for the correction of wrinkles and post-acne scars were successfully used in 1995 by specialists from the American company Isolagen (today Fibrocell), proving the high clinical efficacy and safety of this technology. And today it has become a global practice to use cellular technologies, which are based on – use of own dermal fibroblasts to correct age-related changes.

And now, finally, rejuvenation with one's own fibroblasts has become real in Ukraine. More than 100 patients have already undergone this procedure. All of them subjectively noted a significant improvement in skin condition. And based on the methods of evidence-based medicine, a decrease in relief and restoration of the internal structure of the skin, characteristic of a young age, was noted.

Today, young people who care about their future can store their fibroblasts in a cryobank, receiving biological insurance to maintain youthful skin. Obtained at a young age, these skin cells have a maximum proliferative potential.

Thus, the introduction of regenerative technologies in aesthetic medicine has made it possible to most effectively, safely and naturally restore the young properties of the skin, while maintaining the individual features of the appearance.
