Anyone, regardless of skin tone , gender, religion and other distinctive features, wants to stay young for as long as possible. Millions of scientists are constantly working on the creation of the "elixir of youth." In this area, there are even truly fantastic developments that are based on the cultivation of new organs, nano-technologies, etc.
The question of rejuvenation becomes relevant for a person after his forty years, although there are people who start to worry about the appearance of small wrinkles even at 30. Everything depends on the person here. At some point, almost everyone begins to look for ways to rejuvenate the body. So, some spend huge sums on various anti-aging technologies, others acquire inexpensive creams, still others seek help from traditional medicine, etc.
I don’t want to disappoint anyone, but today there are still no magic creams, pills or other means that could return 100% of the inner and outer youth of a person. Although you should not be upset, because now there are ways to slow down aging. They can significantly improve the condition of the human body, in addition, improve the quality of his life. I would like to highlight one of these methods - stem cell rejuvenation (before and after photos can be viewed in this article).
Despite the fact that this method does not promise you a new body of a twenty-year-old person, especially if you are 50, rejuvenating the body in this way, a 50-year-old body will look at 40 maximum, it will be easier to cope with various infections, it will receive a charge of health, strength and vivacity.
Research
Scientists have long said that the stem cells of a human embryo are potentially capable of being cells of any type that exists in the body, only the transition to practice from theory has been complicated. In laboratory conditions, it is theoretically possible to grow these cells, but there are serious moral and ethical obstacles - for these procedures, killing the embryo is required.
In 2007, the discovery was made that some adult cells have the opportunity to return to their completely immature state. Further studies have shown that a simple way to create induced pluripotent cells is ineffective when interacting with older cells, for which such a procedure would be particularly useful.
Stem cell rejuvenation (before and after photos are given in this article) has its own barriers, among which are natural processes that are associated with aging and cause cell death when certain mechanisms inside them are too worn out to fully function. Upon learning this, scientists began to use 2 transcription factors, LIN28 and NANOG, to create pluripotent induced stem cells.
The experiments
It should be noted that rejuvenation using stem cells of people 74-101 years is possible, as evidenced by the experiments. Several important markers of aging were restored in cells, including the size of telomeres - small protective “caps” that are located at the ends of chromosomes.
Telomeres and telomerase (the enzyme controlling them) are the main factors in increasing life expectancy and rejuvenation.
Telomere cells wear out a little every time after division. The task of telomerase is to restore them a little, but the moment comes when the telomeres completely wear out, after which the cell dies.
Cell reprogramming
Stem cell rejuvenation is a new way of reprogramming, which in the near future can be used to completely rejuvenate the body. But scientists say that at the moment it’s too early to rejoice and start planning your life ahead for 150 years.
Mouse experiments have shown that the creation of adult stem cells may still encounter difficulties. So, some pluripotent induced cells by the immune system can be rejected, even if they are obtained from the human body, therefore, from experiments to widespread use in practice there is still a long way to go.
Features of rejuvenation
As mentioned above, stem cell rejuvenation may have the most unpredictable consequences so far. But in any case, this is a revolutionary technique, significantly different from all other previously known.
How exactly does rejuvenation occur? Scientists say that the body is aging and worn out due to the depletion of the supply of its stem cells. At the same time, comparing the analyzes of an elderly person and a child, they revealed that in the body of a fifty-year-old person there are much fewer stem cells than in the baby’s body, therefore, if they are additionally introduced into the body, then the functioning of all organs and systems should normalize, which means that rejuvenation.
Back to life
The main action attributed to stem cells is revitalization, in other words, rebirth, renewal. Aging is not a vice or deviation, it is a natural process in which certain functions begin to gradually fade away, slow down, and this leads to a change in the appearance of a person. And after that, wrinkles appear on the skin, its elasticity disappears. But these are only external changes. At the same time, aging also affects internal organs, and they also need updating. Stem cell rejuvenation is designed to tighten the skin and erase wrinkles, as well as to restore the entire body.
Skin renewal
Medical cosmetology allows you to fight age with the introduction of stem cells. There is also the concept of “revitalization of the face”, in other words, its rejuvenation, characterized by a narrower focus from the general renewal. Local regeneration makes it possible to smooth wrinkles, restore skin tone, restore firmness, color, radiance and elasticity, eliminate hyperpigmentation - return all the signs of healthy young skin. At the same time, the essence of local exposure is that it is more efficient to introduce stem cells into the necessary areas, in this case, into the skin.
Contraindications
Speaking about the danger of stem cell rejuvenation, it must be said that experts do not reveal clear contraindications, most likely due to the lack of knowledge of this method. But before the procedure, doctors conduct an examination to identify any possible abnormalities.
There is an opinion that cancer causes rejuvenation by stem cells, but it is worth mentioning that there is no exact evidence for this. Their introduction is not a salon procedure, not a simple technique, it is an area of medical cosmetology, therefore, it should be carried out in a specialized clinic that has a good reputation. At the same time, the age that is acceptable for this procedure is 35-40 years.
Operating principle
In the human body, stem cells are a “matrix” that can transform into tissue of any kind. Therefore, such rejuvenation is considered complex, it affects every organ and all systems of the human body. This is already scientifically proven. Rejuvenation with stem cells significantly improves the condition of the kidneys, heart, skin, stomach, intestines, liver, spine, etc.
Effect on skin condition
Stem cell rejuvenation of the appearance occurs so qualitatively and quickly that a person, looking at himself in the mirror, often does not believe his own eyes. The skin looks much better:
- age spots and cyanosis go away;
- wrinkles are smoothed out;
- sagging skin disappears, etc.
After such a rejuvenation, a person acquires a new stimulus, a sparkle of youth appears in his eyes.
Clinic selection
At the moment, there are a large number of medical institutions that work on this technique. Clinics that use stem cell rejuvenation are always certified institutions. Although most of them make the main emphasis on the therapeutic effect of this technique. And only a few institutions can be called true rejuvenation clinics. They focus on transplantation of unique cells.
It should be noted that in the post-Soviet space of institutions that are effective at the same time in the treatment and rejuvenation of a person, units. They are worth contacting. They constantly introduce new developments and technologies, each year practicing in the treatment and rejuvenation of their clients. In such a clinic, health, beauty and youth are on the same level. In addition, when choosing an institution, do not hesitate to ask for certificates for this procedure, in addition, find out about the guarantees it provides to its clients. In this case, it would be better to ask real patients about the results.
