This is really cutting edge: Plastic surgeon Vincent Giampapa, MD, FACS has developed a new treatment to make your face look youthful called The Stem Cell Facelift.
It’s still in the experimental stages but looks really promising.
Stem cells are immature cells that can be directed to mature into a desired type of cell by giving the patient the right sort of growth factors.
We use stem cells in medicine after aggressive cancer treatments. The cancer treatment destroys the bone marrow so the patient may not be able to produce blood cells. Without white blood cells, the patient can’t fight off even the mildest infection. A stem cell transplant restores the patient’s ability to make blood cells in the bone marrow.
Imagine getting new fat and skin cells growing in your face. You could potentially erase years from your appearance.
We can expect to hear more about this treatment in the future.
