In recent decades, in the field of professional cosmetology, the method of correcting the skin through restorative biological technologies has become increasingly popular. These include, in particular, rejuvenation by injection of autologous fibroblasts.
Scientific validity
This technique has serious biological grounds and is based on the body's natural ability to regenerate. Fibroblasts are fibrous cells found in every human body. Their goal is the constant production of the most valuable substances on which the he althy state of the human body directly depends.
First of all, these cells synthesize the structural components of proteins, as well as connective fibers and hyaluronic acid. The presence in the tissues of these elements in the required quantity and in the correct proportions ensures the stability of the hydrostatic pressure in the cells and gives them elasticity. During life, as a person approaches adulthood, the percentage of fibroblasts in the skin decreases. They lose theirelasticity and under the influence of gravity become flabby and saggy.
At the end of the 20th century, cellular rejuvenation by fibroblasts was included in the number of classical surgical techniques. Feedback from the first patients to whom this technique was applied showed that in 100% of cases the use of injections passed without any negative consequences.
Sequence of actions
The collection of tissues for the preparation of the solution is performed under local anesthesia. Samples are sent to the laboratory, from where, within a few weeks, ready-made materials are delivered to the clinic, which are necessary in order to carry out rejuvenation with fibroblasts. How the procedure takes place can be seen in the photo below.
The skin of the face, as well as the neck, décolleté and hands are extensively injected. Shortly before the start of therapy, the areas indicated by the doctor are carefully treated with an anesthetic cream. The drug is injected using special thin needles. Once in the layers of the dermis, active cells begin to produce the most important proteins for the body (collagen and elastin), as well as hyaluronic acid and other elements that are an integral part of the matrix.
The rest of the fibroblasts not used for injection, at the request of the patient, remain in the cryobank, where they are stored indefinitely at a low temperature in liquid nitrogen. They can be obtained at any time for repeat procedures.
Cellular rejuvenation with fibroblasts: the essence of the procedure
Updating connectingregenerating cells not only accelerates the recovery processes in the structure of the skin, but also allows for their correction. Along with folds, shallow scars and other aesthetic defects disappear.
Fibroblast rejuvenation is a complex of medical procedures, built taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient and called SPRS-therapy. It is carried out strictly in clinical conditions.
For injection, the surgeon takes samples of the patient's skin and makes many copies of its structural elements in the laboratory. Since fibroblasts are human's own, and not foreign, cells, the procedure for their implantation occurs absolutely naturally. Natural recovery processes are launched in the body, which after a while becomes noticeable visually.
The injection procedure is no more painful than any of the so-called "beauty shots" and does not leave behind any visible marks other than positive ones.
Rejuvenation course
Most often, the introduction of the required amount of fibroblasts is carried out in two short procedures. They are held for 12 weeks at regular intervals. However, this schedule may vary, as SPRS therapy involves an individual approach, depending on the particular characteristics of the patient's skin.
The result of the procedure is often obvious after the very first session, which indicates the amazing speed with which fibroblast rejuvenation occurs. A photo,below, clearly demonstrates the effect of ongoing recovery processes.
SPRS-therapy does not give side effects in the form of allergic reactions. Since fibroblasts are the main element of mesenchymal stem cells, the probability of their rejection by the body is excluded. Therapy courses are perfectly combined with almost all other methods that currently exist in cosmetology.
Indications for the procedure
The introduction of cloned regenerating cells is indicated for people aged 40 years. However, this technique can be applied at earlier stages. In addition, it is worth remembering that the saturation of the skin with fibroblasts is also carried out in order to correct minor scars or defects.
Repair cell injection technology recommended for people:
- with pronounced signs of aging;
- middle-aged (for the prevention of skin aging);
- with various kinds of defecation (scars, pockmarks, burns, etc.);
- who wish to start the formation of fibroblasts in order to improve and maintain tone.
Patients who have indications for rehabilitation measures after cosmetic procedures (peeling, polishing, plastic surgery) can also be shown fibroblast rejuvenation. Feedback on this procedure suggests that collection of samples for cell expansion is best done at a younger age, when their ability to regeneratethe highest.
The principle of operation of implanted cells
Morphological studies of the dermis artificially saturated with fibroblasts testify to the extraordinary productivity of such technologies. Soon after the injection, the newly acquired cells are fixed in small groups. This is due to the dosed introduction of biological material, which is characterized by weak diffuse properties.
Inside the intercellular fine-grained substance, synthesized collagen fibers begin to be observed, which is a direct consequence of active restoration work. Characteristic features persist for up to 18 months, after which the fibroblasts are fully integrated into the structure of the skin and become no more active than all its components.
After these processes, active cells can be re-introduced according to an individually selected scheme. As a rule, the effect of a repeated procedure is more striking, since the recovery processes in the skin are already running.
Benefits of restorative biotechnologies
Fibroblasts embedded in the skin retain their activity for at least a year and a half. The necessary proteins are produced in the dermis, resulting in natural cell renewal. The intensity of the rejuvenating effect during the entire period of action is parabolic, increasing and then gradually fading away. By the end of the period, the activity of the implanted cells begins to correspond to the maximumactual age of the patient.
Signs of correction of age-related and other changes make up the following list:
- significantly reduces the number of wrinkles and the depth of old scars;
- evens out skin tone, restores its elasticity;
- the regenerative abilities of cells are obviously enhanced;
- pronounced rejuvenation appears.
Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for the freshness of the skin and, ultimately, for the beauty of a person. Constituting the framework of the dermis among other elements, they produce and organize various components, maintaining its necessary physiological state.
Contraindications and recommendations
New cell implantation procedures are not recommended for the following pathological conditions:
- active stage of infectious disease;
- presence of malignant tumors;
- impaired functioning of the immune system;
- rashes and other defects not related to infection.
In addition, this therapy is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Fibroblast injections are a fairly productive base for other procedures, the purpose of which is to restore the microstructure of the skin and correct its defects. Extensive experience in the use of biological rejuvenation technologies shows that the impact of each cosmetic product applied to the SPRS therapy procedure is significantly enhanced.
So likeprocedures are recommended to be combined with lifting by means of ultrasounds and laser rejuvenation technique. Also, mesotherapy and other techniques give more obvious results after the introduction of fibroblasts.
