Stem cells

Stem cells are cells that can give rise to every cell and tissue in a newly formed organism. They can be obtained from an egg cell, an embryo, or a newborn's umbilical cord blood, but also from any human being, even an adult. In the latter case, we obtain what are known as mesenchymal stem cells.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are cells with unique abilities to self-renew and transform into other cells that make up human tissues, such as nerve, muscle, bone, and blood cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are present in the human body throughout life, but with age, their potential for self-renewal and their number decrease, and their replacement is disrupted. This is why we age.

Stem cells have the ability to recognize damaged tissues and repair them. When administered to a given tissue, they take on its form. If administered to bone tissue, they take the form of bone cells, and if administered to muscle tissue, they take the form of muscle cells.

This is how stem cells participate in tissue regeneration. Depending on the signal they receive, they can rebuild blood vessels, regenerate scars and damaged nerves, contribute to wound healing, and inhibit inflammatory and immune responses. As we age, the cells in our tissues become damaged. This also happens when we suffer injuries or become ill. In such situations, our own stem cells are activated to replace dead cells and rebuild damaged tissues.

Many sources from which mesenchymal stem cells can be isolated have been discovered. They are found, among others, in the skin, muscle tissue, adipose tissue, and blood. The most commonly used sources for their extraction are adipose tissue and blood. Stem cells are already used as standard treatment for over 70 conditions, including cancer, hematological disorders, and regenerative medicine. They are used to treat both children and adults. About a month after the procedure, we can observe a reduction in fine wrinkles, smoothing and evening out of skin tone, as well as an improvement in skin density, tension and elasticity.

The procedure involves taking blood or adipose tissue from the patient, from which, after special preparation, mesenchymal stem cells (PBSC - Peripheral Blood Stem Cells or ADSC - Adipose-Derived Stem Cells) are obtained. They are administered topically, by intradermal injection, to the area that needs regeneration. Since the material is derived from the patient's own body, it cannot cause irritation or allergic reactions in those using them.

Important information

Duration of treatment

PBSC - about 4 hours (first blood is drawn, which, after special preparation, is injected into the patient's skin by intradermal injections 4 hours after blood drawing) ADSC - 90 - 120 minutes (first fat tissue and blood are drawn, which, after special preparation, are injected into the patient's skin by intradermal injections)

Required tests

ADSC - blood group, blood count, coagulation indices (APTT and INR), creatinine, glucose level, ASPAT, ALAT, BILIRUBIN

FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about a variety of treatments and procedures.

How to make an appointment at Dr Szczyt Clinic?

You can schedule a visit by calling 22 654 90 60 or via the website under Consultation appointments.

How do you choose the right treatment at Dr Szczyt Clinic?

The best way to choose the right treatment at a plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic is to start with a consultation with a specialist. During the visit, the doctor will conduct a detailed medical interview, familiarize themselves with the patient's expectations, and assess their health and the specific nature of the aesthetic problem. Based on this information, they will advise on which treatments will be appropriate to achieve the desired results. The consultation also allows you to discuss the available options, their potential effects, and any possible risks, which makes it easier to make an informed decision.

What are the risks associated with plastic surgery procedures?

Every plastic surgery procedure, like any medical intervention, involves certain risks. The most common complications include infections, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, and scarring. Less common complications include blood clots, pulmonary embolism, and sensory disturbances in the operated area. Proper preparation of the patient, careful qualification for the procedure, and the experience and professionalism of the medical team significantly minimize these risks. It is also important to follow the doctor's recommendations in the postoperative period, which allows for a faster and safer recovery.

Are aesthetic medicine procedures painful?

Aesthetic medicine treatments are usually minimally invasive and involve minimal discomfort. Most of them, such as injections or laser therapy, are performed using local anesthetics, which significantly reduces discomfort. Patients may experience slight pricking, burning, or tightness of the skin, but these symptoms usually disappear quickly after the procedure. If necessary, the doctor will always select appropriate pain relief methods to ensure maximum comfort for patients.
