What are Stem cell cosmetics ?
Today we are going to look into Stem cell cosmetics
Well there are many weird and what some may say insane beauty treatments out there but is Stem cell cosmetics one of them, we are going to find out.
The use of stem cells in medical treatments remains highly controversial, with detractors claiming their use is “playing God”.
Stem cells which occur in living organisms (including the human body) are different from other cells for two reasons. One, they are capable of renewing themselves and two, under certain conditions, they can be induced to become cells that serve specific functions for the organism. They’re important because of their regenerative properties, stem cells offer a new way to treat certain diseases, and are often used in labs for screening new drugs and other biological research.
The basics of it is that stem cells can transform into any other cell, and are used to make repairs on the body. The only stem cell treatment approved is a bone marrow transplant in the instance of leukemia but that hasn’t stopped many patients from seeking cutting-edge plastic surgeries, which the cells are drawn from the body using liposuction and then re-injected into the face, to repair wrinkles. Unfortunately, the procedure is in its infancy, and there is no way to predict exactly how the cells will behave.
The idea behind stem cells in skin care is that by applying them topically, we might stimulate the growth of more stem cells and as they can regenerate, they’ll keep our skin looking youthful and healthy. Most stem cells used in beauty products are derived from plants.
It is unknown if the stem cells work in skin care products, it is said that they can stimulate cell turnover and boost collagen but there is no hard evidence of this as yet.
Until there is any proven facts of Stem cell cosmetics working and being safe I would stick to what you know.
