Stem cells "repair" the body
There are hundreds of types of cells in the human body. Stem cells are the primary cells - those that, under the right conditions, can transform into all cell types. With their help, unhealthy tissues can regenerate or regenerate, and this is one of the most intriguing areas in modern medicine.
Today, scientists use cells extracted from a patient's own tissue and processed in a specific way to achieve medical and aesthetic results not possible with other tools of traditional medicine. A team led by Prof. Dr. Karaioz is working on applying cell therapies to patients with a variety of diagnoses. They have made significant progress in children with cerebral palsy and muscular degeneration - some have been prevented from progressing to the disease and others have seen a marked improvement in their condition.
The positive effect of stem cells has also been proven in orthopedic problems, joint and cartilage repair, spinal problems and sports injuries.
In a number of other medical fields, stem cells are yielding promising results at the experimental level. At Liv Hospital they are testing their use in patients with chronic lung disease and reporting good results.
Stem cells and aesthetic medicine
Stem cells give an excellent and natural result in reducing the traces of age or so-called anti-aging. This is done in three stages: first, fat tissue is extracted from the patient using biopsy or liposuction. Cells are then extracted from it and processed, which are finally injected back in to rejuvenate the affected area.
A similar method is also used to erase scars, burns and injuries on the skin, avoiding the risk of allergic reaction and achieving the most natural result.
