Stem Cell Skin Care Scottsdale

Stem cells have been the source of many medical breakthroughs in the past few years. From arthritis to Alzheimer’s disease, stem cells are being used to treat many different diseases. And now they’ve come to cosmetic medicine.

How do stem cells work in skin care?

Most types of medical care involving stem cells use human stem cells, which are intended to grow into new types of cells in the body. However, the stem cells used in skin care products have a different goal. In skin care, the cells used are often plant stem cells, and sometimes animal stem cells.

The goal is not for these stem cells to establish themselves within the body and grow (of course; who would want their skin to look like a plant?). Rather, various factors present within stem cells offer a variety of benefits to our own cells. When the stem cells are added to the skin care product, these various factors are released from the cells. They are then available to your own cells when you use the product.

Because they’re optimized for growth, stem cells contain a high concentration of certain substances, including growth factors and amino acids. These substances act to jumpstart the body’s repair processes. The skin’s cells act to rejuvenate the skin, shrinking scars, repairing wounds and infections (such as acne), and creating a more youthful and glowing appearance.

What types of products may contain stem cells?

Stem cells are present in a variety of skin care products, including moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams, serums, and more. Many products contain stem cells along with a variety of other active ingredients, so you can find a stem cell skin care product that meets the needs of your skin. The stem cells will work along with the other ingredients to help with whatever skin problem you’re having.
