Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells01:23

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.3K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

3.3K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Age-related periorbital volume loss causes tear troughs and infraorbital hollowing, leading to a fatigued appearance.
  • Platelet concentrates have a history of use for their regenerative properties.
  • Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Gel is a novel, autologous alternative to hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for periorbital rejuvenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Gel as a conservative and natural option for periorbital rejuvenation.
  • To describe the preparation and application of PRF Gel for addressing under-eye hollowness.

Main Methods:

  • PRF Gel is prepared by combining denatured albumin and liquid PRF.
  • Specific centrifugation speeds and times are used for each component (albumin: 2600 rpm, 7 min; liquid PRF: 1100 rpm, 5 min).
  • The components are mixed in a 3.5:1.5 cc ratio to create an injectable gel.

Main Results:

  • PRF Gel is suitable for patients desiring a conservative approach, including those with prior HA complications or lymphatic issues.
  • Treatment involves minimal downtime and fewer post-operative restrictions compared to HA fillers.
  • Prospective observations indicate progressive volume improvement with repeated PRF Gel treatments.

Conclusions:

  • PRF Gel presents a new, autologous treatment for under-eye rejuvenation.
  • It provides a conservative and natural alternative for patients seeking to address tear troughs and infraorbital hollowing.
  • Further refinement of PRF Gel preparation protocols may enhance clinical outcomes.
