What is fibroblast therapy?<\/h3>\r\n

This enhances the ability to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid. Fibroblasts are essential cells for maintaining the youthfulness of the skin. Our skin is divided into three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, and fibroblasts are found in the dermis layer. The majority of the dermis is composed of components produced by fibroblasts, which are the three major elements that make up the skin: collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Collagen is a protein fiber that is intricately woven in a mesh pattern to support the skin’s structure and firmness. Elastin binds collagen together and contributes to the skin’s elasticity. Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance that fills the gaps in the dermis, stabilizing its structure and influencing skin hydration.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Furthermore, fibroblasts play roles in maintaining vascular health, producing female hormones (estrogen) related to beautiful skin, and moving to damaged tissue when the skin is injured to increase collagen production and assist in tissue repair. If fibroblasts are active, they contribute to keeping the skin healthy. However, fibroblasts can weaken and decrease due to various factors, with aging being the most prominent, but other factors like UV radiation, dryness, and stress also contribute. As a result, the production of beauty-related components decreases, leading to skin aging such as wrinkles and sagging.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

To address such skin aging concerns, our clinic offers a treatment using autologous fibroblasts. This treatment involves harvesting the patient’s own skin cells (fibroblasts), cultivating and proliferating them at our affiliated CPC (Cell Processing Center), and then transplanting them to the targeted areas of concern. By enhancing fibroblasts that have aged or decreased due to factors like aging and UV damage, we aim to activate their function and promote skin regeneration.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The skin cells are collected from behind the ear, so there are no noticeable marks after the procedure. Currently, treatments for wrinkles and skin aging often involve the injection of collagen and hyaluronic acid, but there have been concerns about the potential for unknown infections and reports of allergies. In contrast, fibroblast therapy utilizes the patient’s own skin cells, making it virtually free of side effects. Furthermore, it boasts the advantage of long-lasting effects.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
