Stem Cells Help Repair Damaged Skin


According to a recent study, we all hold the secret to healthier, younger-looking skin – in our stem cells.

The International Stem Cell Corporation, a leader in stem cell research, discovered how to use non-embryotic stem cells to help develop therapies and cures for regenerative diseases such as blindness, diabetes, liver disease and Parkinson’s disease. During their research, they also discovered how stem cells can help rejuvenate skin cells.

Stem cells, which are highly potent cells, have a unique ability to notice and replace damaged or diseased tissues throughout the body. When damage occurs, they “wake up” and go straight into action, helping to regenerate the cells that were lost or harmed. For our skin, that means stem cells may help to repair sun damage and slow the process of natural aging.  

Scientists were able to stimulate the skin’s own ability to repair itself by extracting non-embryonic human stem cells and adding them to topical creams. According to an independent clinical study, 93 percent of the individuals who used this treatment experienced improvement in skin hydration, 73 percent experienced firmer, tighter skin and 63 percent experienced improved skin tone and brightness. 

While this type of treatment is still in the experimental stages, stem cell skin care is proving to be a very promising solution to damaged and aged skin.
