For the anti-ageing method, stem cell research is considered one of the fields with the greatest potential. Aesthetic clinics are already using these methods for skin rejuvenation. Either a small amount of the patient 's own blood or some fatty tissue is taken, centrifuged and filtered. This produces a concentrate rich in stem cells and growth factors, which are then injected into the skin for plumping and collagen formation.
Now, cosmetic products with stem cells are gradually conquering the cosmetics market. Especially in the anti-aging area, this innovation is gaining more and more ground. Our body's own stem cells lose their vital functions with increasing age and cannot regenerate themselves. As a result, the skin loses elasticity and tone and wrinkles and pigmentation spots can appear. To counteract this, cosmetic products rely on plant stem cells.
They use various plant ingredients that have a positive effect on regeneration and collagen formation. In contrast to human stem cells, plant stem cells have a very big advantage, because they are constantly able to change during their entire life span, have the ability to divide endlessly and reproduce themselves. After all, plants must constantly form new shoots, leaves, flowers and fruits, and they must constantly withstand various environmental influences, such as UV radiation or insects, without suffering major damage.
Through their stem cells, they can regenerate any damage that has occurred. Cosmetic research makes use of these properties. But can plant stem cells work on humans at all? Studies say: Yes! Although plant and human stem cells are different, it has been proven that plant stem cells can promote the skin's own ability to regenerate.
