Stem Cell Procedure Method, Effects, Frequency, Side Effects?

If You’re Considering a Stem Cell Injection, Please Read This

Hello, this is Obje Plastic Surgery.

Today, we’re back with Part 2 of our explanation of stem cell procedures. In the previous post, we explained in detail what stem cells are and how they help our bodies. If you haven’t read Part 1 yet, please check the previous post first!

To briefly explain again, stem cells are undifferentiated cells with various functional properties. When undifferentiated cells are injected into the body, they go to areas that need recovery and induce regeneration, helping restore the body’s condition.

Because of these characteristics, stem cells are now actively used in various fields such as health, anti-aging, and aesthetics. At Obje Plastic Surgery as well, we continue to research stem cells at our Stem Cell Center.

In the previous post, we covered the basic concept of stem cells. In this article, we’ll explain the stem cell procedure method, how it works in the body, and whether there are any side effects.

Stem Cell Procedure Method? Where are stem cells collected from?

In the previous post, we mentioned that there are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.

Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into all tissues and organs, but they are difficult to use because of ethical issues in the collection process. As a result, adult stem cells, which are easier to collect, are widely used.

There are quite a few tissues in the body from which adult stem cells can be obtained.

1. Bone marrow stem cell collection

2. Fat stem cell collection

3. Blood stem cell collection

The traditional method is to collect stem cells from bone marrow, but in the case of bone marrow stem cells, the collection process requires general anesthesia or lower-body anesthesia, and because a needle is inserted directly into the bone marrow to collect the stem cells, the procedure can cause considerable pain and discomfort.

Fat stem cell collection also requires sedation because fat must be suctioned out in order to extract the stem cells, and it also requires a recovery period.

That is why a more comfortable and safer way to collect stem cells is to use blood stem cells. Currently, the most widely used and patient-preferred stem cell procedure method is blood stem cell treatment.

So how are stem cells collected from blood?

Collecting blood stem cells is much simpler than collecting tissue cells from the bone marrow or fat. This is because only blood is needed from the blood vessels. It can be done without anesthesia, just like a blood transfusion.

Since only blood needs to be collected, there is usually no major discomfort after the stem cell procedure, and you can return to daily life right away.

Because it is easy to access and places a relatively low burden on patients, Obje uses the method of collecting stem cells from blood.

Principles of the Stem Cell Procedure? Let me explain how the effects appear

Basically, stem cells already exist in our blood. However, when they are present at a normal concentration, they cannot send any signal to the body, so they do not actively do anything. As mentioned earlier, stem cells have the characteristic of a “homing effect,” which means they directly find the tissue that needs regeneration and travel there, so signal responses that help locate the area for regeneration are important.

To create the signal response that induces regeneration, the concentration of stem cells in the blood must be raised above a certain level.

Let me explain this concept a little more simply. It is similar to the way painkillers work when we are sick.

Vegetables and herbs that we commonly encounter in meals in everyday life also contain ingredients that can cause a mild pain-relieving effect. But just because we eat vegetables and herbs with our meals does not mean the pain will dramatically ease, right?

So, to quickly relieve pain, we take painkillers. Painkillers are made by concentrating the beneficial ingredients for pain relief into a form that can be taken all at once. Even though the ingredients are the same as those found in vegetables and herbs, the concentrated amount is higher, which is why an immediate pain-relieving effect appears.

The stem cell procedure works on the same principle. Stem cells also exist in our body, but when they are present at a normal concentration, no effect appears.

By collecting stem cells from the body and injecting them again to create an appropriate concentration, various therapeutic effects can be expected.

Safety of the Stem Cell Procedure? Is it really okay when it enters our body?

Because the stem cell procedure is a hot topic, more and more people are taking interest and wondering whether it is really effective and safe.

The stem cell procedure is safe because it uses stem cells collected from your own body. Since the stem cells are collected from the patient’s blood, concentrated, activated, and then injected back into the same person, it can be performed without particular concern about side effects.

In addition, after receiving the stem cell procedure, previously unhealthy areas regenerate and recover, so many people actually feel that their condition has improved and their health has gotten better.

As you can see from the stem cell procedure method, the treatment involves not only stem cells but also various elements excellent for regeneration, such as growth factors, white blood cells, platelets, and SDF-1α, which are injected into the veins and skin. Through this, you can expect overall health improvement effects, including enhanced immunity and physical capacity, as well as anti-aging prevention and improved tissue regeneration.

Above all, Obje Plastic Surgery places patient safety and health as the top priority, so we perform stem cell procedures using only advanced systems and equipment certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, we use verified equipment, and because we use autologous stem cells collected from the patient’s own blood, safe stem cell procedures are possible.

In the next post, we will take a closer look at the effects that can be obtained through stem cell procedures.

If you have questions about stem cell procedure effects, stem cell skin injections, stem cell intravenous injections, or anything else, please feel free to leave a comment! I will read the comments, organize them well, and answer in the next post.^^

So far, this has been Obje Plastic Surgery. Thank you!
