Have you heard of MSCs...Mesenchymal stem cells? And the secret of MSCs in the beauty?

What is Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?

     MSCs are human stem cells which have the ability to develop into specialized cells such as nerve tissues, heart muscles, blood vessels, cartilages, bones, collagen producing cells kidney cells, liver cells, skin etc. The cells also have the ability to regenerate and replicate themselves, playing a significant role in healing and protecting the damaged cells and tissues, which include skin tissues and brain tissues.

     MSCs can be found in umbilical cord blood, bone marrow, adipose tissue, muscle, and the pulp of baby teeth etc. MSCs are currently under extensive clinical researches and studies in patients with heart disease, stroke, sport injuries, arthritis, and autoimmune disease. It is also slowly involved in aesthetic because of its outstanding clinical effect for anti-aging 

What are the benefits of MSCs?

• Improved sense of well being
• Great energy and stamina
• Improved memory
• Improved libido
• Less bone and joint pain 
• Smooth and firmer skin
• New coarser and darker hair
• Greater heart strength (in patients with severe heart failure)
• Lower requirement for insulin doses (for diabetic patients)
• Improved kidney function
• Increased bone mineral density and reduced progression of osteoporosis
• Accelerated recovery in stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries.

What is the secret of MSCs in the beauty ? 

 

 

     As MSCs have the ability of regeneration and replication, they can repair damaged cells, healing the aging skin cells and improving the viability of skin to fight against free radicals and stress. MSCs reduces redness, appearance of lines, wrinkles and pore size, while softening and reducing scar tissues, tightening and lifting looses tissues, and reducing inflammation and irritation. Ultimately, the skin will become healthier, smoother and firmer, giving you a youthful skin complexion.

FACELIFT!

The mere mention of the word automatically puts up an image of an open surgery to tighten the face. Surgical procedure has always been the ultimate process in achieving a "lifted" and "tightened" facie. However, the procedure itself is invasive and the downtime is more often than not unacceptable to most people.

Worry no more! The are multiple methods to achieve a rejuvenated and lifted facial contour even if you opt the non-surgical way. Essentially, non-surgical or non-invasive methods is without downtime, safe and effective.

Focusing on different structure of the skin and also the facial muscles, several methods are the top-of-the-list procedures preferred by many.

Deep down, the facial muscles can be stimulated to exercise via delivery of microcurrent targeted at localized area of the face. This process, LUMILIFT,stimulates muscle contraction and strengthen individual muscle. Strong muscle forms the basis and structural support without which the face might appear loose and flabby.

THERMAX, on the other hand, with the delivery of radio-frequency waves, is able to stimulate collagen synthesis. Signs of aging are contributed by the fact that we do not produce that much collagen molecules as we were once. With several sessions of Thermax non-surgical facelift, one should be able to appreciate the progressive firmness of the face over time.

PRP (platelet-rich-plasma)'s benefits are endless. By the delivery of PRP into different layers of the skin, one can expect the face to glow, firm up and get lifted. By far one of the best anti-aging methods, PRP is loved by many as it involves the use of non other than the client's own blood product to achieve facial rejuvenation.

What Causes Aging?

“We get old too soon and wise too late” – Benjamin Franklin once make such statement which can clearly reflects to many individuals these days for with a little wisdom on how to take care of yourself may keep you from aging before your time!

1. Free Radical
• Like how a metal become rusted, or oxidized, an unstable molecule can target and attack our cells in our body to the depth of DNA causing cells damage which is believe one of the many causes of various diseases and of course aging!
2. Inflammation
   • Once which is believed to be one of process of a healthy immune system is now being pin point and consider one of the major player for causing various diseases and promoting aging at the same time. Of course we are not talking about an acute inflammation but instead a long standing one or otherwise being defined as an chronic inflammation.
3. Glycation
   • Basically too much sugar can promote aging. Sugar can mix with protein and fats leading to Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are able to accelerate the aging process by churning out free radicals and promoting inflammation.
4. Stress
   • Here we are taking stress seriously pin pointing out the stress hormone in our body which actually increase our pulse rate and blood pressure which can also promote chronic inflammation and even worse affect our brain tissue at the hippocampus affecting our long term memory functions.

So since now that you understand the process of aging and the reaction in our body that actually promote aging then I guess delaying aging is not that hard isn’t it? All you have to do is

• Put yourself up on an anti-oxidant diet

• Don’t forget the anti-inflammatory diet

• Eat less sugar

• Rest and exercise more

Yes indeed you could, there are many books or articles in the internet these days which will be able to teach you what antioxidant or anti-inflammatory food or supplement to eat to stay younger and healthier.. That is if you already knew these earlier and had been keeping yourself healthy with all these knowledge.

How about those who already gone through all the aging process leading to various tissues damage in the body and only get to know all these now? Is it too late for them? Of course not, other than all these ‘keeping yourself healthy’ knowledge, you should know keep yourself updated of the recent Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) as well!

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

This is a multipotent stromal cells that is able to differentiate into various cell types. In other word, it is a very primitive cell that has the capability to differentiate in any other cells to help in tissue repair and regeneration. With this it is possible to repair or regenerate any tissue which is already being damage or severe due to the process of aging.

Arm Pit Odour (Fox smell)

“Throw your hands in the sky, wave ‘em side to side…”
Some of us can’t dance to that song.
Some of us…can’t wear nice sleeveless tops on our date nights, parties.
Some of us…don’t have friends.


Why? We’re not ugly. We’re just ‘foxy’. Not the sexy meaning of foxy, it’s on the contrary…the foxy smelly odour kind of foxy. People are afraid to be in close proximity with us, because we smell bad.

We can’t raise our arms in public, because people will notice our soaked wet armpits no matter how much deodorant or antiperspirant powder and creams we apply. And no matter how we shave, pluck, wax……the hair….just keep on coming back growing faster than grass. People always say the more the better, the more the merrier. But more sweat and more hair is definitely far more troublesome. Is there anything that can be done to save us from all these nightmares?

Of course there is !

Hyperhidrosis is characterized by abnormally increased sweating or perspiration. It is usually localized to specific parts of the body i.e. hands, feet, armpits, and the groin area, due to the relatively high concentration of sweat glands.

Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTA) is an approved treatment for severe and persistent primary hyperhidrosis of the axilla that interferes with the activities of daily living and that is resistant to topical treatment. After treatment, clinical improvement usually develops within a week after the injection. Clinical studies and researches have shown that treating excessive sweating of the armpits, hands, feet, and face with BTA is safe and effective.

Also, the newest generation of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems – LightPro, produces a precise beam of light energy, which safely transmits through the skin, selectively targets pigment in hair the follicles. When this light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicle of the hair, it converts to heat, which in turn causes thermal damage to the follicle and permanently destroys the hair while leaving our skin intact. The heat also disables the cells responsible for new hair growth.

Basically anyone can be treated with BTA and IPL. Treatments are customized according to your skin type and treatment area. Moreover, IPL treatments are effective on all skin types and any body parts including armpits, legs, back, face, neck, bikini line etc can all be treated.

So now, say BYEBYE to hairy foxy armpits … and HELLO to smooth odorless armpits!!!

Myths about cellulite!

Many women have cellulite, and a lot of them will treat it as an aesthetic problem, but not a medical condition, because cellulite is a normal phenomenon in human. There are several myths and facts of cellulite that I would like to share with the readers of Ido’s clinic.

Myth 1 : Cellulite is caused by excessive fat

Cellulite refers to the skin appearance which turns puckered and dimpled because of disruption of skin structures. Fat tissues are lying in between the skin and muscle layers. Fibrous septa, which is part of the connective tissues, wraps around the fat tissues. Risk factors such as age, genetics, weight change, stress and poor lymphatic drainage can weaken the connective tissues and irregular fat cells protrude through the skin, making the skin tether to the underlying muscles, giving the skin a puckering and dimpling look.

Myth 2 : Cellulite only affects women / obese people

Cellulite affects both men and women, although it is more obvious in women compared to men due to various factors such as female hormone (estrogen) and differences in fat, connective tissues and muscle distribution. Cellulite may be more visible in obese person but it also occurs in thin, young, athletic persons, and even those who have normal body weight.

Myth 3 : Cellulite can be done away by weight loss

As cellulite is not caused by excessive fat tissues, weight loss will not be able to remove skin dimples. In fact, building of muscle tone helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Strength training of the cellulite-affected areas like thighs, buttocks, hips, arms and abdomen works too.

Myth 4 : Drinking plenty of water can reduce appearance of cellulite

Although some studies suggest the culprit of cellulite could be the accumulation of toxin in the body tissues, there is no scientific evidence that drinking plenty of water can reduce the unsightly appearance.

Treatments of cellulite
Radiofrequency (RF) : RF is a promising technology for non- surgical body contouring, as well as fat and cellulite reduction. It generates heat, which helps in tightening the skin by stimulating collagen remodeling. It also improves the removal of fat cells via lymphatic drainage. Thus, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Mesotherapy : This involves the Injection of microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, vitamin and caffeine into the specific areas of the body where the excessive fat is stored. The broken-down fat will then be flushed out of the body. Mesotherapy is used as an assisting therapy to treat cellulite.

Liposuction : Some people turn to liposuction as the treatment of cellulite. Liposuction only helps to remove the fats but is unable to reverse the pucker and dimple skin. In some cases, liposuction worsens the condition as the skin becomes looser after the procedure. However, the new technology of laser assisted liposuction is able to destroy the fats cells, while tightening the skin at the same time.

Massage with topical creams: Vigorous massage may help in improving blood circulation, reducing the toxin level in the body and reducing excessive fluid in the cellulite-prone areas. In addition to massage, effective topical cream can also be used to ameliorate the condition. However, the result does not last long.

Wearing bikini again !

Stretch marks or striae are a common problem for most of the people especially women after giving birth. Not only have they often shied away from their out-of-shape body, the unsightly stretch marks refrain them from wearing bikini again!

Epidermal and dermal layers are intact and in continuity in normal skin. Unfortunately, a sudden rapid growth or weight gain that overstretches the skin layers making the skin has no time to adapt for the change. Subsequently the affected area loses its resilience followed by a breakage within it. 

The area will then appear to be empty and soft to touch. Besides, hormone plays its part too. Glucocorticoid hormone which prevents the fibroblasts from laying down the collagen and elastin fibers is responsible for stretch marks development in most of the cases of pregnancy and some systemic disorders.

Stretch marks can appear as white, purple or brown color in anywhere on body especially those areas where large amount of fat can be found namely abdomen, inner and outer thighs, buttock, arms and breasts.

There are several treatment options available for stretch marks. Fractional erbium glass laser is one of them. After several times of the stretch marks being zapped by the laser, microscopic wounds start to appear and our body responds to it by creating more collagen and new epithelium. Other than that, PRP and mesotherapy will also help in this case where growth factors are carefully embedded into the area that will then gradually do its wonders by promoting the formation of new firm skin. 

Needless to say, the combination of several treatment options is always better than one. The outcome depends on the severity of the problem and frequency of the treatment session. Can’t wait to flaunt your new skin? Take a chance and start making difference today!
