Stem Cell Facial Therapy --- The Next Big Thing: The Sloane Clinic is
Launching the New Stem Cell AAPE for Skin Rejuvenation
Imagine a "chemical messenger" that can enter skin cells and send a
signal, teaching it to be young again. In time, the skin will begin
to feel naturally rejuvenated, tighter and younger without surgery.
Superficial blemishes and pigmentation will reverse itself, leaving
the complexion flawless and young. Now The Sloane Clinic is offering

Singapore (PRWEB) August 29, 2007 -- Imagine a "chemical messenger"
that can enter skin cells and send a signal, teaching it to be young
again. In time, the skin will begin to feel naturally rejuvenated,
tighter and younger without surgery. Superficial blemishes and
pigmentation will reverse itself, leaving the complexion flawless and
young. Now The Sloane Clinic is offering treatments using AAPE, a
stem cell protein extract that is able to deliver just that.
Stem cells have the unique characteristic of "plasticity" -- they
have the ability to give rise to all of the different tissues of the
human body. In general, stem cells have two distinguishing
characteristics: They are unspecialized, in that they can clone
themselves without limit; and they can differentiate into many cell
types with specific functions.
As you know, no treatment is able to freeze time as our bodies and
skin is subjected to many environmental assaults daily, but this
treatment certainly comes close
Recently, scientists have discovered that human adipose (fat) tissue
has a higher concentration of adult stem cells than any other tissue
in the body. In fact, a given volume of adipose tissue contains 1,000
times more stem cells than the same volume of bone marrow -- 500 mL
of fat can yield approximately 200 million stem cells. Stem cells
have many unique applications in science and medicine, but this is
the first time, protein extract derived from stem cells are used in
the field of cosmetic dermatology.
In July 2007, facial and scalp rejuvenate therapies using AAPE was
introduced at The Sloane Clinic in Singapore. AAPE (advanced adipose-
derived stem cell protein extract) is a mixture of refined growth
factor proteins that is extracted from human adipose-derived stem
cells. AAPE uses proteins or chemical messengers that are extracted
from stem cells found in human fat tissue. These messengers, when
deposited or absorbed into the skin or scalp if that were the case,
would then send a signal to cells in the skin teaching them to
regenerate.
"In a very simplistic way, we are basically using this product to
tell your skin to be young again," says Dr. Low Chai Ling, Aesthetic
Physician of The Sloane Clinic, Singapore, one of the first doctors
in Singapore to offer this treatment to her patients with
overwhelming response.
"These AAPE cells are extracted from human adipocytes (fat cells)
during the process of lipoaspiration (fat suction) and they contain
the maximal number of stem cells in the human body. By cultivating
these regenerative cells in test-tubes, we can establish cell lines
which will serve as a reservoir of stem cells for anti-ageing and
aesthetic therapies far superior than traditional methods of
synthetic chemicals," she added.
Stem Cell as a Therapy
Stem-cell therapy can be viewed as a way to restore embryonic
potential to a patient's aged or damaged cells. The goal of stem-cell
therapy in aesthetic surgery would be to regenerate aging tissue. (of
the face or scalp)
AAPE is the protein messengers extracted from these stem cells, and
hence AAPE have the innate ability to rearrange, change, or repair
local tissues significantly and rapidly. One of the most promising
uses for AAPE may be the regeneration of facial fat that has been
lost through the natural aging process -- facial fat atrophy. AAPE to
could not only replace lost facial volume, but may also be able to
rejuvenate the face by regenerating the skin from the inside out.
AAPE on the scalp can also help with the regeneration of ageing hair
follicles and help stimulate hair growth and reverse the effects of
balding without the need for hair transplant surgery.
A session will take about 30 minutes with multiple tiny punctures and
most will begin to see the effects from your 3rd session onwards.
Most patients will do a series of 6 sessions initially to prime their
skin for long lasting anti-ageing effects.
"As you know, no treatment is able to freeze time as our bodies and
skin is subjected to many environmental assaults daily, but this
treatment certainly comes close," says Dr. Low Chai Ling.
Safety and Efficacy
AAPE which is the growth factors derived from stem cells harvested
from human fat cells have been certified safe by CTFA (Cosmetic.
Toiletry and Fragrance Association) as an approved cosmetic
ingredient (Sep/13/2006)
human adipocyte conditioned media extract. This product is patented.

Stem Cell Facial and Scalp Therapy -- Miracle Facial?
Overall, stem cells raise the prospect of regenerating the aging face
from the inside out, and thereby have the potential to change the
entire practice of facial rejuvenation in the future. Stem Cell
Facial Therapy for anti-ageing and intense facial rejuvenation
purposes (reduction in wrinkles, pigmentation, evening of skin
colour, closure of pores and softening and tightening ) costs around
USD$600* per session. Stem Cell Scalp Therapy to regrow hair and
reverse balding costs around USD$550*. Hair regrowth is usually seen
in 6 sessions, 2 weeks apart.
For most, this is a leap in aesthetic advancement that is going to
revolutionalize the cosmetic industry. And this will bring people a
step closer to their anti-ageing ideal with the least amount of
effort in the long run.
After all, pretty is what you are born with. But beautiful, that's an
equal opportunity.
