i have stopped believeing things like anything will work. people on here make new posts about miracle cures and then u never hear from them again and people waste months talking about it and the starters off the topic go away so who cares anymore!

make sure the light and angles match perfectly. also i wonder if any of you guys have any background in making a website. A website about these new scar treatments would be great and would create public awareness about stem cells. Il maybe get the ball rolling on this idk.

also if he has more pictures of this treatment from other people ask if you can get the photos and post them on here

Maybe a blog would do? You can get a free one at blogger.com (google) or wordpress.com 😀

I'll be honest, I've been casually following this thread because the depression associated with scarring has worn on me and worn on me, so I've kind of stopped following the threads for a little bit lately.

 

However, I am interested in hearing what I can do to help test this procedure. Where can I get this procedure done? Where is it being developed? Who's researching it for use specifically with scars?

 

Bulgarian Derm., are there people that will apply this procedure as you would like to do for the right amount of money? Do you envision 100% healing?

BRD, will this stem cell treatment grow hair if the cells are injected in a depressed scar where there is supposed to be hair?

icaretohelp,

Can you please ask Dr. Khan if he only uses stem cells combined with fat or if he ever uses stem cells without combining with the fat.

Thanks!

BRD,

 

Would you consider treating patients once you have confidence that your stem cell procedure works?

he said it depends on the depth of scars..he will always incorporate PRP (platet therapy which he said also has stem cells and such) with fat derived stem cellls (with fat) if the scars are deep. he said though for superficoil scarring PRP is usualy all thats required. Im not going to have much of the latter injected because my scarring is now superficoul. he said though hes going to take a bulk of fat so in the future should i want further improvment it can be done promptly.

hes a good man...very busy but always has time for his patients unlike some other derms.

he said one of the best things about PRP is how red skin around scars tends to go back to a normal color..he also might ask for hair slyvia urine samples etc to see any link between skin problems and body chemistry and then he willl create a customized regiem

icaretohelp,

 

Does Dr. Khan treat hypertrophic scars using stem cells?

 

You mentioned Dr. Khan uses platelet therapy. Does he stimulate bone marrow to augment the number of stem cells in the blood before extracting the blood to be injected into the scar?

 

Thanks!

yes on me he said id only need platet but he will culture stem cells from my fat and combine them with platlet therapy if platet therapy isnt enough.(2 months after my PRP..im doing lipo on the same day for my nxt potential injection) ( he said they both do the same job but tthe latter which invloves liposuction would be a better option for deeper scars) he said platet therapy is also wonderfull at improving the Tone of the skin..he said some ppl with rosacea induced by a weakedn epidermis cos of acne scarring notice after PRP that there skin looks more porcelin.

if u guys have any other questions just contact him..i travvked from bahrain to london to see him..im back in bahrain now..ill be going back to the uk on the 5th and im going in for my prp and lipo on the 6th..the lipo is for my next injection which would be PRP and Stem cells from the fat.

Well, I wasn't posting this to insult you, your level of intelligence, or anyone else agreeing with you on this topic; but I'll let you feel better about that, I could care less what you think of me.

 

All that I was trying to point out honestly, is how rediculous this sounds. At what point or cost will you go to get rid of your acne and/or scars?? This is kind of similar to the Hollywood stars that paid thousands of dollars when Liposuction was a new miracle procedure and cost 10X what it does now... Back then it seemed to be the perfect answer to a simple problem, and look at it now..

 

Stem cell research is still a HUGE morality issue ALL AROUND.. no matter which way you look at it, for many different reasons. It's reguardless of the type of ailment it's hoping to help... OR how the procedue is done or in which manner...

 

But if you want to take those cells from your stomach and combine them with fat cells, have them cultured in a petri dish just to have a few scars minimized.. Go ahead. I just joined acne.org and love this site... But this, is simply rediculous.

 

I'm just like everyone else on here when it comes to my acne. But I don't believe in the miracle cures out there, and I don't want false hope. I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on something that isn't guaranteed to work... and I don't want some doctor playing god with my skin... Yes I get depressed too and I'd do anything to have beautiful skin... but within a reasonable explanation or method.
