Coconut Scar,
I am very interested in following your story. There are a couple plastic surgeons using stem cells only. Renalto Calibra in Beverly Hills, CA and Mark Berman in CA. Neither does PRP. I do not know anyone on the east coast using stem cells only. Please keep us updated on your progress.
Bod:evolve Becomes The First Colorado Surgical Center To Perform Stem Cell Enriched Cosmetic Surgery
how can they claim they are the first offering this when others are basically offering the same thing as i understand it; a FAT TRANSFER
is it just me or is everyone trying to capitalize on the term " Stem Cells."
I hope to God it's true..we need something..
i almost went to a local place to have my cells banked but the problem is; because this isn't fda approved yet; a doctor wont perform a real stem cell procedure and nobody really knows how these cells will behave in the future.. will we grow tumors? who knows?
now a fat transfer has been around for a long time and there are stem cells in fat..people have reported better texture of the skin after the fat transfer procedure.. but i've never spoken to such a patient to know for sure.
this is all very confusing...i'm not sure what steps to take at this point until i do more research.
Has anybody here actually talked to a dermatologist recently, that is offering this treatment? If so, could you please ask this doctor, whether he/she knows someone offering this treatment in Germany?! I am suffering under two large hypertrphic scars on my face since almost 6 years now and I'd like to get them excised. But combining the surgery with this stem cell treatment would be great I think; it could result in no scarring after the excision, right?
Please read my thread about a similar technique >>>
Regards, Jan from bad old Germany
hey guys,
this is the most recent news on stem cell, where they use the stem spay to heal scars caused by acne and burning. though this technique was previously designed to heal burn scars.
they say that it is s most effective in those patients where only the upper layers of skin are damaged.(acne scar?)
and the effects are "able to heal properly, leaving them with no traces of the previous affliction."
and"with scars "virtually" gone within a year. "
this is the source

this is the website, just leave out the spaces. for some reason the website is not showing.
Not trying to bring up old posts but http://www.newyoumag.com/magazine/spring-2...ell-revolution/
New You is a magazine that usually is found in cosmetic surgeon offices. I seen this article and thought I would post. Though not 100% related to ance it did mention stretch marks and I thought then why not ance too?
I've read some interesting articles lately about stem cells being trialled to regenerate spinal cord cells in humans and to restore eyesight in mice but I think we're looking at a good 10-15 years before we start getting products giving dramatic results in skin wounds. Even if someone tomorrow conducted a miracle study that improved scars 99% it would take 3-5 years to hit the market.
That's not correct. Google Professor Augustinus Bader (University of Leipzig). He developed a treatment to heal wounds without scars at all!! There are already a few patients, that underwent the treatment, and it worked (it was in the news, german state television, THERE SHOULD BE A LINK, BUT SOMEHOW THEY ALWAYS DISAPPEAR)
There's is an ongoing clinical trial with burn victims.
I've read a lot about stem cell treatments, I've heard doctors say things... And from that I personally conclude that stem cell treatments fixing scars is not going to happen any time soon, if ever. Other things will happen and they might happen on the short term and they may eliminate scars but stem cell treatments... I think using stem cells by themselves in the first place isn't enough. Ugh, I remember the guy who started this thread giving everyone hope while he knew what he was saying wasn't 100% true. Not cool. He said to someone here "You can get your skin back the way it was." basically while he was talking basically about fat injections... lol Come on.
I firmly believe that scars can be fixed at some point but it's going to be done eventually by a treatment which will get some process going in people's bodies which may envolve stem cells but a treatment which uses stem cells first and foremost or only? Not going to happen.
Imo.

The tratment is there, and it is based on stem cells. READ before you talk. Professor Augustinus Bader from the University of Leipzig has developed it, they showed everything on TV, wound healing process included!!!!
For god's sake - NO!!!!
Bader is a reputable german scientist, he is working at a german university. He developed a METHOD (stem cells and cytokines applied to a support material matrix, that is placed on the wound). The trick is, to make the body believe, the wound is a very small wound, so it will heal scarless !!!!! Again: READ (all data about his science, and his method, which is called SANAMANDER, is also available in ENGLISH, which is quite common in SCIENCE)
I tried to post links to his work many times, but they're always gone, as soon as I submit the post - I talked the acne.org guys many times about this problem.
Just look for Professor Augustinus Bader (University of Leipzig). Good articles about his work were published by some german newspapers like "Sueddeutsche Zeitung (SZ)", or "Die Welt", or in TV, for example on NDR (you can search google with "Prof. Augustinus Bader NDR", or "Prof. Augustinus Bader Sanamander").
