The Benefits of Stem Cell and PRP for Facial Rejuvenation

March 8, 2015

When women begin aging lots of things change about them. it is natural that these changes happen as some of the bodily processes also comes to a halt for example production of crucial hormones that make women be what they are stops. these hormones estrogen and progesterone are known to play very crucial roles in the general wellbeing of women but there production will stop during menopause, however I dint mention these hormones to highlight the effects of hormones on the appearance of the skin, no, just highlighted them to give examples of what happens before aging and what stops during aging. The body has its own mechanism of keeping itself young and rejuvenated. the stem cells has a crucial purpose in ensuring that the skin is in good health but as aging sets in the body will not have enough of these stem cells to help in keeping the skin younger and beautiful. Therefore it is necessary to supplement the amounts of the stem cells to ensure that the skin maintains its aesthetic properties even during aging. The supplementation of the stem cells in the body to help in facial rejuvenation can be done through platelet Rich Plasma therapy.

Platelet Rich Plasma for facial rejuvenation

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is a safe and effective strategy of facial rejuvenation. It is safe since PRP is produced from your own blood; therefore there is no risk of an allergic reaction. In addition, PRP contains concentrated amount of white blood cells, your natural defenders against infections. As a result, infection is extremely rare with PRP treatment. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an extract of your own blood that contains three to five times more platelets, growth factors, and active proteins for tissue and injury healing. It has been used medically for years to accelerate wound healing; repair tendon, ligament and joint damage; heal diabetic ulcers; and help regrow muscle and bone. for facial rejuvenation, when PRP is injected beneath the skin it will cause a localized stem cell response, over a time the stem cell response recruits collagen-producing cells called fibroblasts. The fibroblasts replace tissue that has been damaged or lost through the aging process with healthy skin that looks refreshed, rejuvenated and aesthetic. PRP owes its effectiveness to the medicinal properties of blood platelets. Platelets are important for clotting our blood and repairing our body. They also release ‘growth factor’ which stimulates stem cells to repair and produce new healthy tissue. Platelet rich plasma is obtained by separating it from your blood with a centrifuge. Because your own blood is used there is no danger of disease transmission or allergies.

Benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma therapy

Platelet Rich Plasma has several medicinal qualities and has been used for quite a long time in healing certain diseases and it is these healing properties of PRP that has made it a target for healing degenerative diseases. Its properties as anti-aging agent have made it a target by cosmeticians. PRP has can be used in treating the following;

Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
Tightening and toning skin
Mild collagen and volume loss
Crow’s feet and dark under eye circles
Acne scarring
Dull dry skin
Creepy neck
Back of hands

Advantages of Using Platelet Rich Plasma in facial Rejuvenation

Low risk of disease transmission and allergic reactions because your own blood is used
Non-surgical with minimal side effects (bruising is really the only side effect)
Natural: uses your own platelet cells with high concentration of growth factor
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are “bioactive” stimulators and not fillers and it will increase collagen providing a gradual increase in skin thickness.
The impact of treatment is seen within a short time i.e. visible results appear the first treatment session.

stem cells Prior to your PRP treatment, your blood will be drawn, like taking a standard blood test, causing minimal pain and thereafter the blood will be separated into its ingredients. With advanced technology separation of platelet rich plasma can be easily done through a process of centrifugation. After separation of PRP from blood, the degree of skin aging will assessed. The doctor will perform a simple skin analysis, and recommend a sensible treatment with a reasonable outcome. After your skin is cleansed and prepared, local anesthetic cream may be applied. If the entire face is to be treated, PRP will be injected via a syringe and applied topically to the skin with a dermaroller. For treating specific areas such as around the eyes and laugh lines, PRP is carefully injected to the targeted area.

Possible side effects of PRP

PRP therapy for facial rejuvenation is an extremely safe procedure owing to the fact that nothing foreign that may cause an allergic or unfavorable immune response is not used. The blood used in PRP is from the patient’s body and hence safe. However some of the side effects of PRP include; mild swelling and bruising. These can last only for a week and then everything is back to normal.

The Nigella Sativa Is Effective In Cancer Treatment

July 20, 2014

Nigella Sativa is a great tool in fighting Cancer

Nigella Sativa After doing a lengthy research on cancer and cancer treatment, a course that I am not stopping any soon, I have learnt that the best cancer treatments are nature given. Natural cancer treatments have been used for a long time as alternative cancer treatments and that seemingly is not going to stop any sooner. The known conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery are not the best options cancer patients wish for. This is because of the very many side effects associated with them. Most cancer patients now prefer natural cancer treatment to conventional cancer treatment methods.

The sudden shift of patient attitude from conventional cancer treatment methods to natural treatment methods has led researchers to do research on several vegetables, fruits and seeds to determine if they can offer an effective treatment option that will be preferred by the patients. Needless to mention the doctors are always trying to find out the most effective ways that can cure cancer without leaving any life threatening side effect.

Doctors have encouraged the consumption of certain fruits and vegetables due to their anticancer properties. The list of these naturally availed cancer treatment is growing everyday as the researchers are discovering new plants that can help in cancer treatment. These fruits, vegetables and seeds are rich in antioxidants that help the body in flushing out the toxins that may encourage the formation of cancer cells. These fruits, vegetables and seeds not only help in prevention of cancer but help strengthen the immune system to fight cancer.

Nigella sativa otherwise known as the black cumin has been identified by researchers to have anticancer properties and hence can be used as an alternative cancer treatment. The medicinal properties of the black seed have been known for centuries. It was used in the ancient Egypt for medicinal purposes. In fact it is a plant that is the most treasured and revered among the ancient Egyptians. Even one of the great people known in the Muslim community; Prophet Mohammed used the black cumin seeds and encouraged his followers to use it too. He said that it could cure everything except death.

In the early 1960’s a lot of research began investigating the medicinal benefits of this black seed. The researches that were done proved the health benefits of the black cumin seeds especially in prevention and treatment of cancer.

Scientists from the Kimmel Cancer Centre in Jefferson recently conducted a research on the black cumin medicinal properties that cleared every doubt about its ability to cure cancer. The researchers reported that the black cumin is effective in destroying cancer cells. Another research that was done by the Cancer Research Laboratory in South Carolina showed that the black seeds enhanced the growth of bone marrow cells by 250 percent, making it one of the most powerful immune boosters ever known. The research also verified that the black seeds inhibited the growth of cancer cells by about 60%.

The black cumin was found to be effective in treatment all types of cancers. It works well on cervical, breast, prostate, brain, blood and pancreatic cancers. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly types of cancer and survival rate of a pancreatic cancer patient on chemotherapy is very slim. However with the black cumin the disease is easily cured.

The research done by the Kimmel Cancer Centre in Jefferson revealed that black cumin contains thymoquinone, which is very effective in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and reducing the sizes of existing tumors quickly. In a study that was done on rats as well as cancerous cells in humans revealed that the black cumin is effective in fighting cancer. Black cumin also helps in reducing the cholesterol levels in the body. High cholesterol levels expose you to cancer risk.

“The herb and oil are safe when used in moderation, and have been used for thousands of years without reported toxic effects,” Hwyda A. Arafat, MD, PhD, associate professor, departments of surgery and pathology, anatomy and cell biology at Jefferson Medical College. He spearheaded the research.

“Every time you take black cumin you are stimulating your immune system to fight on your behalf and increase natural killer cells,” Dr. Gary Null states when endorsing black cumin and its ability to improve the immune system, and treat even the most impossible invaders like cancer and HIV, successfully.

Black cumin helps in fighting the diseases by enhancing the production of the bone marrow cells thereby enhancing the immunity of the body. It also increases the production of interferon and also protects the healthy body cells from harmful effects of foreign bodies. The black cumin also kills tumor cells and improves the antibody producing ability of the body.

The Black cumin also helps in maintaining the overall body wellness and helps in treating other serious diseases as it contains crystalline nigellone which is a very active component. The seed oil also contains beta sitosterol, thymoquinone, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, proteins and vitamins B1, B2 and B3 which are helpful in maintaining a good immune system and fight diseases.

Researchers are always discovering new and better ways to help you stay away from cancer and to treat cancer better. For this reason you need to be updated frequently to make right choices as you fight cancer. Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) has a website that avails you sufficient information to help you fight cancer.
