How Stem Cell Facials Help Your Skin's Cell Turnover
If collagen and hyaluronic acid are a part of your skincare routine, but you’re not using stem cells yet, this one is for you. Since the skincare industry industrialized in the 19th century, the world of beauty has seen a lot of changes. If it feels hard to keep up with skincare ingredients today, that’s because it is. Stem cells are a newer concept in beauty, however, they’ve been used with great success in the medical science industry since the 1950s. At the height of preventative and anti-aging skincare, adding stem cells to your next facial brings your skin to the next level of rejuvenation.
Stem cells are specialized cells that create cell turnover, think of them as your internal repair system. With cell turnover, new skin cells replace existing ones to help the skin glow, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and increase collagen. These cells encompass every element of the skin, from collagen, hyaluronic acid, and DNA to RNA(I), fibroblasts, and lipids. They can protect, correct, and rejuvenate the skin, with incredible anti-aging properties that improve tone, texture, skin conditions, and hydration.
Cells are always changing in the body, affected by environmental elements like sun exposure and free radical damage. Stem cells allow your skin to rebuild and rejuvenate areas that would otherwise stay damaged. After a stem cell facial, you can expect deep hydration and glow, but it’s really in the subsequent days, and even weeks that you see the cell turnover take its course.
Like any skincare routine, results reflect best with consistent use. This means adding stem cells to your monthly facial. While our body's cell turnover rate doesn’t stop, the turnover rates significantly decrease over time. For instance, for teens, it takes roughly 14-20 days for cells to turnover, in your 40s the turnover rate is 45-60 days. In your 50s and beyond the turnover rate slows to 60-90 days. This makes stem cell therapy in your 30s and beyond the perfect time to give your skin the extra push it needs to reduce fine lines, and wrinkles, and reveal an overall youthful appearance.
Nearly 100 years ago, face cream became a hero product for the first time, advertising baby-soft skin when used. As industries like tech, science, and beauty continue to merge, our skin benefits from new ways of mitigating signs of aging. If you weren’t privy to stem cells in facials before, may this crash course into its benefits guide you into more radiance while upping the ante at your next facial.
