Stem cell therapy is an innovative method used in the treatment of various diseases. Stem cells are basic cells that have the ability to transform into many different cell types in the body. The most important advantage of stem cell therapy is the regeneration and re-functioning of damaged tissues; however, it should not be forgotten that this treatment method is not yet accepted as a definitive solution for many diseases. The effectiveness and safety of stem cell therapy is a subject of ongoing research.
Health problems where cellular products, which have undergone dizzying developments towards becoming one of the most important treatment options of modern medicine today, can be a treatment option are as follows;
Peripheral artery diseases,
Chronic critical extremity ischemia and foot ulcers,
Chronic non-healing wounds,
Cartilage degenerations,
Soft tissue wound treatment,
Skin rejuvenation and tightening,
Hair transplantation applications,
Filler applications,
Facial bone and soft tissue traumas
Maxillofacial surgery
Facial deformities and immunotherapy treatments
WHO CAN RECEIVE STEM CELL TREATMENT?
Patients who are diagnosed appropriately for stem cell treatment and are of appropriate age and physical condition can benefit from stem cell treatment.
WHAT ARE STEM CELL SOURCES?
The most commonly used sources are bone marrow, umbilical cord, joint fluid or membrane, and umbilical fat tissue.
Stem cell treatment is the process of using stem cells to treat a disease and is carried out by multiplying the person's own stem cells and applying them to the problematic area. This treatment method includes various applications such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate transplantation and plays an important role in the treatment of joint and cartilage diseases, especially conditions such as arthritis seen in the knee joint.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is a method based on the treatment of the lesion by surgically or by injection of mesenchymal stem cells obtained from the bone marrow of a patient with joint cartilage damage. In this method; for the treatment of the lesion, not the patient's cartilage cells, but the mesenchymal stem cells that will transform into cartilage cells are used.
Remember, it is important to consult a specialist for more information about treatment methods.
