A propane explosion left a Georgia woman’s face unrecognizable, according to a recent New York Times Article. An amniotic membrane graft was applied to her face. An amniotic membrane comes from the placenta and contains stem cells and other substances that wholly and rapidly healed her face. Ultimately, her facial appearance was restored to its appearance before her severe burn. Amniotic membranes have been used to heal foot wounds and damage to the eye’s cornea.

When introduced to parts of the body that are aging or have damaged cells, stem cells reproduce, replacing the old cells with new ones using the power of your body’s natural healing processes for tissue repair and restoration. This process provides long-lasting results that don’t depend on artificial substances or surgical intervention. Stem cells used in conjunction with growth factors are an effective therapy for reversing the signs of aging. As we age, our cells become old, senescent, and dysfunctional. Umbilical stem cells are new, more youthful, and more viable than our aging cells. Stem cell rejuvenation acts in several ways to improve the skin – restoring elasticity skin texture, tightening skin tone and texture, firming underlying facial tissues, hydrating skin, and boosting antioxidant levels.
