Stem cells in skincare are nothing new. As of 2023, we've seen this technology evolve since the early 2000s, with skincare brands now combining the benefits of plant stem cells and the power of human stem cells. Let's explore this cutting-edge science and why it’s becoming an essential part of every advanced skincare routine.
Stem cells are special cells with the potential to transform into different types of cells. In skincare, the most common types are plant stem cells and human stem cells.
Plant Stem Cells: These primarily act as antioxidants and protect skin from environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution. While plant stem cells sound sophisticated, their role is mostly in defending skin rather than directly rejuvenating it.
Human Stem Cells: These undifferentiated cells are more potent, especially for anti-aging. While fetal stem cells (the most powerful type) face ethical challenges and are rarely used in skincare, adult stem cells, especially from bone marrow, are widely used to support collagen production and skin rejuvenation. Brands like AnteAGE have researched human stem cells extensively and found that their use can lead to significant improvements in skin health.
Despite their advanced technology, stem cells used in skincare products aren’t alive. Instead, the most effective parts of these cells—growth factors and cytokines—are extracted and used. These components are highly stable and can safely penetrate the skin to enhance cell communication and regeneration without the risks associated with live cells.
One common misconception is that using human stem cells in skincare could introduce risks like infections or diseases. Rest assured, the human stem cells used in skincare are processed in labs and broken down into beneficial components that contain no DNA. This ensures that these products are completely safe for topical use.
Growth factors and cytokines are the key players in stem cell technology. These molecules help cells communicate more effectively, improving how they function and replicate. By restoring cell communication, they rejuvenate skin cells, boost collagen production, and help reverse signs of aging. This results in healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
If you're intrigued by the potential of stem cell skincare, you’re on the path to transforming your skin. At Derma Lab, we offer products that incorporate both plant and human stem cells. One of our favorite lines, AnteAGE, centers around adult human stem cells and offers a range of effective products to help you benefit daily from cutting-edge stem cell technology.
In-office Microneedling: This is one of the best ways to deliver stem cells deeper into the skin, particularly into the dermal-epidermal junction, the layer responsible for skin structure and texture. Microneedling helps stimulate collagen production while allowing stem cells to rejuvenate the skin.
At-home rolling: You can support in-office treatments by using at-home microneedling tools, which help drive stem cells into the epidermis for ongoing anti-aging benefits.
