Hello, I'm not quite sure if this is the right section to post my question so please forgive me if it isn't.
My question is about mesenchymal stem cells taken from fat tissue and injected in a scar for healing. I'm aware this is a cosmetic issue and least of importance but I was reading on a forum how this can be used to improve acne scars. I was curious if this could be used to heal all types of scars like burns or stretch marks?
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to another forum so I will not. But the doctor(he said he was research dermatologist) said that the mesenchymal stem cells are extracted from fat(usually from the abdominal) and cultured to increase and multiply their numbers and then injected in the scar area. He said this treatment is being performed in Asia already. He even posted pictures with results and links to studies. However, his mail box is full and I can't send him a pm so my next best chance to asking if this can be used for other type of scaring(besides acne) is here at this forum.
Again I'm sorry if I offend anyone by asking this with so many other important issues at hand. I'm just curious about this healing other types of scars. Thank you for your time.
