where is the fountain of youth?

Where is The Fountain of Youth?

A geing is a process that everyone will inevitably undergo. We cannot deny or defy it. Eventually, our skin and crowning glory will lose elasticity and luster. There may be no turning back the hands of time, but who says we can’t delay the ageing route?
There is one claim that the fountain of youth may perhaps be just around—and found within us.
The fountain of youth, as its name implies, is supposedly a source of magical water that can cure sickness and reverse the ageing process. According to legend, Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon and his crew discovered the fountain. But according to History Channel Club website (www.history.com), “no surviving documents from the time, including letters from Ponce de Leon himself, ever mention such a fountain.”
But why the obsession with looking and feeling young? Perhaps, youth is associated with happiness, wealth, and good health. And the advancement of technology has seemingly led us to the discovery of our own fountain of youth. This is where the stem cell therapy for aesthetics comes in the picture.
Stem cells are biological cells that possess the capacity to replace injured tissue, increase the formation of new blood vessels, and suppress inflammatory reactions. Once harvested, cultivated, and re-injected back into one’s own body, these stem cells travel and search for any problematic area, including the skin. Hence, the repairing and rejuvenating effects.
Again, the safest sources of stem cells are not animals, donors, or plants but from our own adipose fat, blood, or blood marrow. Among the three sources, the best is the blood marrow because the other two options are found in it.
“We analyze how the body normally heals itself. We are able to identify the electric charge of the body cells, get the youngest and most powerful among them, cultivate them, and get the result of younger and better-looking skin. You cannot go wrong when you use your own (stem cells),” Dr. Samuel Bernal of the Medical City says during the launch of the Regenerative Personalized Stem Cell Technology for Aesthetics, called “Regene”.
Head Dermatologist Dr. Maria Mercedes Cancio-Cruz adds that the stem cell therapy for Regenerative Aesthetics is a holistic and personalized treatment using one’s own stem cells to achieve younger and more radiant skin. The engineered and cultured stem cells are injected directly on the face, neck, arms, or any part of the body that shows signs of ageing. The therapy has no side effects.
One can expect to see immediate results on skin but the lasting effect come from intravenous (IV) injection or the infusion of healthy stem cells into the veins. Each session lasts for 15 minutes or less.
Regene not only caters to the aged but also to the young with skin problems like scars from accidents. It will tighten and smoothen skin, restore skin depressions, and stimulate and renew collagen and skin cells.
