Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the adipose-derived stem cells therapy is effective in the treatment of facial rejuvenation.

Detailed description

This study will be a prospective study of patients who undergo adipose-derived stem cells therapy for facial rejuvenation at the hospital of Xuzhou medical university. The therapy involves injection of patient's own adipose-derived stem cells, which are separated from vacuumed fat obtained through liposuction of abdomen, hip, thigh and so on. It was confirmed the adipose-derived stem cells can be induced differentiation into fat cells, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, muscle cells, endothelial cells and so on under the corresponding condition in the current literature. The therapy has evolved as a less invasive technique for facial rejuvenation compared to more traditional techniques，such as fat cells injection, sodium hyaluronate injection. Through the use of pre and post treatment photos, three-dimensional skin CT, in addition to the therapeutic evaluation, patient satisfaction questionnaire and a clinician assessment, it is our hope that the investigators will confirm the rejuvenating capabilities of adipose-derived stem cells therapy.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BIOLOGICAL	Adipose-derived stem cells	The adipose-derived stem cells therapy involve injection of patient's own adipose-derived stem cells. Local anesthetic will be applied to the face prior to the injection. For adipose-derived stem cells preparation, proper volume of fat cells will be collected from each patient just before each procedure. The stem cells will be injected into each standardized injection point in a superficial manner. The injections points are along the inferior border of cheek and mid-cheek and temple, where will be followed by 10-15 minutes of icing.
