Skin defects such as wrinkles, cavities/dents, and scars are generated by many different mechanisms including the cavities/dents and wrinkles caused by the normal aging of skin tissues as well as the tissue defects or hypertrophic scars due to inflammation.
Using autologous fibroblast for subcutaneous filling and transplant can supplement and assist aging fibroblasts, increase the secretion of extracellular matrix and fibers, and improve and restore the complete structure of the skin, thereby achieving the effect of treating skin defects, wrinkles, and cavities/dents.
Fibroblasts secrete both extracellular matrices and metalloproteases, which degrade extracellular matrices; therefore, they control the intricate balance between the generation and degradation of extracellular matrices. Thus, therapies involving fibroblasts can supplement and reactivate the normal wound healing mechanism, allowing the generation and degradation of extracellular matrices to reach equilibrium, thereby reducing scars.
