What is the way to get the elixir of youth?

Do you know that scientists and many researches proved that such a thing cannot be reached, apart from temporary treatments that can postpone the signs of aging to a certain degree? However, there are methods to reach that goal that may seem unusual, but are quite effective, one of these methods is using human or animal placenta, considering the benefits it’s packed with for the health and freshness of the skin.

If you want to maintain a soft healthy skin, let me introduce you to one of the most unusual cosmetic practices, Placenta Therapy! as well as the information that might interest you about this new practice.

Although it may sound gross or unusual, but according to cosmetic, dermatology and venereology experts, the placenta is an effective source of nutrients, and is gaining a lot of interest among beauty enthusiasts lately.

So, what is the placenta exactly?

The placenta develops in the uterus of a woman and all female mammals early in pregnancy and is connected to the fetus through the umbilical cord. the placenta forms the connection link between the two, where all the nutrients and substances in the mother’s blood are transmitted through it to the fetus so that it can grow normally during pregnancy in preparation for birth.

This important transfer process makes the placenta one of the most vital tissues rich in growth factors and nutrients, such as proteins and various vitamins and minerals that help cells regenerate, divide and grow quickly, in addition to around 120 other nutrients that help growth.

All this in addition to being rich in stem cells: which are cells that are able to rapidly regenerate and divide into an infinite number of cells, and help the countless types of cells surrounding them to regenerate. Thus, the use of the placenta for the skin produces a remarkable effect against the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.

In 1960, The benefits of the placenta for the skin have been confirmed by hundreds of studies conducted by scientists in Japan. and as a result, placenta extract has become widely used in cosmetology.

Placenta is made up of parts They are natural materials rich in proteins, hormones, and vitamins, in addition to many important nutrients. These natural materials are:

• the placental tissue
• Membranes surrounded by the placenta
• Amniotic fluid
• The umbilical cord’s blood stem cells
• Amino acids

What are the benefits of the placenta for the skin in particular?

The placenta can be used for any age group and any skin type, There are few exceptions, and they are almost non-existent, given that they are considered completely natural, and skin placenta therapy helps to treat these problems:

• Anti-aging on the skin as it delays the appearance of wrinkles.
• Stimulates cells to regenerate Returns to the face its vitality, health, and freshness
• Protects skin cells and increases their immunity
• Helps the skin get rid of dark spots or discoloration, and improves the uniformity of skin tones.
• Helps build and support blood vessels, increasing blood circulation and its nutrients to the skin and the rest of the cells.

How to use the placenta during treatment (treatment session):

• We start by cleaning the skin well by removing all cosmetics, and washing the face with water and the appropriate lotion for the skin to eliminate any stuck impurities.
• After that, the doctor may use a small suction tube, similar to the one used by dentists, but this type is suitable for the skin, and is used to remove any dirt that may be stuck in the pores even after washing and cleaning.
• Many consider the placenta injection treatment to be painless, and may cause a slight feeling of discomfort or tingling. Others may feel afraid of the expectation of pain or the idea of sticking needles in the face skin area, or injecting placenta extract under the skin. Therefore, a local anesthetic is used to provide complete comfort during the session. The session begins when the anesthetic takes effect after about half an hour.
• Sometimes, The doctor uses small syringes to inject the placenta extract under the skin in different parts of the face, or targeted areas of treatment. In some occasions, the extract is applied directly on the face. Although the extract is easily absorbed, doctors use very fine needles, between 0.5 mm and 2 mm in length, to penetrate the skin at varying depths for the extract to reach the targeted cells faster.
• Injecting the placenta extract over a wide range of the face area skin gives a better effect than injecting it in specific points, because it stimulates all of the face cells to regenerate, and thus improves the results in the end. Each session lasts between 30-60 minutes, depending on the circumstances of each session.
• The type and amount of treatment are determined according to the health status of each patient, in a way that does not conflict with the goal or method, of course.

Tips before treatment with placenta extract:

• Look for an experienced, capable doctor with a good reputation in facial injections and treating facial flaws and problems. Avoid receiving treatment in beauty centers by amateurs or in places that are not adequately medically equipped, which may cause you to get into unnecessary problems.
• The doctor must review your medical history and make sure that you do not suffer from any infection, inflammation or skin diseases that may interfere with or spoil the treatment or may cause you to spread the infection.
• The doctor will talk to you about the steps of the treatment, its purpose, the expected results, and the problems that you want to get rid of in your skin.
• The results of the treatment will involve some key points: Tightening the face, overcoming wrinkles, and increasing the thickness of the skin in the places where it became thin, causing it to sag and wrinkle, in addition to eliminating acne, scars, dark and colored spots in the skin and strengthening blood vessels, thus, increasing and better nourishing the blood flow to the skin.
