Latest study revealed that we can get rid of skin problems such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation from sun or wounds and wrinkles without requiring surgery. By increasing individual’s own stem cells we can overcome this problem. A group of doctors from the Cosmetic Acupuncture Academy in the United States, conducted the research. The results were shared in a conference held in California. Natural therapy methods were consider in that seminar. Many immunologists, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons from all over the world attended the conference.
Buğra Buyrukçu, a Turkish immunology expert and chairman of the Women’s Health Association in capital Ankara, address the conference. He explained that uneven skin, acne, discoloration and wrinkles happened due to the deformation of skin’s collagens. This is cause by genetic factors or aging, and some environmental factors like using too much cosmetics or bad drinking and eating habits. Hence, drinking less water or eating processed food, smoking, drinking alcohol were some factors that damage the skin.
Buyrukçu said that this new method called Natutox. It is a type of natural botox which increases blood circulation in the skin that restore stem cells. Therefore, the stem cells helps in rising the collagen and elastin level in the skin, “allowing blemishes, marks, and wrinkles to fade,” he said.
Method
The method consist of three stages. Starting by cleansing the dirt from skin. Then pricking the skin with small needles to increase the blood supply to affected area. “After the blood supply is increased to the skin, the stem cells responsible for rebuilding begin to work more intensively in the problematic area,” Buyrukçu said. This method is similar to Kim Kardashian’s famous “vampire facial”. Then addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into her skin occurs after micro-needing . However, after needling in Naturatox, an aromatherapy solution is a and left for five minutes on skin. The solution increases the amount of stem cells produced. To speed up elastin and collagen production, they used red light therapy that helps skin to repair itself.
The study used four groups. These groups underwent different types of treatments. Some treated with collagen boosting and light therapy while others only wore sunscreen. “With the Natutox method, the scientists achieved a success rate of 76 percent, and wrinkles were significantly reduced while their scars disappeared,” Buyrukçu said.
Requirement for Treatment
They already started this treatment in Turkey and have observed no side effect. Buyrukçu also said that this technique for skin problems does not present any obstacle for people taking any medicine or suffering from illness like heart disease or diabetes. According to the doctors, treatment is applicable above the age of 30. So, there are 16 sessions and needs a follow up once a year after completion. Doctors also suggest to repeat the whole process after five years.
