Regenerative potential of lipofilling on skin aging

چکیده
Background Features of skin aging are progressive cell and extracellular matrix atrophy. Subcutaneous fat plays a key role in it. Recent studies have proved that the vascular-stromal component of adipose tissue is a rich reserve of regenerative cell precursos able to release angiogenic and antiapoptotic growth factors that stimulate cell differentiation [1]. Thanks to the presence of stromal stem cells, the adipose tissue can now be considered an ideal biologic product to biostimulate and correct defects of the face and body. The authors present their experience with the application of lipofilling to rejuvenate the skin envelope of the face and the hands.
