Fibrocell is a technique that involves using a patient's own fibroblast cells for therapeutic purposes. Fibroblasts are the primary cells of connective tissue and play a crucial role in the production of collagen, a protein responsible for skin tightening and wound healing. Over time, the number of fibroblast cells in the human body naturally decreases. This decrease contributes to the formation of wrinkles and sagging.
With the Fibrocell technique, fibroblast cells are collected from the patient's own tissue and then multiplied in a laboratory setting. Once cultured, these cells are reintroduced to the patient's body. This approach aims to counteract the effects of decreased fibroblast cell count, leading to improved skin firmness and a reduction in sagging and wrinkles.
