The use of cosmentic solution may change very soon. The stem cell therapy can soon make it possible. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, said that the stem cell treatment can take the place of cosmetic surgery and the technique will be free from any side effect or problems that the traditional techniques bring with. In traditional , plastic and reconstructive surgery bags full of saline or silicone are used to plump up breasts. Chunks of fat are taken from one area of the body and grafted into another. The technique brings many problems. The researchers would separate out multi- or pluripotent adult stem cells and grow them in a petri dish. Depending on how they’re grown and what materials they’re grown in, the stem cells can be coaxed into taking on into different specialties, such as fat or cartilage. Those cells would then be injected into the patient, where they would continue to grow and divide, creating a small amount of natural tissue. No surgery is required.

At such an early age of 18 I surprisingly lost all my hair and went bald. You can imagine yourself how much of a social embarrassment it was. was avoiding and I got completely cut-off with my friend’s circle because everybody was making fun of me. Then one of my friends came up with this wonderful hair loss treatment
and advised me to use it or be forever depressed. I preferred giving it a try and now I am more then glad to have my hair back and in a better state now.
