To bring us into the future of stem cells in aesthetics, regenerative medicine pioneer Dr. Steve Cohen joins Dr. Bass for a conversation about the future of this innovative area of medicine. 

Because stem cells are not fully differentiated, they have the ability to turn into a muscle cell, a skin cell, or a blood vessel lining cell. This versatility allows them to be used in plastic surgery, where benefits include improving blood supply, making new blood supply, reducing inflammation, and repairing tissue, to name a few.

In the future, stem cells might be used for such applications as rehabilitating the tissue during breast reconstruction before putting a breast implant in, healing or reversing radiated tissue in head and neck cancer patients, or in combination with laser treatments for the best possible skin resurfacing results. 

Dr. Cohen and Dr. Bass share how stem cells can be incorporated today to get ideal results and how they might help reduce the complexity of procedures and increase longevity of results in the future.
