Your Skin Looks Baby Soft!
Looking to inject “a little life” into those frustrating problem areas? Russian salons claim to have the answer.
While most work revolving around the highly debated “stem-cell” research is regulated and confined to petri dishes and microscopes, some salons in Russia are claiming to have the “miracle cure” available to the paying public right now. The problem is that with a largely ineffective overbearing state and the inability or resources to develop effective private review organizations, these Russian salons are free to claim whatever results they please.
This ambiguity in research and results has lead to some varied beliefs of what these medical marvels are capable. From cures for Parkinson’s to paraplegia the seemingly limitless theoretical uses for stem cells are as varied as the imaginations of the paying public. The most recent of which is a belief that stem cells could hold the key to the ever-elusive fountain of youth. But much like Ponce De Leon, those seeking eternal youth may be destined for a lifetime of searching. Stem cell research is just that, still research.
We still aren’t quite sure what effect stem cells can have on an adult body. In theory, stem cells retain the ability to renew themselves through cellular division and can differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types. That means stem cells are basically the equivalent of a wildcard or joker in a poker deck. They have the potential to be anything. The problem with something that can be anything is the belief that it can fix everything. However, there is no nor has there ever been a miracle cure. Each problem has it’s own unique set of issues and are too complex for a single, universal answer.
It has often been said that, “the best cure is the one that works” and that cure now and for the immediate future is Botox. Recent research is projecting an explosion in Botox treatment, stating that only 3% of the potential market is currently receiving treatment. Noticing the potential for growth in the market, many of the statistics and promises provided by the Russian Salon’s are clouded in a haze of self-serving results. All in an attempt to cash in on the growing anti-aging market. Through the haze of medical miracles and cure-alls it’s still best to keep your feet solidly planted on the ground and your head out of the clouds.
