Adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) are some undifferentiated cells present in adult adipose tissue, possessing self-renewal ability and certain differentiation potential. They are intermediates between pluripotent stem cells and mature adipocytes.
1.Abundant source. Adipose derived stem cells are abundant in adipose tissue, and experiments have shown that the number of stem cells per 100ml of adipose tissue is 40 times that of an equal amount of bone marrow;
2. Convenient access to materials. Subcutaneous fat resection is a common surgical procedure that causes minimal pain to patients and minimal damage to the body;
3. Better vitality. Adipose derived stem cells can stably proliferate in vitro, with a low decay rate and more long-lasting activity.
4. Higher usage safety. Adipose derived stem cells have low immunogenicity and good immune regulatory function, and a large number of clinical trials have verified their safety in use;
5. More usage times .Storing ADSCs can not only be used by oneself, but also by family members.
Liposuction (liposuction refers to the use of negative pressure suction to wash out excess fat from certain parts of the body, in order to achieve rapid local weight loss)
Purification (purification is the separation and purification of adipose stem cells from adipose tissue through enzymatic digestion)
Culture (culture is the rapid and stable expansion of adipose stem cells using a culture medium in a suitable environment in vitro)
Identification (identification includes quality testing of over 80 types of identified cells, including identifying cell identity by detecting the expression of surface proteins on adipose stem cells)
Application (stored in cell bank)
Since the discovery of adipose derived stem cells in 2001, plastic surgery with a focus on repair and reconstruction and cosmetic medicine with a focus on rejuvenation have conducted various explorations and research on adipose stem cells, which has also promoted the clinical application of adipose stem cells.

Can the extracted fat be directly filled?
It is not simple to extract and fill the fat. A part of the extracted fat is digested by collagenase to extract stem cells, and then the stem cells are mixed with other fat through purification, so as to increase the concentration of stem cells in fat tissue, transplant the surgical site, and play a better role.
What is autologous fat filling?
Autologous fat filling, also known as autologous fat transplantation, is the process of transplanting one's own adipose tissue from one area to another after treatment. Due to its ability to achieve the effect of a filling agent and its safety and effectiveness, it is currently widely used throughout the body, such as facial fat filling, breast augmentation, hip augmentation, and so on.
