Body fat, an ally to rejuvenate and improve health
A new perspective on body fat suggests that it can be a therapeutic resource for enhancing health and appearance, according to Dr. Jorge Planas from Clínica Planas.
For years, body fat has been viewed solely as something to eliminate, but recent advancements in aesthetic and regenerative medicine have dramatically shifted this perspective. Dr. Jorge Planas, a plastic surgeon and medical director at Clínica Planas, emphasizes that fat can serve as a valuable therapeutic resource, capable of improving both the health and appearance of patients. This innovative approach highlights the potential benefits of utilizing body fat instead of viewing it as merely undesirable. From the medical standpoint, Dr. Planas points out the role of body fat as a source of bioregenerative cells. These specialized cells can be harvested through a mini-liposuction procedure and are subsequently processed using specific technologies, like the Time Machine method, which concentrates their regenerative potential. Once prepared, these cells can be selectively injected into various areas of the body depending on the pathology being treated, providing targeted therapeutic benefits. This shift in understanding body fat opens new possibilities in regenerative medicine and aesthetic procedures. By redefining the use of fat from a negative component to a therapeutic resource, the medical community is exploring innovative ways to harness its properties for enhancing health outcomes and aesthetic results. As this approach becomes more widely accepted, it may influence treatment options and patient expectations in the fields of plastic surgery and health enhancement.
