Brawijaya Hospital offers natural regeneration through stem cell therapy

The medical field is undergoing a significant paradigm shift, moving away from a sole reliance on chemical drugs and aggressive surgical procedures towards longevity medicine and regenerative therapies. This modern approach focuses on activating the body's natural healing and repair capabilities from within, rather than just managing symptoms. In response, the Brawijaya Hospital Group has introduced the Brawijaya Regenerative Stem Cell Center, now accessible throughout its hospital network. This new center combines advanced living cell (stem cell) and secretome technology, which involves signaling molecules that promote cell growth. Its services cater to the public's needs in aesthetics, plastic surgery, and orthopedics. Devin Wirawan, President Director of Brawijaya Hospital Group, stated, "We are integrating the most advanced regenerative technology with a single mission: to tangibly improve patients' quality of life through healing at the cellular level. Supported by a team of certified experts and stringent safety standards, we are committed to becoming a global standard medical excellence center for every patient." In aesthetics and plastic surgery, stem cell therapy is revolutionizing personal care. Dr. Tasya Anggrahita, a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, explained that beauty treatments have evolved. Initially, skin issues were addressed with external cosmetics. This was followed by aesthetic medicine, which focused on repairing damaged tissue from the outside. "Now, we are entering the era of longevity medicine. We focus on how the body can be healthy and regenerate well, thereby slowing down the effects of aging," Dr. Tasya said. The aging process of facial skin is influenced by complex factors, including genetic expression decline, collagen degradation, hormonal changes, and unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking, poor diet, pollution, and insufficient sleep. Lack of sleep deprives cells of crucial recovery time, leading to premature damage. Visibly, skin that was once plump and fresh in youth can begin to sag significantly after age 50. Naturally, when body cells become damaged or aged, they signal for stem cells within the body to repair the damage. External stem cell therapy acts as a supplementary supply to accelerate this recovery process. Compared to other skin booster therapies, such as those using salmon DNA, stem cell-based therapy offers a more comprehensive approach by supporting tissue regeneration from within, repairing damage at the cellular level, and producing growth factors.
