Stem Cell Beauty Scam: Illegal Acts As Corporate Bosses And Scholars Rocking Qian Shu

How does a company called the nation's largest stem cell company perform the "beauty scam"? How does a country's ministries and commissions repeatedly declare that the illegal industry becomes the "rocking Qian Shu" of the business owners and researchers?

On March 2012, Tang Jing, a 56 year old Hangzhou retired cadre, asked around.

In the past few months, the legendary "universal beauty needle" is attracting her through friends' personal statement and advertising.

The beauty treatment in publicity is like this: first we extract stem cells from ourselves and then send them to professional organizations to process and remove stem cells from useless ingredients and then return to their faces.

This process costs a lot. The low is fifty thousand or sixty thousand, and the high is hundreds of thousands.

In return, there is nothing that any stem cell research scientist promises to do now: rejuvenate and restore youth.

Beauty agencies are talking nonsense.

Tang Jing inquired "

"Stem cell science network" is sponsored by Shenzhen Bio Technology Co., Ltd., known as China's largest stem cell enterprise.

Over the past few years, the company has been controversial.

"No matter how much it is, the beauty of stem cells is illegal, and the health sector has never approved it."

Wang Xiaojun, Professor of plastic surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

The Ministry of health and the State Food and drug administration have also made repeated clarifications.

"We will never allow our family to accept stem cell beauty products."

Many researchers engaged in stem cell research, as well as cosmetology professionals, told the Southern Weekend reporter.

"We can not verify its effectiveness in beauty."

Xiang Peng, deputy director of the stem cell and tissue engineering research center of Zhongshan University, said: "anti-aging is a vague concept. Beauty depends solely on the subjective feelings of the patient, without objective criteria."

Associate professor Liao Lianming, editor in chief of the Journal of Chinese cell and stem cell, is worried that because there are no legitimate products, it is hard for you to identify what exactly is inside the body.

A variety of injections have been replaced: collagen, estrogen, Human Placental Histosolution, human fetal hormone, and even saline.

These products are cheap, and they are worth hundreds of times when they put on the beautiful clothes of stem cells.

Because of unknown ingredients, "stem cell beauty needle" has become the "time bomb" in the body. Estrogen is prone to breast cancer because of more estrogen, and physiological saline can cause edema.

In the media report of 2006, the stem cell beauty products produced by Shenzhen Hebrew and West Bo Tai and other companies had hurt consumers and even spread HIV.

"We are new products, no batch numbers, but only technical guarantees provided by North Branch."

The Shenzhen Jing Fu hospital, which is working with North Ke biology, admitted in consultation.

Liao Lianming pointed out that because the state did not approve stem cell beauty products, even genuine products, there were almost no channels to ensure safety.

"Academics have debated whether cell proliferation is carcinogenic."

Liao Lianming said that even in the developed countries of the United States, although a number of clinical trials have been reported by the agencies, they have always been in the "safe and effective" certification stage.

Enterprise bosses take advantage of advantages and avoid disadvantages.

However, "stem cell cosmetology has been a big fan of investment circles."

Medical industry investor Lin Yang (pseudonym) said that since 2003, it has been popular in the market in the past second years. Despite repeated attacks, the market is getting bigger and bigger.

Lin Yang had tried to cooperate with the North Branch, but he finally decided to give up.

"Its technical threshold is not high, and its safety is also questionable."

Lin Yang said that the opening of a biological production of stem cell beauty products, about only tens of square meters of laboratory, investment of around 5 million yuan.

"A few technicians together, buy some instruments, can produce immediately."

"5 million yuan investment is already the best equipment, facing the high-end group."

Zhang Fabao said.

"Each stem cell beauty product preparation costs about two thousand to three thousand yuan, and the wholesale price recommended by the market is five thousand to eight thousand yuan."

Lin Yang said.

After accounting, it only takes six months to a year or so to recover all the cost.

Greater profits may lie in sales.

Shenzhen Jing Fu hospital received a consultation at the Southern Weekend reporter, saying that it was fifty thousand to sixty thousand yuan each time through skin injection.

"More directly from the company.

North Ke biology, which has more than 70 stem cell therapy centers in China and Southeast Asia, has been severely criticized by academia since its birth. The international scientific community, including Nature, has questioned its research methods and business models for more than once.

North Ke has been vigorously promoting "working with local hospitals to provide stem cell therapy for patients". Its chairman, Hu Xiang, did not forget to publicize his face on many occasions because he had been injected with stem cell products and became young.
