Applications in aesthetic medicine
Introduction: Implementing treatments that provide long-term efficacy while being minimally invasive and safe to administer is one of the most difficult challenges in the advancement of aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery. Regenerative medicine is a new, modern, evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach that uses autologous components in order to stimulate the processes of regeneration of tissues and organs. A variety of therapies have been shown to produce satisfactory results. Platelet-rich plasma, adipose-derived stem cells, stromal vascular fraction therapies are becoming more widely available.
Materials / method: Even though these autologous therapies can handle the current demand, various other developments, such as exosomes and autologous fibroblast therapy, are being explored to improve results even further.
The PRP-based substrate and stem cells are the two types of autologous substrate commonly used in these procedures. Additionally, stem cell sources can be bone marrow, fat, and circulatory blood.
Results: We have performed more than 200 aesthetic procedures in face refreshment, treating wrinkles, scars, and soft tissue defects.
Conclusion: Depending on the indications and the specific condition of the patient, we are trying to obtain an autologous substrate that will be highly personalized and will enable us to get the best treatment results. Different therapies are emerging to treat and reverse the signs of ageing. Considerable insights into the molecular pathways driving repair and regeneration have suggested new therapeutic targets and provided a scientific rationale for future clinical trials.
