The Emerging Field of Regenerative Aesthetics-Where We Are Now

Misha Zarbafian et al. Dermatol Surg. .

Abstract

Background: Regenerative aesthetics is an emerging branch of regenerative medicine with therapies aimed at recapturing youthful structure and function using the body's own systems.

Objective: To introduce the field of regenerative aesthetics, and to explore themes and evidence surrounding current and emerging therapies in the field.

Materials and methods: A review of the literature was performed for each of the 3 pillars of regeneration; namely, stem cells, biochemical cues, and scaffolds.

Results: Herein, we provide an overview of the field of regenerative aesthetics, a discussion surrounding the 3 pillars of regeneration, and an overview of the evidence supporting current and emerging therapeutic modalities that could play a pivotal role in the future of aesthetic treatments.

Conclusion: An enhanced understanding of this field can serve to further enhance our awareness about the regenerative effects of therapies we already offer, in addition to providing inspiration for future innovation.
