ABSTRACT
The human body is a remarkable organism. It consists of many trillions of individual cells that have the ability to communicate with one another in a very precise way. Intracellular communication and the body's powers of regeneration remain relatively intact until people reach the age of around 35 years, after which the effects of ageing start to become more pronounced. Changes in our genome that occur over time are a form of genetic memory that can be passed from generation to generation. The indications for utilising regenerative medicine in aesthetic treatments are already extremely diverse – and growing with every new advance in knowledge. Cellular regenerative treatments arguably work via a similar mechanism to these established treatments, which seek to trigger regeneration in response to inflammation and cellular distress caused by ablation. Concentrated growth factors can be used to stimulate tissue repair. Cellular therapies involve the use of stem cells and regenerative cells.
