Regenerative Medicine in Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology

Regenerative medicine focuses on the use of biological methods to repair or replace tissue or organ function that has been lost due to aging, disease, or damage. The use of regenerative medicine techniques in the field of clinical and cosmetic dermatology is growing and centers on improving the treatment of various skin conditions and targeting specific aesthetic concerns. Herein, we review emerging techniques in the field of regenerative medicine and explore how recent advances are being applied in clinical and aesthetic dermatology. More specifically, part 1 of this chapter will dive into common therapeutic and regenerative strategies, including platelet-rich plasma, stem cells, and exosomes. Part 2 of this chapter aims to explore how these novel therapies are emerging in the management of wound healing, scar reduction, anti-aging and skin rejuvenation, immune-mediated dermatoses, and alopecia.
