Currently, the field of aesthetic medicine is largely focused on treating the signs and consequences of ageing, rather than tackling its root cause. This is no surprise, as reversing the ageing process has long been viewed as impossible. However, recent scientific advancements such as epigenetic reprogramming1,2 have led to a much deeper understanding of the ageing process and more importantly, have demonstrated unequivocal evidence that ageing is a modifiable process – just as it can be accelerated, it can also be slowed and even reversed.3 This has resulted in the emergence of a new era of cellular regenerative medicine which tackles ageing from its root cause and offers an unprecedented opportunity for the development of aesthetic therapies and procedures that offer true age reversal.
Ageing is generally recognised by its aesthetic and physical characteristics such as wrinkles and sagging skin. However, it is now known that many of these observable effects are ultimately driven by…
