Independent nurse prescriber Kate Monteith-Ross explores regenerative approaches in skin treatments
The landscape of medical aesthetics is shifting from volumetric interventions to prioritising skin health, function and quality.¹ Controlled, minimally invasive interventions that stimulate regeneration are now central to modern medical aesthetics. This includes polynucleotides and amino acid replacement therapy.² Controlled injury followed by targeted biological support can improve healing outcomes, in line with established wound care principles.³ Chemical peels and injectable biorevitalisation are established modalities which, in combination, may harness cutaneous repair mechanisms more effectively than either alone. Biorevitalisation is a minimally invasive intradermal treatment using hyaluronic acid with bioactive compounds such as vitamins and antioxidants. Evidence highlights the role of ascorbic acid in modulating collagen synthesis, cellular proliferation and hypoxia-inducible…
