Dr Edward Robinson discusses a combination approach to regenerative aesthetics using PRP and PRF in synergy with other aesthetic treatments
Regenerative treatments have emerged as a leading focus of medical aesthetics in recent years.1-4 An increasing patient demand for long-lasting, natural results that work with the body’s own healing mechanisms rather than against them,5 combined with the widespread adoption of treatments such as polynucleotides (PNs)6-8 and exosomes,9,10 has been driving market growth.5
In addition, there is a rising demand for multi-modal, combination approaches,11 with combination treatments, also referred to as ‘treatment stacking’12 offering patients more personalised and holistic solutions alongside optimised outcomes.11,13 Recent innovations bring both of these concepts together by allowing us to combine tissue regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with modalities such as microneedling, lasers, PNs and biomodulators.14,15
