Platelet rich plasma (PRP) and its counterpart platelet rich fibrin (PRF) have a long history of success. Using your own body’s resources, PRP and PRF work with your body’s own repair mechanisms to help tissue function better. Injected along or used in conjunction with treatments such a microneedling, it enhances the in-office treatments such as microneedling. While they both promote collagen and healing, they differ by the processing in the fact that PRP is spun at higher speeds, making it a favorite when used with hair restoration treatments. 

With the tagline of – connect not correct- exosomes act a tour guide or messenger to signal your body’s own repair process. What that means is it stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin as well as reduce inflammation (redness) and accelerates wound healing. Exosomes may be administered alongside microneedling to promote expedited recovery and achieve enhanced outcomes. 

Derived from cultured stem cells (plant or human sourced) secretomes targets multiple pathways at once. Referring to everything a cell releases, including growth factors, proteins, sceretomes signal cells to collaborate constructively to repair and restore. 

Polynucleotides, the natural DNA fragments derived from salmon act a powerful bio-stimulators to regenerate at a cellular level, boosting collagen, hydration, and elasticity. Stands out when combined with microneedling for the glass skin effect and to expediate the healing process. Overall, PDRN improves skin function. 

The focus with both natural fat grafting treatments can differ. Nonafats is emulsified fat, rich in stem cells and is used to improve skin color, texture and soften fine lines. Microfat, uses intact fat cells for volume restoration such as cheeks and temple areas of the face. Both can be used together for deep structural improvement and high-level skin rejuvenation. Think of nanofat as a skin booster and microfat for filler effect. 

These are a few of the latest updates in what is trending in the skin and hair industry for regenerative options. As science continues to delve into the mysteries of aging, it is important to do your research to be acquainted with your options and which works well with your lifestyle, expectations, and budget. Consult with a licensed professional to help you weigh treatments and which is more tailored to your needs.
