If you’ve spent any time scrolling through skin and wellness content recently, you’ve likely come across the term regenerative aesthetics. While it might sound like a new trend, regenerative treatments have long been the foundation of effective, natural looking results, especially when the goal is to age better over time.
Here’s what regenerative aesthetics actually means, why it matters for skin longevity, and the treatments we use at Curated Medical in Scottsdale to activate your body’s natural repair systems.
What Is Regenerative Aesthetics?
Regenerative aesthetics refers to treatments that stimulate your body’s own collagen and tissue renewal processes, helping the skin restore itself, rather than just masking signs of aging.
Unlike traditional injectables or surface level treatments that offer quick but temporary results, regenerative treatments focus on long term skin health and structural integrity. The goal is to trigger the body’s natural ability to heal, rebuild, and maintain youthful skin from within.
Why Collagen Matters
The driving force behind regenerative aesthetics is collagen, the key structural protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and resilient. Beginning in your late 20s, collagen production begins to decline steadily. Over time, that leads to:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity and sagging
- Thinning or crepey texture
- Overall dullness and loss of elasticity
Regenerative treatments work by kickstarting your skin’s healing mechanisms, encouraging the production of new collagen, elastin, and other structural proteins that rebuild and strengthen the skin over time.
What Are the Best Regenerative Treatments for Skin
1. Vivace RF Microneedling
Vivace combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver collagen stimulation on two levels:
- The microneedling creates micro injuries in the skin, triggering a healing response
- The RF energy penetrates the dermis to heat tissue and promote even deeper collagen production
We love Vivace for treating:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines
- Early laxity or skin thinning
- Overall texture and tone
Because it’s safe for all skin types and tones, Vivace is one of our most versatile and effective regenerative options.
2. Sculptra and Radiesse
These injectable biostimulators don’t add volume, they rebuild it.
- Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) and hyperdilute Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) work by triggering your body’s fibroblasts to produce new collagen over several months.
- Unlike traditional fillers, results appear gradually and improve over time as your skin’s own collagen matrix is restored.
We love them for:
- Volume loss in the temples, cheeks, and jawline (Sculptra)
- Volume loss in the neck, chest, hands, or preauricular area (Radiesse)
- Long term facial balancing without overfilling
- Patients who want regenerative results instead of temporary volume
3. PDGF and PRF
DGF (platelet-derived growth factor) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are naturally occurring substances that boost cell regeneration and accelerate healing.
We often apply topically or inject growth factors:
- Under the eyes for crepey texture or dark circles
- After laser treatments to speed recovery
- During microneedling sessions for an added glow and collagen boost
PDGF and PRF both help optimize your skin’s natural regenerative processes, and are ideal for patients focused on graceful aging with minimal intervention.
Regenerative Is the New Preventative
Regenerative aesthetics isn’t just a trend, it’s a shift in how we approach aging.
These treatments are not about chasing quick fixes, they’re about building long-term skin health by using your body’s own healing mechanisms to strengthen and restore itself. Rather than waiting for deep wrinkles or volume loss to appear, regenerative treatments intervene early, preserving your skin’s structure and slowing visible aging over time. Think of it as skin maintenance that compounds, the earlier you start stimulating collagen, the more resilient and youthful your skin remains in the years to come.
Whether you’re interested in Vivace, Sculptra, Radiesse, PDGF, PRF, or a combination of regenerative therapies, we’ll help you create a personalized plan that keeps your skin looking vibrant, firm, and naturally refreshed.
