Regenerative medicine refers to a therapy that involves the use of a patient's own platelets (through a process called Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP) and adult stem cells (through a process called Adult Stem Cell Therapy) to repair and accelerate body natural healing process and prevent further tissues degeneration related to both medical and aesthetic conditions. PRP is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets, and contains growth factors which may elicit the gathering of stem cells around the damaged region stimulating cellular proliferation and tissue regeneration. In the case of adult stem cell therapy, stem cells are found in specialised areas of many tissues, including bone marrow and fat.
