The next frontier in skin aging!

WATCH THE FULL EPISODE

Who hasn’t heard about stem cell therapies curing disease, organs being grown in petri dishes, and 3D printing of crucial body parts? It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, doesn’t it? These new therapies promise to cure diseases and help us live longer, healthier lives. But how do you know what’s real and what’s just hype?

Regenerative medicine is a cutting edge and rapidly growing field of medicine with a focus on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues and organs. When it comes to skin health, regenerative medicine shows a lot of promise. It could help reverse hair loss, heal burns and scars, improve wound healing, and even slow down aging.

Listen to this week's podcast episode where Dr. Saranya Wyles and I discuss what regenerative medicine is, current available treatments, and the future of regenerative medicine in improving skin health.
