May 2026 in “Ibero-American Journal of Health Science Research” Regenerative therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells, are revolutionizing dermatology and aesthetic medicine by offering innovative solutions for tissue rejuvenation and repair. PRP, derived from the patient's blood, is rich in growth factors that stimulate cell proliferation and collagen synthesis, promoting effective tissue regeneration. Stem cells, mainly from bone marrow or adipose tissue, can differentiate into various cell types and actively participate in reparative processes. This narrative review highlights the biological foundations, clinical applications, and recent advances of these therapies, emphasizing their safety, efficacy, and transformative potential in aesthetics. It also discusses current limitations and future prospects, stressing the need for more robust clinical studies to standardize protocols and optimize outcomes, ultimately representing a promising approach to personalized, minimally invasive treatments in regenerative dermatology.
