Volume 6: Issue 4 | October - December 2023

We hope you are enjoying our new digital format!

If there’s one buzzword that summarises trends in 2023, that’s it. Of course, regenerative medicine and regenerative aesthetics are nothing new, but they have come to the forefront this year with the wider use and popularity of treatments such as polynucleotides and exosomes. That’s why we thought it would be fitting to close out 2023 with a look at this exciting area of
aesthetics, which many are touting as the future.

We give an overview of what these treatments are and why they are so popular before looking into the legalities around exosomes. Roseway Labs provide this month’s CPD article examining the role of DHEA, while Dr Abs
Settipalli gives his views on the trend. If you are thinking about integrating polynucleotides into your practice but are not sure about insurance coverage, then turn to our business section, where Hamilton Fraser will tell you everything you need to know.

As well as this, Dr Mei Yeoh looks at aesthetic approaches through the ages; Paaven Patel tells you how your pharmacy can help you manage eczema on pages, and Lorna Bowes gives the secrets of making money while you sleep.
