Imaging-Guided Regenerative Aesthetics: A Review of PRP, Stem-Cell, and Fat-Derived Therapies in Interventional Radiology

The review discusses the use of imaging-guided techniques in regenerative aesthetics, focusing on therapies like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem-cell-derived products, and fat-derived grafts. These therapies are used for facial rejuvenation, scar treatment, and hair restoration. The use of real-time imaging, such as ultrasound, in interventional radiology enhances the precision of these procedures, improving safety and patient outcomes compared to traditional methods. However, the review highlights a lack of high-quality randomized trials and standardized protocols, which limits the development of evidence-based treatment guidelines. The authors call for more multidisciplinary studies to establish scientifically valid guidelines for incorporating imaging guidance in regenerative aesthetic practices.
