    A Layered Framework for Biological Aesthetics: A Narrative Review of Regenerative Medicine in Cosmetic Science

    September 2026 in “ Cureus ”
    Mohamed Ismail, Scott M Martin
    Studysummary In this narrative review, the authors discuss regenerative substances like platelet-rich fibrin and mesenchymal stem cells in biological aesthetics, noting that while these methods show promise for regeneration, their safety, effectiveness, and durability remain uncertain due to limited and heterogeneous evidence.
