Send us Fan MailRegenerative medicine is one of the most used phrases in aesthetics right now, but the meaning often gets lost somewhere between marketing, social media and genuine clinical science. We sit down with Dr Philippe Hamida-Pisal, Medical Director at PHP Health First and PHP Aesthetic in London, to separate what’s real from what’s wishful thinking and to talk about how longevity medicine is reshaping the day-to-day decisions inside a modern clinic. We start with the fundamentals of a holistic, 360 degree approach to ageing: why “looking younger” is rarely just about wrinkles, and why inflammation, stress, nutrition, sleep and exercise show up in the treatment room even when a patient books something simple like Botox or fillers. Philippe explains why the first consultation matters so much, how patient trust is built, and why results often improve when patients understand the cause of their condition rather than chasing quick fixes. From there we get specific about regenerative aesthetics, including exosomes, polynucleotides and stem cell related concepts, plus the uncomfortable truth that the evidence base and standardisation are still catching up with demand. We also dig into the practical ethics of injectables in the UK: sourcing, traceability, cold chain, legality, and why transparency protects both patients and practitioners. Along the way we discuss “healthy ageing” versus “anti-ageing”, biological versus chronological age, and where the next five to ten years of aesthetic medicine is heading as the trend shifts back towards natural results and skin quality.
