In its first applications, we observed fascinating changes, such as the improvement in the texture of the tissues, skin coloration and vascularization – changes that went beyond the simple increase in vol- ume. Later, we would know that this is due to the regenerative properties that our own tissues can have and, properly done, can be expressed where they are applied in the pursuit of the best natural aesthetic improvement. In this book, we wanted to integrate in a single work the current knowl- edge on the biological bases of the different treatments with regenerative effects, the technical foundations and the perspective of the results that can be obtained (and those that can’t). And our will has been that it had the features we expect for a book for our own consultation: concise, clear and practical. In this way, we want it to be a handbook of consultation for all those pro- fessionals interested in the fascinating world of regenerative medicine, which will surely bring many new indications as we know better their potential. Barcelona, Spain Joan Fontdevila v Preface Regenerative procedures are one the most appealing and high-potential ways of treating our patients in modern medicine. The fact of being able to regener- ate up to some extent a damaged structure enhances the possibilities of the physiological healing process way beyond its original duty. Any regenerating strategy implies full functional and structural restoration which is something non-acquirable by reparation. This book presents the state of the art in regenerative procedures currently applied by aesthetic physicians, plastic surgeons and dermatologists. It is divided into two parts, the first of which provides a detailed introduction to aesthetic medicine and the aging process. The second part, in turn, addresses the current status of techniques and technologies with regard to autologous grafts, covering fat transfer, blood grafts, skin grafts and stem cells. The book examines the surgical applications of these grafts, as well as potential side effects and limitations. With this text, we want to promote and support an evidence-based behav- iour, provide the state of the art of the regenerative procedures already applied by aesthetic physicians and set the basis of a “regenerative approach” to beauty, tissue damage, cell restoration and aging.
