For a long time, aesthetic treatments were focused on correction. Patients would come in once lines had settled, volume had reduced or skin quality had noticeably declined. Treatment was then focused on correcting these issues.

Patients are now looking to get ahead of the curve by investing in preventative treatments for their skin as well as undetectable injectable treatments. They are looking for their skin to radiate health and wellness and age positively over time by tackling all signs of collagen loss such as pigmention, dullness, redness and enlarged pores rather than simply tackling lines and wrinkles. 

This is where regenerative aesthetics has become far more relevant. 

Rather than focusing purely on correction, regenerative treatments support the underlying biology of the skin. Collagen production, cellular repair, hydration and tissue strength all become part of the treatment plan.

At Takroni Clinic in London, this approach shapes how we build treatment plans from the outset. It is about choosing the right treatments, at the right time, based on how the skin is behaving.

What is regenerative aesthetics and how is it different from traditional treatments?

Regenerative aesthetics focuses on improving how the skin functions, not just how it looks.

As skin ages, a few consistent changes take place:

• Collagen production slows down
• Skin becomes thinner and less elastic
• Hydration drops
• Healing becomes less efficient

Traditional treatments often address the visible outcome of this. Regenerative treatments work further upstream.

In practice, this means:

• Stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen
• Supporting tissue repair at a cellular level
• Improving skin quality rather than adding volume
• Encouraging gradual, natural-looking change

Each treatment works slightly differently, and choosing between them depends heavily on the condition of the skin.

How do laser treatments support regenerative aesthetics?

Laser treatments are a key part of regenerative aesthetics, particularly when skin shows visible sun damage, pigmentation or uneven tone.

In clinic, we use devices like BBL, MOXI Tribrid and HALO Tribrid to improve the overall environment of the skin. While injectables support repair from within, lasers help correct the external signs of collagen loss.

What is the difference between BBL, MOXI and HALO?

Each laser serves a slightly different purpose:

• BBL (BroadBand Light) targets pigmentation and redness, helping to even out skin tone
• MOXI Tribrid is a gentler option, often used for early ageing, maintenance and skin refresh
• HALO Tribrid works at deeper levels, making it more suitable for advanced ageing, scarring or more stubborn pigmentation

For milder cases, we would usually start with BBL and MOXI. If there are signs of advanced damage, we would normally progress to HALO-based treatments.

Can these treatments be used beyond the face?

Absolutely. One of the most noticeable signs of ageing is uneven skin quality between the face and body. We often treat areas such as the neck, chest and hands to create a more consistent, natural result, particularly in patients with significant sun exposure.

When would you choose Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are a commonly used regenerative treatment for when skin quality is compromised.

In clinic, we often see this in:

• Thin or crepey under-eye skin
• Early laxity around the neck
• Skin that feels fragile or slow to recover

Polynucleotides support tissue repair and improve fibroblast activity. Over time, this leads to better collagen production and improved hydration.

For milder cases, we would usually start with a course of Polynucleotides alone. The improvement is gradual, but the quality of the skin becomes noticeably stronger and more resilient.

If that is not settling, or if the skin is more compromised, we would normally look at combining Polynucleotides with microneedling or lasers and layering them alongside other regenerative treatments.

Using exosomes to maximise results 

Exosomes are signalling molecules that help cells communicate more effectively. When applied to the skin, they enhance repair, reduce inflammation and support collagen production.

In clinic, we tend to use Exosomes:

• When faster recovery is needed
• After microneedling or lasers to enhance results
• In patients with more advanced skin ageing
• When inflammation is a contributing factor

Exosomes work particularly well when combined with microneedling. The microchannels created allow for deeper absorption, which tends to improve outcomes significantly.

Rather than replacing other treatments, Exosomes often sit alongside them as part of a layered approach.

What do Skin Boosters do compared to fillers?

Skin boosters are frequently misunderstood. They are not designed to add volume or change facial structure. Instead, they improve hydration within the skin and support collagen production over time.

In clinic, we often recommend skin boosters for:

• Dehydrated or dull skin
• Early fine lines
• Patients who want subtle improvement without looking “treated”

Skin boosters work gradually. The skin becomes smoother, more hydrated and more reflective over time.

They are often used as a foundation treatment, particularly before layering more advanced regenerative options.

Is Microneedling still effective compared to newer treatments?

Microneedling remains a budget friendly and reliable regenerative treatment.

By creating controlled micro-injuries, it stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This leads to collagen production and improved skin texture.

For milder cases, microneedling alone can be enough. For more complex skin concerns, we may recommend more comprehensive treatments such as a combination or laser treatments. Where it becomes particularly effective is in combination:

• Microneedling with Exosomes for deeper regeneration
• Microneedling alongside Polynucleotides to improve skin quality
• Microneedling as part of a combination plan with lasers

Which combination of treatments works best for skin rejuvenation?

This is where regenerative aesthetics becomes more nuanced. There is no single “best” treatment. Results depend on how treatments are combined.

In practice, some of the most effective combinations we use include:

• BBL Heroic and moxi tribrid – to tackle pigmentation, redness and overall skin texture
• BBL Heroic and Halo Tribrid – targets pigmentation, redness and more advanced signs of skin ageing or scarring as it combines 3 laser wavelengths in one halo tribrid session to address all layers of the skin
• Exosomes + Microneedling – for more advanced ageing, acne scarring or when faster recovery is needed
• Skin Boosters + lasers or microneedling – supports both hydration and tissue repair

Who is suitable for regenerative aesthetics treatments?

Most patients are suitable, but the approach varies.

In clinic, we usually adjust treatment plans based on:

• Skin thickness and sensitivity
• Degree of ageing or damage
• Lifestyle factors
• Healing capacity

For younger patients, treatment is often preventative. For more mature skin, the focus shifts towards repair and strengthening.

The key is not to over-treat. Regenerative aesthetics works best when the skin is given time to respond between treatments. As much as we love treatment stacking this needs to be done mindfully.

Why patients are choosing regenerative aesthetics in London

There is a clear shift in patient preference.

Patients are moving away from treatments that dramatically alter appearance. Instead, they are looking for:

• Subtle, natural-looking improvement
• Undetectable injectables
• Better skin quality
• Long-term results rather than quick fixes

At Takroni Clinic in London, this aligns closely with how we approach treatment planning. It is less about isolated procedures and more about building a strategy that supports the skin and face over time.
