RESVERATROL: THE ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTI-AGING MOLECULE

Nature offers many precious substances useful for the organic well-being and anti-aging. Resveratrol, for example, is a polyphenolic compound that can be found in many plants and that carries important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Because of this, it’s frequently used by anti-aging medicine to slow down the manifestations of aging.

The functions of resveratrol

Many studies have recently underlined the importance of resveratrol as an anti-aging component, thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-diabetic, cardio and neuroprotective properties. Resveratrol has shown high effectiveness in the prevention of age-related pathologies as it works in opposition to oxidative stress, calming inflammation caused by the activity of free radicals. Furthermore, resveratrol improves the activity of mitochondria - fundamental for the energetic metabolism -, is related to the regulation of cell turnover and has demonstrated anti adipogenic effects: all fundamental functions in a healthy aging perspective.

Resveratrol against skin aging

In addition to the properties shown against cellular aging, resveratrol has the ability to combat free radicals with positive repercussions on skin well-being because it protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals, UV rays and pollutants. In order for polyphenol to contribute to skin health, it’s recommended to use resveratrol topically rather than systemically, with serums or creams enriched with this nutrient.

How to supplement resveratrol

Resveratrol is a natural element present in many plant-based foods which, therefore, can be integrated primarily through a specific diet rich in grapes, peanuts, blueberries, tomatoes, spinach, purple cabbage and cocoa. A balanced diet is the first step for a healthy aging as it guarantees a complete supply of the main antioxidant agents and the most important nutrients. Anyway, alongside a good diet, anti-aging medicine uses nutraceuticals to knowingly integrate fundamental substances, so resveratrol can also be taken as an oral supplement to guarantee its correct daily intake. Upon medical advice, it’s possible to identify a nutritional and nutraceutical plan to suit every individual's needs.

PRP and exosomes: the innovation in skin regeneration

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a blood component already known for its ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and improve skin quality naturally. Recently, it has been discovered that exosomes, used in combination with PRP, enhance its power. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles, are in fact able to accelerate tissue regeneration and, consequently, improve the aesthetic outcome of the treatment.

PRP and skin rejuvenation: the secret to fresh and glowing skin

Skin rejuvenation is one of the most pressing goals of aesthetic medicine. As we age, the skin tends to lose elasticity, brightness and firmness due to the physiological decline in collagen and elastin production. From this perspective, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary, safe and natural treatment to improve skin quality and reduce the signs of aging.

PRP AS A TOOL OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE: A COMPLETE INSIGHT

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is one of the most innovative and versatile therapies used in regenerative medicine because, using growth factors naturally present in our blood, can accelerate the recovery and regeneration of tissues. Thanks to its effectiveness, this therapy is widely used, for example, in dermatology, orthopedics, neurology, gynecology and dentistry.
