Say hello to the stem cells, exosomes, and growth factors that breathe new life into your skin
Words by KELLY ATTERTON
In the ever-evolving world of beauty, regenerative skin care is a game changer. This fusion of cutting-edge science and innovation is poised to take center stage this year. Regenerative skin care aims to counter the effects of aging and environmental stressors by harnessing the power of stem cells, exosomes, and growth factors, which are blended into formulas or injected in a medical environment. These ingredients, sourced from human or synthetic/plant origins, breathe new life into your skin.
Dr. Nathan Newman — a Beverly Hills–based dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon, and the creator of multiple science-backed brands including STEM, Luminesce, and Exo|E — plays a pivotal role in this beauty revolution as the co-founder of Rinati Labs, a hub of stem cell research and development. “Abrasive and irritating chemical acids and devices are being replaced by biotechnological signals that restore balance, provide raw materials, and regenerate desired changes in the skin.” Dr. Newman stresses that regenerative skincare isn’t merely postponing aging; it’s also revitalizing and reinvigorating the skin’s fundamental components through bioactive signals. His concept, Consortia Factors, is a combination of bioactive signals, peptides, and growth factors working in synergy to restore the skin’s balance and vitality.

A-list plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond, also based in L.A., anticipates substantial growth in regenerative skincare product options and awareness. Recently he debuted Dr. Diamond’s Metacine. “The power molecules in my products mimic the effects of my InstaFacial® procedure and signal skin to increase the growth of new youthful cells while eliminating aged ones,” he says. “Youthful skin has an abundance of healthy collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, and my Plasma + Emulsion support the production of these, giving the skin the youthful, radiant appearance we all want.”
