Ep 365 'Regenerative Aesthetics is bullshit' | Dr Steven Harris

**Episode 365 hosts Dr Steven Harris (Cosmetic Physician from London, UK)** In this episode, we discuss the growing use of the term "regenerative aesthetics" and what regeneration actually means from a scientific perspective. Steven challenges the terms "collagen stimulation", "biostimulation" and the claims made about common treatments including polynucleotides and exosomes.  We also discuss industry hype, conference sponsorship, his concept of "collective drift", the importance of independent research, accurate before-and-after photography and what better research should look like. 00:00 Introduction 01:17 Meet Our Special Guest: Dr Steven Harris 04:56 Conference Sponsorship Debate 08:59 Defining Regenerative Medicine 11:03 App Plug And Live Chat 12:04 Collagen Vs Regeneration 16:06 Who Fuels The Hype? 18:59 Hierarchy Of Hype Breakdown 21:43 Evidence Quality And Clinic Choices 24:34 Hyalase Analogy And Evidence Bar 29:20 Collective Drift And Anecdotes 30:42 Rejuran Evidence Problems 31:28 Commerce Vs Science 33:31 Exosomes And PN Risks 35:20 Consent And Placebo 37:45 Bad Before And After Photos 41:01 What Studies Are Needed 45:33 Brand Loyalty And Discounts 50:08 Patients Requesting Brands 55:30 Rethinking Regenerative Aesthetics 56:33 Ultrasound Filler Research 58:33 Wrap Up And Call To Action 59:40 Community App Outro RSVP for our 2nd Unfiltered LIVE with Dr Lonny Green **DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY TO JOIN OUR NEW IA PODCAST CHAT :** - DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES - DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES **ACTIVATE YOUR FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and created a profile):** - FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS - FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS
