Modern aesthetic medicine is shifting its focus from wrinkle correction and volume restoration to improving skin quality and tissue function, aligning with the Longevity concept. Dr. Irena Krupnik, an aesthetic medicine doctor practicing in Israel within the Longevity framework, emphasizes that this approach aims to maintain health, activity, quality of life, and natural appearance for as long as possible, rather than simply reversing aging. This translates to a long-term strategy over one-off procedures.
One key area within this trend is autologous regeneration, which utilizes the patient's own biological material, such as blood plasma rich in platelets and growth factors, to stimulate tissue repair. Prominent methods include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). These techniques leverage the body's natural regenerative processes, which involve cells, signaling molecules, and the extracellular matrix, including collagen and elastin, to maintain skin structure and elasticity. As people age, these processes naturally decline, leading to thinner, less elastic skin and more noticeable wrinkles.
PRP involves concentrating platelets in plasma, while PRF creates a fibrin matrix that gradually releases growth factors. Both methods use the patient's own blood but differ in preparation and release mechanisms, with the choice depending on the specific clinical need. Dr. Krupnik stresses that successful treatment begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's skin condition and concerns, as well as a review of any medical factors that might affect safety or outcomes, such as blood clotting disorders or medications.
Dr. Krupnik, who has extensive experience in aesthetic medicine in Israel and trained in Paris, views Longevity as a holistic strategy for managing age-related changes. She is also the founder and lead instructor of an aesthetic medicine academy that has trained over 3,000 doctors. She offers personalized consultations, providing long-term correction plans, with the first consultation being free. Her practice is located in Holon.
