Regenerative Treatments with Dr. Zeinab Hedayat
Autologous and biocompatible approaches that support the body's own regenerative processes — gradual support, not a dramatic or instant change.
Specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
Overview
What Are Regenerative Treatments?
Regenerative treatments describe a category of approaches — such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) — that use autologous (your own) or biocompatible materials to support the body's own tissue-repair and regenerative processes, rather than introducing volume or reshaping features. PRP / Vampire Lifting is the primary regenerative option currently offered.
Regenerative treatments are one of several Skin & Regeneration options offered — learn more about PRP / Vampire Lifting.
Suitability
Who It May Be Suitable For
Regenerative treatments may be considered by patients who prefer an autologous, biologically guided approach to skin support, or who are considering regenerative options as part of a broader skin quality or scar refinement plan. Individual suitability, including relevant medical history, is always assessed during consultation with Dr. Hedayat.
- Patients seeking an autologous, biologically guided approach
- Patients supporting a broader skin quality or scar refinement plan
- Patients interested in gradual, regenerative-style improvement rather than immediate volume change
- Patients whose suitability is confirmed through consultation

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a regenerative treatment?
Currently, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is the primary regenerative option offered. It uses a concentrated preparation from your own blood rather than an external or synthetic material.
Is this the same as a dermal filler?
No. Regenerative treatments work by supporting the body's own repair processes rather than adding volume, unlike a classic dermal filler.
How does this relate to Skin Quality or Scar Refinement?
Regenerative treatments are sometimes used as one component of a broader skin quality or scar refinement plan. Whether this applies to you is discussed individually during consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
A course of multiple sessions is often recommended. This is planned individually and outcomes vary.
When will I see results?
Changes tend to develop gradually over several weeks. Timing and results vary between individuals and are not guaranteed.
How do I know if this is right for me?
Candidacy depends on your goals, skin condition, and medical history, all reviewed during an individual consultation with Dr. Hedayat.
Considering Regenerative Treatments?
Every treatment begins with an individual consultation to assess suitability and discuss realistic expectations.
