The Rise of Regenerative Medicine: Radiesse, Rich PL + Evangeline PRF
The field of aesthetic medicine has seen incredible advancements over the past few decades. From Botox, which temporarily paralyzes muscles to smooth out wrinkles, to dermal fillers that add volume by retaining water — the quest for rejuvenated skin has driven innovation. Now, we are witnessing the rise of a new era with regenerative medicine. This approach aims not just to fill or paralyze tissues but to revitalize the skin naturally through the body's healing processes. Leading this revolution are treatments like Radiesse, Rich PL, and Evangeline PRF, each offering unique benefits for restoring the skin.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse works because of its main ingredient, Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which are also found in human bones. Unlike regular fillers like hyaluronic acid (HA) that add volume by retaining water, Radiesse helps your body produce more collagen naturally. This results in lasting improvements in skin texture and elasticity.
“It's been 19 days and I feel like a new person. I just got 1 syringe of Radiesse and immediately I wanted to cry. It looked amazing -- not huge, not plastic -- it just took (IMO) years off and fixed that gravity/sag that made me so self-concious when I'd catch myself at the wrong angles.”

Composition: Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres.
Uses: Immediate volumizing effect, stimulates collagen production via a non-inflammatory response.
Common Areas: Cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, hands.
Duration: Results last 12-18 months.
What is Rich PL?
Rich PL, developed by Promo Italia, is another injectable with regenerative properties. It combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Rich PL improves skin quality, reduces wrinkles, and enhances overall appearance.
Composition: Hyaluronic Acid and Polylactic Acid.
Uses: Stimulates cell reproduction, activating skin fibroblasts and giving a strong immediate volumizing effect.
Common Areas: Face, neck, and décolletage.
Duration: Results can last up to 1 year, with multiple sessions needed.
What is Evangeline PRF?
Evangeline PRF, like regular Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, is rich in growth factors that enable the body to regenerate and heal itself. However, it takes PRP therapy to the next level. During the centrifuge process of the client’s blood, PRF is processed at a significantly lower speed than PRP. This slower processing yields a higher concentration of healing components compared to PRP. PRF contains approximately 10x times the platelet concentration that is found within the body, whereas PRP contains 2-5 times.
Composition: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), derived from the patient’s blood.
Uses: Promotes natural healing and collagen production, improves skin texture and tone.
Common Areas: Under-eye area, cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline.
Duration: Results last up to 1 year, with multiple sessions needed.
Mechanism of Action
Radiesse: Calcium hydroxylapatite particles stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Rich PL: Activates skin fibroblasts to stimulate cell reproduction.
Evangeline PRF: Uses the body’s platelets to boost collagen and healing.
Continual Results
Radiesse, Rich PL, and Evangeline PRF all provide immediate volumizing effects, along with gradual improvement in skin texture and volume over several weeks. Optimal results are typically achieved with multiple treatments.
Procedure & Recovery
Radiesse, Rich PL, and Evangeline PRF all offer quick procedures with minimal downtime, with potential for some swelling and bruising
Why Choose Regenerative Treatments?
Regenerative treatments like Radiesse, Rich PL, and Evangeline PRF offer several benefits over traditional cosmetic procedures:
Natural Results: By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, these treatments provide results that look and feel natural.
Long-Lasting Effects: The collagen and elastin produced as a result of these treatments continue to improve the skin’s appearance long after the initial procedure.
Minimal Downtime: Quick procedures with minimal recovery time make these treatments ideal for those with busy lifestyles.
Versatility: These treatments can address a wide range of concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to volume loss and skin texture issues.
An Exciting Future for Anti-Aging Medicine
So what’s next for anti-aging medicine? In a pioneering study, researchers from Harvard Medical School, University of Maine, and MIT have introduced a chemical method for reversing cellular aging*. The findings could transform treatments for age-related diseases, enhance regenerative medicine, and potentially lead to whole-body rejuvenation.
“Until recently, the best we could do was slow aging. New discoveries suggest we can now reverse it,” said David A. Sinclair, Ph.D., Professor at Harvard Medical School.
The Harvard team envisions a future where age-related diseases are treated effectively, injuries heal faster, and whole-body rejuvenation is possible. “This discovery could reverse aging with a single pill, improving eyesight and treating numerous age-related diseases,” Sinclair added.
The possibilities in anti-aging medicine are more exciting than ever, bringing us closer to achieving not just great skin but a longer and healthier life.
