Fine lines, sagging, and tired-looking skin can make you feel less like yourself, especially when you still feel energetic and young on the inside. If you are looking for options that do more than simply “cover up” signs of aging, regenerative treatments are designed to support your skin from within, not just on the surface.
At Dr. Addison Aesthetics in Cary, NC, regenerative care is woven into many of the advanced services offered by Dr. Addison Zhang, an experienced internist who understands both aesthetic goals and overall health. Treatments such as Thermage FLX skin tightening, Ultherapy®Prime with skin lifting, Sylfirm X RF Microneedling, PDO Thread Lift, Sculptra, Radiesse, and tailored skin booster treatments all work with your own tissue to improve texture, firmness, and radiance over time.
What Is Regenerative Therapy?
In medicine, regenerative care focuses on helping the body repair, restore, and strengthen its own tissues. Rather than relying only on surgical lifting or temporary surface changes, these approaches support deeper structures like collagen, elastin, and connective tissue. In other specialties, you may hear about stem cell therapy or platelet-based treatments designed to rebuild and maintain healthier tissue.
Across healthcare, techniques such as tissue healing therapy, regenerative therapy for joint pain, and regenerative therapy for degenerative diseases are being explored to help people stay active and comfortable for longer. In aesthetics, this same philosophy is applied to your skin, with a focus on smoothing, tightening, and refreshing while still keeping your features natural and expressive.
How Regenerative Therapy Supports Skin Health
When it comes to your face and neck, aging is not caused by just one thing. Sun exposure, collagen loss, slowing cell turnover, changes in bone structure, and lifestyle all play a part. The goal of regenerative therapy for skin rejuvenation is to encourage your skin to function more like it did when you were younger, so improvements feel gradual and authentic rather than overly “done.”
At Dr. Addison Aesthetics, many treatments are chosen because they trigger the skin to rebuild itself over time. Energy-based devices such as Thermage FLX and Ultherapy®Prime use focused radiofrequency and ultrasound to gently heat deeper layers of tissue, which stimulates new collagen and tightens laxity. Sylfirm X RF Microneedling pairs microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve scars, texture, and crepey skin. PDO Thread Lifts support sagging areas mechanically at first, then encourage collagen formation around each thread as they dissolve.
Biostimulatory injectables like Sculptra and Radiesse provide another regenerative option. Instead of acting as simple fillers, they encourage your body to produce more of its own collagen, gradually improving volume, support, and smoothness for months after treatment. Skin booster treatments can then refine tone and hydration at the surface, helping your results look even more luminous.
Skin-Focused Regenerative Treatments At Dr. Addison Aesthetics
Because everyone ages differently, Dr. Addison Aesthetics often recommends a personalized combination of treatments rather than a single solution. A plan might include:
- Thermage FLX to tighten and contour the lower face or jawline
- Ultherapy®Prime to gently lift the brow or firm the neck
- Sylfirm X RF Microneedling to soften fine lines and improve texture
- PDO Thread Lift to support areas like the cheeks or jowls that have started to descend
In many cases, Sculptra or Radiesse are added to restore youthful structure from within, while skin booster treatments fine-tune tone, glow, and hydration. This layered strategy gives your skin more tools to repair itself, instead of depending on one quick fix that fades without deeper support.
Regenerative Care, Confidence, And Wellness
Although the focus at Dr. Addison Aesthetics is cosmetic, the benefits often extend beyond the mirror. When your skin feels stronger, smoother, and better supported, everyday life can feel more comfortable and confident. Makeup tends to apply more evenly, skin is less prone to looking dull or tired, and you may feel more at ease in social or professional settings.
Regenerative treatments also align naturally with anti-aging regenerative medicine, which emphasizes prevention and long-term maintenance rather than waiting until problems become severe. This matches the clinic’s philosophy of “aging youthfully,” where maintaining skin health over time reduces the need for aggressive corrective procedures later on.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Regenerative Therapy?
You may be a good fit for regenerative-focused treatment if you:
- Notice laxity along the jawline, cheeks, or neck
- See fine lines, etched wrinkles, or uneven texture that do not respond to skincare alone
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking changes instead of a sudden, dramatic shift
- Want to support your skin’s health while still looking like yourself
Because Dr. Addison is an internist as well as an aesthetic provider, your overall health, medical history, and lifestyle are factored into any treatment plan. This helps ensure that your skin strategy supports your broader wellness rather than working against it.
What To Expect When You Visit Dr. Addison Aesthetics
Your experience typically begins with a detailed consultation, including a conversation about your concerns, photos to study your facial balance, and a discussion of which combination of regenerative treatments fits your needs, schedule, and comfort level.
Treatment itself varies. Energy-based services like Thermage FLX, Ultherapy®Prime, and Sylfirm X RF Microneedling are usually performed in a dedicated treatment room, often with topical numbing to keep you comfortable. PDO Thread Lifts, Sculptra, Radiesse, and skin booster treatments are administered with careful attention to facial anatomy and symmetry. Most patients can return to daily activities quickly, although some redness, swelling, or tenderness is normal for a short period.
Results tend to build over weeks to months as new collagen forms and tissues remodel. Follow-up visits may be recommended to monitor your progress and decide when touch-ups or maintenance sessions would be most helpful.
