Inside an AIRMESS Masterclass: Notes from the Operating Room
There is a particular energy in a live surgical masterclass that no recording captures. Over two days, faculty and participants shared not only technique but the small decisions — the ones rarely written down — that separate a good result from a great one. Three themes kept returning: patient selection is most of the outcome; […]
Five Advances in Fat Grafting Worth Watching in 2026
Autologous fat grafting has quietly become one of the most versatile tools in regenerative and aesthetic surgery. Five developments stand out this year. 1. Standardised nanofat protocols. Emulsification and filtration steps are converging toward reproducible, publishable parameters — a prerequisite for real comparative data. 2. SVF characterisation. Better flow-cytometry panels are helping teams understand what […]
Welcome to the AIRMESS Blog: Where Science Meets Community
Regenerative medicine is moving fast — and the conversation around it deserves a home. The AIRMESS Blog is that home: a place for perspectives, field notes and honest discussion from the surgeons, researchers and clinicians who make up our community. Here you will find shorter, more personal reads than our peer-reviewed Publications section. Think masterclass […]
Microfat and Nanofat Grafting in Genital Rejuvenation
Background: Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a major problem in many post- or perimenopausal women. Lipofilling has long been considered to be an effective technique for restoring volume, but the discovery of its trophic proprieties has made it the most widely utilized method in regenerative medicine. Objectives: The authors aimed to assess the safety […]
Platelet-Rich Plasma and its Use for Cicatricial and Non-Cicatricial Alopecias: A Narrative Review
Abstract The concept and description of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) started in the field of hematology and is being extensively used in other fields of medicine. Interest in the application of PRP has been increasing in dermatology, such as in tissue regeneration, wound healing, scar revision, skin-rejuvenating effects, and alopecia. PRP is an autologous blood product […]
Subcutaneous Injections of Nanofat Adipose-derived AQ1 Stem Cell Grafting in Facial Rejuvenation
The demand for nonsurgical facial restoration has been constantly increasing in the past few decades. The Nanofat grafting procedure is a promising technique that could meet this demand and yields a marked improvement in skin quality. In 2013, Tonnard et al introduced a Nanofat grafting technique, wherein mechanical emulsification was used to mechanically dissociate adipose […]
EMC – Médecine régénérative et chirurgie plastique
Résumé : La médecine régénérative est la discipline qui consiste à réparer une lésion ou un organe malade en remplac¸ant les parties endommagées par un nouveau tissu cellulaire. Les chirurgiens plasticiens, à travers la manipulation et la greffe de tissu adipeux depuis plus d’un siècle, ont été pionniers dans ce domaine. Le tissu adipeux est […]
Recommendations in the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), autologous stem cell-based therapy (ASC-BT) in androgenetic alopecia and wound healing
Pietro Gentile, Rubina Alvesc John P. Colee, Katarina Andjelkov, Thierry Van Helmelryck, Jonathan Fernandez, Angelo Trivisonno, Lemierre Guillaume, Alexis Verpaele, Patrick Tonnard, Jeremy Magalon, Guy Magalon, and Sophie Menkes ABSTRACT Introduction: Many investigations showed that platelet-rich plasma (PRP), human follicle stem cells (HFSCs), and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), considered autologous stem cell-based therapy (ASCBT), are […]
