What is Rejuvenation?
Rejuvenation is a broad term for approaches that aim to restore function or appearance affected by aging. It ranges from cosmetic procedures to laboratory research on cells and tissues. No medication is FDA-approved to reverse aging, and most rejuvenation research is still at the laboratory or animal stage.
In aesthetics, rejuvenation usually refers to procedures such as lasers or injectables that change how skin looks. In aging research, the term describes efforts to repair cellular damage linked to aging, such as work on stem cells, senescent cells and cellular energy. These research areas are early, and results in animals or cells do not establish benefits in people.
If you are considering any treatment marketed for rejuvenation, ask about its FDA status, the evidence in humans and its risks. A licensed provider can explain which options are FDA-approved for a specific use and which are off-label or experimental.
