Regenerative Medicine Treatments Available: A Complete Overview

Ten years ago, regenerative medicine was largely confined to academic research, experimental trials, and the kind of Swiss clinics that cost more than a small car. Today, several of its most promising treatments have moved into mainstream clinical practice — available at JCI-accredited facilities in Delhi, administered by internationally trained physicians, at costs that make them accessible to a far wider group of patients than ever before.

Regenerative medicine, in the aesthetic and longevity context, is the application of biological materials and cellular signals to restore, repair, and rejuvenate tissue at a fundamental level. It is not science fiction. It is not alternative medicine. It is a rapidly evolving clinical field with an expanding evidence base — and Delhi has quietly become one of the better destinations in the world to access it.

This guide covers the four main categories of regenerative medicine available through Incostra partner clinics, what the current evidence says, who these treatments are suited to, and what realistic expectations look like.

1. Exosome Therapy: The Frontier of Cellular Communication

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles — essentially biological packages — released by cells to communicate with other cells. They carry proteins, RNA, and growth factors that instruct recipient cells on how to behave. In the context of regenerative medicine, laboratory-derived exosomes (typically from mesenchymal stem cells) are used to deliver a concentrated signal of regenerative instruction to aged or damaged tissue.

What does exosome therapy treat?

In the aesthetic and longevity context, exosomes are used for:

• Facial skin rejuvenation — improving texture, elasticity, and radiance
• Scalp and hair restoration — stimulating dormant follicles and slowing hair loss
• Accelerated healing after other aesthetic procedures
• General cellular rejuvenation as part of a longevity protocol
• Persistent fatigue that does not resolve with rest
• Cognitive fog — difficulty concentrating, memory lapses
• Loss of libido and sexual function
• Weight redistribution (particularly abdominal), despite unchanged diet and exercise
• Skin thinning, hair loss, and accelerated visible ageing
• Mood changes, anxiety, or loss of motivation
• Mental clarity and cognitive sharpness
• Physical energy and exercise recovery
• Sleep quality
• General sense of vitality and wellbeing
• High-dose Vitamin C — antioxidant support, immune function, collagen synthesis
• Glutathione — the body's primary antioxidant; supports liver detoxification and skin brightening
• Myers Cocktail — B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and Vitamin C for general wellness
• Phosphatidylcholine — membrane repair and liver function support

What does the evidence say?

Exosome therapy is genuinely promising, particularly for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration — two areas where multiple peer-reviewed studies show meaningful results. However, it is important to be honest: exosome therapy is not yet as established as Botox or dermal fillers. The field is moving fast, but it is still in an early clinical phase. Practitioners should present it as an advanced, evidence-supported option rather than a proven standard of care.

Incostra only refers patients to clinics and practitioners who are honest about where the evidence is strong and where it remains emerging. We do not oversell.

2. PRP and Growth Factor Treatments

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) sits at the intersection of regenerative medicine and aesthetic treatment. We cover PRP in detail in a dedicated guide (see our PRP skin rejuvenation article), but in the regenerative medicine context it deserves mention as the most established, most evidence-backed treatment in this category.

PRP concentrates the natural growth factors from your own blood and delivers them to target tissue — stimulating collagen production, improving vascularisation, and accelerating cellular repair. It is used for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and joint/tendon repair. The evidence base is substantial, the mechanism is well understood, and the safety profile is excellent since it uses the patient's own biological material.

For patients new to regenerative medicine, PRP is often the most appropriate starting point — both because of its established evidence and its low risk.

3. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

What is BHRT?

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones chemically identical to those produced by the human body — oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA — to address the hormonal decline that accelerates from the mid-40s onwards. Unlike synthetic HRT, BHRT molecules are structurally identical to endogenous hormones, which in theory (and in emerging clinical evidence) means a more physiological response.

What does BHRT address?

Patients seeking BHRT through our Delhi partner programmes typically report concerns including:

The assessment and monitoring process

At our Delhi partner clinics, BHRT begins with a comprehensive hormonal assessment — a detailed blood panel covering not just oestrogen and testosterone but cortisol, thyroid function, DHEA-S, IGF-1, and metabolic markers. The initial consultation takes 60–90 minutes and includes a thorough review of symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors.

Hormone therapy is not prescribed without this full assessment. Treatment is then tailored individually — delivery method (pellets, transdermal cream, injection), dosing, and monitoring schedule are all personalised. Follow-up blood work is performed at three and six months to adjust the programme.

BHRT and the European context

European patients often come to us having found NHS hormone services focused on symptom management rather than optimisation, with long waiting times and a limited menu of formulations. In Delhi, the assessment process is more comprehensive, the available formulations broader, and the practitioner time dedicated to each patient significantly greater. The cost is also substantially lower — a comprehensive BHRT programme assessment in Delhi typically costs 65–75% less than equivalent services at a UK private hormone clinic.

4. NAD+ and IV Infusion Therapies

What is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in the body. It plays a central role in energy metabolism and is a critical molecule in DNA repair and cellular longevity. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age — a decline associated with reduced cellular energy, impaired repair mechanisms, and accelerated ageing. IV NAD+ therapy delivers this coenzyme directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the poor oral bioavailability of NAD+ precursors.

What does NAD+ therapy offer?

Patients who undergo NAD+ infusion programmes report improvements in:

Other IV therapies available

Beyond NAD+, our Delhi partner clinics offer a range of evidence-supported IV infusion protocols:

What the evidence says

IV therapy is an area of genuine clinical interest with a growing body of research. NAD+ therapy has the most promising data, particularly in the context of neurological function and cellular energy. However, patients should be aware that this is not yet standard-of-care medicine — it is precision wellness at the frontier of clinical practice. The practitioners at our partner clinics are honest about this distinction.

Who Are These Treatments For?

Regenerative medicine treatments are best suited to patients who are proactive about their health and ageing — people who are broadly healthy but experiencing the gradual changes of midlife: declining energy, changing skin quality, hormonal shifts, and a general sense that their body is not quite operating at the level it used to. They are typically in their 40s to early 60s.

These treatments are not emergency interventions. They are investments in biological maintenance — the medical equivalent of servicing a high-performance engine before problems develop rather than after. For our core demographic of successful European professionals who apply rigorous thinking to every other aspect of their lives, that framing resonates.

How Incostra Coordinates Regenerative Medicine Programmes

Regenerative medicine involves more complexity than a single aesthetic procedure. It often requires pre-travel blood work (which we can arrange through partner labs in your home country), a more extended clinical assessment on arrival, and a structured follow-up programme after you return home.

Incostra's regenerative medicine coordinator works with each patient to build a personalised programme: selecting the right combination of treatments, scheduling the assessment and treatment days across your stay, coordinating with your Delhi practitioner, and arranging follow-up blood work and virtual review consultations for after you return to Europe.

We also ensure transparency on cost from the outset. There are no hidden fees, no add-ons pushed on arrival. You will receive a written programme outline and cost breakdown before you book any travel.
