Regenerative Medicine

What Regenerative Medicine Can Do for You

• Brighter, smoother skin texture

• Softer fine lines and crepey skin

• Improved hydration and overall glow

• Support for hair density and scalp health

• Natural-looking soft-tissue restoration in targeted areas

Treatment Options

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP uses a small blood draw to concentrate platelets and plasma—components that contain natural signaling proteins involved in tissue repair and renewal.

Common aesthetic uses include:

• Post-procedure enhancement after microneedling, laser treatments, or Morpheus8

• Skin quality support for the face, neck, chest, and hands

• Scalp applications for thinning hair

What to expect:

• Blood draw → PRP processing → topical application and/or targeted injections

• Mild swelling or redness is common

• Best results typically require a series followed by maintenance treatments

PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor)

PDGF, Ariessence. (PDGF+), is a key “messenger” involved in the body’s repair cascade. In aesthetic practice, PDGF is most commonly used as a post-procedure topical to support recovery and visible skin quality improvements. Some practices also use PDGF in additional ways depending on clinician judgment and regulatory considerations.

Why patients like it:

• No blood draw (when used as a topical)
• Consistent formulation (not patient-dependent like PRP)
• Often paired with procedures such as microneedling, Morpheus8 or laser resurfacing

Salmon DNA (PDRN/PN) Therapy

(Often referred to online as a “salmon sperm facial”)

Clinically, this treatment refers to PDRN/PN (polynucleotides/polydeoxyribonucleotides) derived from salmon DNA. These compounds are used to support skin renewal, hydration, and overall skin quality—and in some cases, hair density.

They are commonly incorporated into post-procedure protocols or targeted “skin-booster” style treatments.

Best for:

• Dull, rough, or dehydrated skin

• Thin or crepey areas (such as under-eye or neck) in carefully selected patients

• Patients seeking long-term skin quality improvement rather than volume enhancement

alloClae® Structural Adipose Filler

(Soft-Tissue Restoration)

alloClae is a donor-derived adipose (fat) allograft designed for soft-tissue support and natural-appearing contour restoration in specific areas. Unlike traditional fat transfer, it is ready-to-use and does not require liposuction harvest from the patient.

Common patient-specific goals include:

• Improving contour irregularities (such as buttock contour or hip dips)

• Restoring soft-tissue “cushion” and structural support

• Achieving natural-appearing enhancement in select areas

Safety, Expectations & FDA / Regulatory Notes

• Results vary, and regenerative treatments cannot guarantee specific outcomes

• Some regenerative products and techniques may be used off-label in aesthetics depending on formulation and intended use

• These services are intended for aesthetic improvement and post-procedure support, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease

During your consultation, we will review:

• Your candidacy

• Expected outcomes

• Potential risks, including swelling, bruising, tenderness, infection risk, and possible nodules or irregularities where applicable

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see results?

Some patients notice an early “glow” within a few weeks. Regenerative changes typically build over 6–12 weeks and may continue to improve with a treatment series.

Can I combine regenerative medicine with fillers or lasers?

Yes. Many treatment plans are intentionally designed to pair regenerative support with procedures that stimulate collagen and tissue remodeling.

Is PRP better than PDGF or PDRN/PN?

They are different tools:

• PRP is patient-derived

• PDGF delivers targeted repair signals

• PDRN/PN supports skin quality and hydration

The best option depends on your goals, downtime tolerance, and preference for blood-draw vs topical or injectable protocols.
