Cosmetic Regenerative Treatments

Both use regenerative biologics to improve skin quality, but the source is different. PRP comes from your own blood and contains concentrated growth factors and platelets. Exosomes are nano-sized particles derived from stem cells that carry a broader range of regenerative signals including proteins, growth factors, and genetic instructions. Exosome facials tend to produce a more potent regenerative response for most patients; PRP facials are an excellent option for patients who prefer a treatment using their own biology. Dr. Thiara will recommend the right approach based on your skin and goals.

For most patients, yes. Microneedling alone is effective. Adding exosomes significantly amplifies the regenerative response by delivering concentrated biological signals through the microchannels created by the needles. The combination tends to produce faster results, deeper collagen stimulation, and more pronounced improvement in skin quality than microneedling alone.

Microneedling with exosomes is typically the most effective option for acne scarring because the combination works at the depth where scar tissue forms. The Cytopen delivers the exosome solution deeper into the dermis than standard needling, amplifying the remodeling response in the fibrous tissue that creates the depressed scar appearance. The PRP facial is also effective for acne scarring and can be layered with exosomes for more significant results. Dr. Thiara will assess your scarring pattern and recommend the right approach during your consultation.

For microneedling-based treatments, most patients can return to a gentle skincare routine within 24 to 48 hours and reintroduce makeup after 24 hours once the initial redness has subsided. Avoid active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, and vitamin C for the first three to five days following treatment, as the skin’s permeability is temporarily increased and these can cause irritation. Dr. Thiara or her team will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to the treatment you received.

Yes, when performed by a physician or under physician supervision using high-quality biologics. At Haven Medspa, all treatments are administered or directly overseen by Dr. Thiara. The biologics we use are sourced from accredited suppliers and meet rigorous quality standards. As with any procedure, individual risks and contraindications will be reviewed during your consultation.

Absolutely. Cosmetic regenerative treatments pair well with injectables, laser treatments, and other aesthetic services offered at Haven Medspa. Many patients choose to incorporate a regenerative protocol into their broader aesthetic care plan. Dr. Thiara can design an integrated approach that addresses multiple goals in a coordinated way.
