Regenerative Medicine
Advanced biologics and physician expertise to help you look and feel your best — working with your body’s natural healing power.
At California LASIK & Eye, we believe that true beauty and wellness come from within. Our regenerative medicine program combines cutting-edge biologics with physician expertise to help you look and feel your best — whether you’re seeking to restore youthful skin, regrow thinning hair, or invest in long-term cellular health through stem cell banking.
What Is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine harnesses your body’s own healing mechanisms to repair, restore, and rejuvenate tissue at the cellular level. Unlike traditional cosmetic procedures that simply add volume or smooth wrinkles, regenerative treatments stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and new healthy cells. This approach delivers results that look and feel natural — because they are.
The science is rooted in understanding how your body responds to controlled injury. When we introduce growth factors, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, or stem cells to targeted areas, we activate your fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This biological response triggers a cascade of healing that continues improving your appearance and skin quality for months after treatment.
Our Regenerative Medicine Treatments
All treatments are administered by Kristen Barnett, NP-C, using carefully sourced, quality-controlled biologics in a sterile clinical setting.
Exosomes: Cellular Communication at Its Best
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles derived from stem cells that act as messengers between cells. They carry growth factors, proteins, and genetic material that signal your body to heal, regenerate, and restore damaged tissue — nature’s instruction manual for cellular renewal. We use exosomes in combination with microneedling and other delivery systems to maximize penetration and effectiveness.
Benefits of Exosome Therapy:
- ✓ Accelerated collagen and elastin production
- ✓ Improved skin texture and tone
- ✓ Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- ✓ Enhanced skin hydration and radiance
- ✓ Support for hair regrowth and scalp health
- ✓ Minimal downtime compared to invasive procedures
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Your Blood’s Healing Power
PRP is derived from your own blood and contains concentrated platelets loaded with growth factors and healing proteins. We offer PRP for three key areas:
Restores volume, improves skin quality, and brightens the periocular region without the risks of synthetic fillers.
Improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and restores a youthful glow. Often combined with microneedling for enhanced results.
Stimulates hair follicles and improves scalp blood flow. Effective for androgenetic alopecia and combinable with other hair restoration therapies.
Ariessence: Advanced Regenerative Serum
A proprietary regenerative serum with growth factors and bioactive compounds. Applied topically or combined with microneedling to enhance your skin’s natural repair processes and extend the benefits of your regenerative treatments.
VAMP: Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals, and PDRN
Combines essential nutrients with PDRN to nourish your skin at the cellular level, promoting hydration, elasticity, and a luminous complexion — an ideal complement to injectable and laser-based regenerative treatments.
ACORN: Hair Growth and Stem Cell Banking
Combines hair restoration support with long-term cellular preservation using stem cell technology to address hair thinning while banking your own cells for potential future regenerative applications.
Your banked stem cells may be available for future regenerative therapies — whether for hair restoration, skin applications, or other evolving technologies as advancements continue.
How Regenerative Medicine Works
Your body is constantly healing itself. Every day, your cells communicate, repair damage, and regenerate tissue. Regenerative medicine amplifies and directs this natural process.
When we administer exosomes, PRP, or stem cells, we’re introducing powerful signaling molecules that tell your body, “This area needs healing.” Your fibroblasts respond by increasing collagen production. Your immune system reduces inflammation. Your vascular system improves blood flow. Over weeks and months, you see visible improvements in skin quality, texture, and appearance.
“Regenerative medicine doesn’t just mask aging — it addresses it at the cellular level. Unlike traditional fillers or BOTOX, regenerative results often improve over time.”

Treatment Combinations for Optimal Results
Many patients benefit from combining regenerative treatments. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which combinations align with your goals and timeline.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative treatments are suitable for most adults seeking natural-looking improvement in skin quality, hair health, or long-term cellular wellness. Ideal candidates:
- ● Want natural-looking results that improve over time
- ● Prefer treatments that work with their body’s healing capacity
- ● Are interested in addressing aging at the cellular level
- ● Seek alternatives to synthetic fillers or invasive surgery
- ● Have realistic expectations about timeline and results
- ● Are committed to a treatment plan that may span several months
Recovery and Results Timeline
One of the key advantages of regenerative medicine is minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately or within a day or two of treatment.
Mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Results begin appearing within 2–4 weeks and continue improving for 3–6 months.
Minimal downtime. Some patients experience mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days. Results develop gradually over 4–8 weeks.
Procedure-specific recovery. Your provider will discuss the full timeline during your consultation.
Administered in conjunction with microneedling — expect approximately 24–48 hours of redness and mild sensitivity.
Patient Testimonials and Results
Our patients consistently report satisfaction with their regenerative medicine results — appreciating natural appearance, gradual improvement, and treatments that work with their body rather than against it.
“Kristen is such a gem, she is so kind, caring, and an absolute pro who loves what she does. I fully trust her with my face. I’ve recommended her to everyone I know, and drive from Reno to see her.”
“Kristen was fantastic! Her bedside manner is outstanding, and she explains things that might help with the whole aging process. The results from my neurotoxins and fillers are amazing — I highly recommend her!”
“They have a beautiful office and Kristen was extremely friendly and very informative every step of the way. They will go above and beyond to try and meet your expectations and make sure you are satisfied.”
