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, our team in Sacramento, Roseville, and Folsom is here to guide you through advanced, science-backed treatments that work with your body’s natural healing power.
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 behind regenerative medicine 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
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. Think of exosomes as nature’s instruction manual for cellular renewal.
We use exosomes in combination with microneedling and other delivery systems to maximize penetration and effectiveness. This approach is particularly powerful for addressing fine lines, skin texture irregularities, and loss of radiance. Exosome therapy also supports hair growth by stimulating dormant follicles and improving scalp health.
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
- ✓ Natural-looking results that improve over time
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. When injected or applied topically, PRP stimulates tissue repair and collagen production. We offer PRP treatments for three key areas.
The under-eye area is delicate and often shows signs of aging first, with dark circles, hollowing, and fine lines. PRP under-eye treatment restores volume, improves skin quality, and brightens the periocular region without the risks of synthetic fillers. Results develop gradually as collagen rebuilds, creating a refreshed, natural appearance.
PRP facial treatment addresses aging across the entire face, improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and restoring a youthful glow. Many patients combine PRP with microneedling to enhance penetration and results. The treatment stimulates your skin’s own regenerative capacity, delivering improvements that continue for months.
Hair loss affects confidence and quality of life. PRP scalp treatment works by stimulating hair follicles and improving blood flow to the scalp. This approach is effective for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and can be combined with other hair restoration therapies for optimal results.
Ariessence: Advanced Regenerative Serum
Ariessence is a proprietary regenerative serum formulated with growth factors and bioactive compounds designed to support skin healing and rejuvenation. Applied topically or used in combination with microneedling, Ariessence enhances your skin’s natural repair processes and extends the benefits of your regenerative treatments.
VAMP: Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals, and PDRN
VAMP (Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals, PDRN) is a comprehensive topical treatment that combines essential nutrients with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a naturally derived compound that supports cellular energy and healing. VAMP nourishes your skin at the cellular level, promoting hydration, elasticity, and a luminous complexion. It’s an ideal complement to injectable and laser-based regenerative treatments.
ACORN: Hair Growth and Stem Cell Banking
ACORN represents an advanced approach to regenerative medicine, combining hair restoration support with long-term cellular preservation. This innovative protocol utilizes stem cell technology to address hair thinning while also banking your own cells for potential future regenerative applications. By preserving your cells at their current state, you are making a proactive investment in long-term wellness and aesthetic planning.
In addition to scalp applications, ACORN technology can support skin rejuvenation. The stem cell–derived secretome — a concentrated blend of growth factors, cytokines, and bioactive signaling molecules — may be delivered into the skin using microneedling. This approach helps stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and support the body’s natural repair processes at the cellular level.
ACORN is ideal for patients who want to take a forward-thinking approach to hair health and skin longevity. Your banked stem cells may be available for future regenerative therapies, whether for hair restoration, skin applications, or other evolving regenerative 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.
This is why regenerative results often improve over time, unlike traditional fillers or BOTOX that work immediately but don’t address the underlying aging process. Regenerative medicine doesn’t just mask aging, it addresses it at the cellular level.

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
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin, hair, and health history to determine which regenerative treatments are right for you.
Recovery and Results Timeline
One of the 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 timeline during consultation.
Because these treatments are administered in conjunction with microneedling, patients can expect approximately 24–48 hours of redness and mild sensitivity. Use as directed to support your regenerative results.
Patient Testimonials
