Regenerative Aesthetics

Regenerative Aesthetic Treatments Blog Cover Image

The future of aesthetics is rooted in regeneration—working with your body, not against it. Regenerative treatments harness the body’s natural healing abilities to restore, rejuvenate, and refresh the skin from the inside out. These treatments are gaining popularity for their subtle, natural-looking results and long-term skin benefits. Two of the most talked-about regenerative options at MidAmerica right now are Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Plated, an exosome-based product. These innovations are changing the way we think about skin rejuvenation.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): Nature’s Collagen Booster

PRF is often described as the next generation of platelet therapy, following in the footsteps of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), but offering longer-lasting and more potent results. PRF is created by drawing a small amount of your own blood and spinning it in a centrifuge without anticoagulants, resulting in a fibrin matrix rich in platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells. When injected or applied during microneedling, PRF slowly releases growth factors over time to stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity, and enhance overall skin texture. It's especially effective for under-eye hollows, fine lines, and skin laxity. Because it's 100% natural and derived from your own body, PRF is ideal for clients seeking a more holistic approach to anti-aging.

Plated™: The Power of Exosomes in a Bottle

On the cutting edge of regenerative skincare is Plated, an exosome-powered topical that’s gaining attention for its ability to mimic the skin’s own healing signals. Exosomes are tiny messenger particles derived from stem cells that carry powerful growth factors, peptides, and genetic material to help trigger skin repair and regeneration. What makes Plated unique is its proprietary formulation, which isolates and concentrates exosomes to maximize their skin-rejuvenating effects. This product can be used after procedures like microneedling or laser, or as part of a high-performance home regimen. Plated helps reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, improve skin tone, and stimulate collagen and elastin production for smoother, brighter, firmer skin—without downtime.

CO2Lift Pro: Carboxy Therapy Meets Skin Regeneration

We’re also thrilled to now offer CO2Lift Pro Carboxy Gel Treatment, a revolutionary, non-invasive therapy that uses carbon dioxide to deeply oxygenate and hydrate the skin. This advanced carboxy gel works by creating a temporary, controlled state of oxygen deficiency on the skin’s surface, triggering an immediate surge of oxygen-rich blood flow. The result? Increased collagen production, improved circulation, and accelerated skin healing. It’s gentle yet powerful, making it an excellent option post-procedure or as a stand-alone treatment to restore brightness, hydration, and elasticity. In the world of regenerative aesthetics, CO2Lift Pro is changing the game by delivering medical-grade skin rejuvenation—with no needles and no downtime.

Why Regenerative Aesthetics Are Here to Stay

As more people seek treatments that work with their biology rather than against it, regenerative products like PRF and Plated are leading the way. They offer a blend of science and nature that appeals to clients who want real results without harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Whether you're new to aesthetics or looking to take your skincare routine to the next level, regenerative treatments are an investment in your skin's long-term health and vitality.
