Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy harnesses the concentrated healing power of your own blood. A small sample is drawn, processed through our dual-centrifuge protocol, producing a platelet concentration 5–7× above baseline, then precisely injected into the affected joint under real-time ultrasound guidance.
Platelets release growth factors, including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF-1, that signal tissue repair, reduce inflammatory cascades, stimulate collagen synthesis, and promote the regeneration of cartilage, tendon, and ligament tissue.
This is not pain management. This is biology-directed repair. For patients seeking an alternative to cortisone injections, viscosupplementation, or surgery, PRP at Arbour Longevity represents the current gold standard in regenerative joint care.

The Evidence
PRP therapy is among the most studied regenerative interventions in orthopedic medicine. At Arbour Longevity, we follow evidence-based protocols, using dual-centrifuge processing to maximize platelet yield and ultrasound guidance to ensure precise intra-articular delivery every time.
Dual-centrifuge processing produces 5–7× baseline platelet concentration, the clinically effective threshold for tissue regeneration.
In peer-reviewed knee OA studies, over 73% of PRP patients reported significant pain and function improvement at 12-month follow-up.
Every Arbour Longevity PRP injection is performed under real-time ultrasound guidance, ensuring precise intra-articular placement, not approximation.
Clinical improvements from PRP typically persist 6–12+ months, with many patients experiencing durable results from a single series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most PRP clinics use a single-spin centrifuge, producing 2–3× platelet concentration, the minimum therapeutic threshold. Arbour Longevity's dual-centrifuge protocol produces 5–7× baseline concentration, delivering a significantly higher density of regenerative growth factors to the treatment site. The difference in platelet yield directly correlates with clinical outcomes.
Studies show that blind (palpation-guided) joint injections miss the intra-articular space in 20–40% of cases, depending on the joint. When PRP is injected outside the joint, its therapeutic effect is dramatically reduced. Every Arbour Longevity injection is performed under real-time ultrasound visualization, ensuring the PRP is delivered exactly where it needs to be, every time.
We recommend a series of 3 injections spaced 4–6 weeks apart for most patients; this is the protocol supported by the strongest clinical evidence. Some patients experience meaningful improvement after a single injection, while others with more advanced degeneration may benefit from a second series at 6–12 months.
PRP is not covered by most insurance plans, as it is classified as investigational by many carriers. Arbour Longevity operates as a cash-pay practice for regenerative services. We accept HSA and FSA funds, and patient financing is available for qualified applicants. Many patients find the cost of a PRP series compares favorably to the cumulative cost of ongoing cortisone injections, physical therapy, and eventual surgical consultation.
Cortisone provides rapid anti-inflammatory relief, typically lasting 6–12 weeks, but does not address the underlying tissue damage and can accelerate cartilage degradation with repeated use. PRP works differently: it initiates a regenerative response that builds over 4–12 weeks and may produce durable improvements lasting 6–18 months or longer. PRP treats the cause. Cortisone masks the symptom.
Most patients experience mild soreness and swelling at the injection site for 24–72 hours, this is the normal inflammatory phase of the healing response. Activity modification is recommended for 48–72 hours. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, with gradual return to sport or strenuous activity guided by symptom response over 2–4 weeks.

Growth Factors Per Vial
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived
Protocols at Arbour Longevity
PRP concentrates growth factors from your own blood. Peptides signal specific biological pathways. Collagen stimulators trigger the fibroblast response. All of these are powerful tools, and Arbour Longevity uses them all.
Exosomes operate at a different level entirely. These nano-vesicles don't deliver one signal, they carry a complex biological payload including over 1,000 growth factors, proteins, lipids, and microRNA sequences that modulate gene expression in recipient cells. They are, in the most literal sense, cellular communication, the same mechanism your body uses to coordinate healing, regeneration, and immune response.
When applied topically during procedures that open microchannels, microneedling, Plexr Plus Shower, CAT Resurfacing, Glass Lift, Plexrplasty, or RF treatments, exosome biologics reach the deeper dermal layers where collagen is synthesized, where hair follicles are anchored, and where the cascade of regeneration begins. The result is a regenerative response that goes beyond what the procedure alone initiates.

How Applied at Arbour Longevity
Topically during or immediately after microneedling, Plexr Plus Shower, CAT Resurfacing, Glass Lift, Plexrplasty, and RF procedures, delivered through open microchannels to deeper dermal layers.
vs. PRP
Standardized concentration every time · Not dependent on individual blood quality · Broader growth factor payload · Can be combined with PRP for synergistic effect
Facial · Skin Quality
Texture. Tone. Luminosity. The skin quality that no single ingredient achieves alone.
Applied during microneedling, the exosome biologic is delivered through thousands of microchannels directly to the dermis, triggering a regenerative cascade that continues for weeks: improved texture, fine line reduction, more even tone, and a luminosity patients describe as their skin coming alive.
Process: Scalp microneedling creates precision microchannels for topical exosome application, while PRP may be incorporated separately as part of a personalized regenerative hair protocol.
Scalp · Hair
Growth factor delivery to the follicular microenvironment where hair begins.
Applied to the scalp during scalp microneedling, exosome biologics deliver concentrated cellular signaling directly to the dermal papilla region, the follicular structure that determines whether dormant follicles reactivate. VEGF drives angiogenesis. FGF stimulates follicular proliferation. MicroRNA modulates hair cycle gene expression.
Pairs with: Scalp microneedling · PRP hair treatment · PDO trichogenesis · Rx protocols
Recovery · Enhancement
Better results. Shorter recovery. Applied after every major Arbour Longevity procedure.
Applied immediately after CAT Resurfacing, Plexr Plus Shower, Glass Lift, Plexrplasty, deep peels, or RF microneedling, the exosome biologic delivers concentrated growth factor signaling directly into disrupted tissue, shortening redness duration, accelerating surface healing, and enhancing the quality of new tissue formed during the healing cascade.
Pairs with: CAT Resurfacing · Plexr Plus Shower · Glass Lift · Plexrplasty · RF Microneedling · Deep Peels
Combined Regenerative
Autologous growth factors plus standardized exosome signaling. The most complete regenerative combination at Arbour Longevity.
PRP initiates the immediate platelet-derived healing cascade. The exosome biologic extends and broadens that response, delivering 1,000+ growth factors and microRNA that PRP cannot match in breadth. Together they cover the full spectrum: immediate from PRP, sustained and comprehensive from exosomes. Consistently outperforms either alone.
Available with: Vampire Facial® · Aesthetic PRP · Hair PRP · Any PRP protocol at Arbour Longevity
Body · Skin Quality
Collagen signaling where the body's skin has thinned, loosened, and lost its regenerative response.
Applied during body microneedling to arms, décolleté, abdomen, and thighs, delivering growth factor signaling to body skin that has lost collagen and regenerative capacity. Improved firmness, texture, and skin quality in areas where topical products cannot penetrate.

Exosomes vs. PRP
Arbour Longevity Approach to Exosome Protocols
Many Arbour Longevity patients receive both in the same session, PRP for its autologous, clinically established growth factor delivery, and exosome biologics for the standardized broader-spectrum cellular signaling that extends and deepens the response. The combination consistently outperforms either alone in skin quality, hair density, and recovery outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles, 30 to 150 nanometers, that cells naturally release to communicate with each other. They carry a complex payload of over 1,000 growth factors, proteins, lipids, and microRNA sequences that influence how recipient cells behave, regenerate, and repair. In aesthetic applications, exosome biologics derived from mesenchymal stem cell cultures are applied topically during procedures like microneedling, Plexr Plus Shower, CAT Resurfacing, and Glass Lift, delivered through microchannels to deeper dermal layers where the regenerative response occurs.
PRP uses growth factors concentrated from your own blood, autologous, natural, and well-established. Exosome biologics deliver a standardized, high-concentration cellular signaling payload with over 1,000 growth factors and microRNA that PRP alone cannot match in breadth and consistency. PRP concentration varies with your individual platelet count; exosomes deliver the same potency every session. The two can be combined, and often are at Arbour Longevity, for a synergistic effect that outperforms either alone.
No exosome product currently holds FDA approval, Arbour Longevity is transparent about this at every consultation. The exosome biologics used at Arbour Longevity are professionally sourced, cGMP-aligned, and applied topically in conjunction with established clinical procedures including microneedling, Plexr Plus Shower, CAT Resurfacing, Glass Lift, and Plexrplasty. Arbour Longevity does not make therapeutic claims about exosome products. We believe the science is compelling and the clinical experience consistent, and we believe patients deserve the honest context to make informed decisions.
Clinical studies exploring exosome applications report improvements in skin texture and tone, reductions in fine lines, pigmentation improvement in 68% of participants in some trials, and an average 28% increase in hair density in androgenetic alopecia studies. At Arbour Longevity, patients consistently report that exosome-enhanced sessions produce noticeably superior outcomes, faster recovery, better skin quality, and more sustained results. Individual outcomes vary and are discussed at consultation.
Exosome protocols at Arbour Longevity are most appropriate for patients wanting to maximize procedure outcomes, patients experiencing hair loss who want to optimize follicular regeneration, patients seeking accelerated recovery after resurfacing procedures, and patients in Arbour Longevity program seeking broader cellular support. Candidacy and protocol design are discussed at consultation.
"I've had microneedling at two other practices. The exosome session at Arbour Longevity was completely different, the results after one session were better than three sessions elsewhere. The texture of my skin one month later is genuinely remarkable."
"After my laser resurfacing I did the exosome recovery protocol. My redness resolved in three days instead of the ten I had expected. And the quality of the healed skin, the smoothness, the even tone, exceeded anything from previous treatments."
"The combination of PRP and exosomes made the difference I couldn't achieve with PRP alone. Six months in, my hair density has improved more than I thought possible without surgery. My clinician was honest about the science, that's what I trust."

IV vitamin therapy has a ceiling. The ceiling is defined by what can be administered without a clinician, and it stops well short of what Arbour Longevity can offer. The difference is clinical depth, and it is the difference between a wellness service and a medical protocol that produces measurable outcomes.
Arbour Longevity can prescribe and administer Toradol, Zofran, and Benadryl intravenously. These are prescription medications that require a licensed clinician to administer, and what make our Pain & Migraine and Hangover Recovery Signature Drips produce results that vitamins alone never achieve.
Arbour Longevity IV protocols are integrated with our longevity medicine programs. NAD+ IV is part of your peptide therapy protocol. Our Metabolic Reset supports your weight loss program. The Myers' Cocktail complements your functional medicine micronutrient repletion. This is not a menu of isolated drips, it is a clinical system.
