Regenerative medicine helps your body function as it was designed to, by supporting natural repair and renewal processes. At Orchidia Medical Group, we use regenerative treatments in several ways, from improving sexual wellness to addressing joint concerns and supporting healthier skin. These options give patients a chance to work with their own biology to improve their health.
One of the approaches we use is exosome therapy, which relies on advanced cellular components to signal repair and rejuvenation. This treatment can help patients seeking relief from discomfort in the joints, improvements in sexual function, or an anti-aging effect for the complexion. We use a system from ZEO ScientifiX™, which is available to Florida residents and can provide another option for patients looking to improve their quality of life.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles released by many types of cells as part of normal communication within the body. They are extremely small, usually measuring between 50 and 100 nanometers. Inside, they carry a unique mix of proteins, lipids, and genetic material such as RNA and microRNA. Because their contents are specific to the cells they come from, exosomes can influence how other cells behave by transferring this biological information. They are an important part of natural processes that involve repair, regeneration, and overall cellular signaling.
What Is Exosome Therapy?
Exosome therapy uses concentrated extracellular vesicles to deliver powerful biological signals that promote repair and renewal within the body. These vesicles act like communication tools, carrying proteins, RNA, and growth factors that tell surrounding cells how to respond. When used in treatments, exosomes help encourage natural healing responses, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair.
How Autologous Exosomes Work
Autologous exosomes are created from your own blood, beginning with a small sample that is processed to remove red blood cells and other unwanted components. Centrifugation methods isolate the platelet-rich fraction that contains the highest concentration of extracellular vesicles, microRNA, and growth factors. The result is an exosome product that can be used to send consistent, pro-repair signals to targeted tissues.
What Does Autologous Mean?
Autologous refers to material that comes directly from your own body, rather than from a donor or synthetic source. In regenerative treatments, using autologous products means the preparation is derived from your own blood, cells, or tissues. This approach helps reduce the risk of rejection or reaction, since the body recognizes its own components as naturally compatible.
Conditions and Concerns That Can Be Treated With PPX Exosomes
Hair Restoration
Exosomes are an important part of signaling growth and repair, which makes them useful for stimulating hair follicles that have slowed down or gone dormant. Exosomes for hair loss give the scalp new biological signals that encourage healthier follicle activity and stronger strands. Exosome applications can be an alternative for patients who are not ready for transplant surgery or who want to strengthen existing hair density. The ability of exosomes to influence how cells behave offers a more natural way of supporting healthier growth.
Sexual Wellness
Exosomes can be used to support sexual wellness by encouraging healthier circulation, tissue repair, and improved sensitivity in areas that often change with age. We use concentrated exosomes to deliver stronger regenerative signals. These naturally occurring messengers guide cells to restore elasticity, improve comfort, and enhance function, offering men and women a non-surgical option for addressing intimate health concerns.
- P-Shot for Men: The P-Shot is an injection performed with exosomes that supports male sexual function and performance. The regenerative signals within the exosomes encourage stronger tissue, improved responsiveness, and healthier blood flow.
- O-Shot for Women: The O-Shot is an injection performed with exosomes that helps support female sexual wellness. By guiding tissue repair and circulation, the treatment can improve sensitivity, arousal, and overall comfort. It can also help treat dryness and improve the health of the tissues.
Anti-Aging
Exosomes interact with skin cells to improve their efficiency and renewal, which gives the complexion a healthier and more even appearance. This anti-aging treatment for the face reduces the impact of fine lines and skin texture changes while promoting a smoother and more hydrated surface. Because this treatment delivers growth factors and signaling molecules directly to skin cells, it helps make the skin look younger.
Joint Injections
Exosomes offer regenerative potential in orthopedic applications by helping tissues in the joints respond to injury and wear. Using them as a natural treatment for arthritis in the knee and other joints means delivering signals that encourage reduced inflammation and healthier cartilage activity. While some injections only mask discomfort, exosomes help the body address the underlying changes contributing to stiffness or pain.
IV Therapy for Systemic Benefits
Exosomes can also be administered through IV therapy, allowing their signaling molecules to circulate throughout the body. This method supports a broad range of cellular processes, from immune regulation to tissue recovery, and may be considered in protocols that focus on wellness and longevity. Because exosomes carry bioactive contents such as RNA and proteins, they influence multiple systems at once, so IV delivery is a way to reach areas beyond a single joint or treatment site.
What Are the Benefits of Autologous Exosome Therapy?
100% Autologous and Natural
Autologous exosome therapy is created from your own blood, which eliminates concerns about compatibility or rejection. The process isolates the platelet-derived fraction that is richest in extracellular vesicles and growth factors, then prepares it for use in a highly concentrated form.
Minimally Invasive Treatments
Exosomes can be applied without surgical procedures and are accessible for a wide range of concerns. Whether injected into a joint, combined with skin rejuvenation methods, or delivered intravenously, exosomes allow providers to offer meaningful support with little disruption to daily life.
Accelerated Healing
Cells respond to exosome signals quickly because they deliver concentrated instructions in the form of proteins, RNA, and growth factors. Skin can recover more smoothly after resurfacing treatments, joints can repair more effectively after strain, and tissues can reorganize with better efficiency. The ability to shorten downtime while promoting stronger repair is one of the reasons exosomes are gaining attention in regenerative medicine.
Can Be Combined With Other Treatments
Exosomes can enhance the results of existing treatments by working alongside them to improve cellular outcomes. They may be used alongside microneedling, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels. In orthopedics or sexual wellness, they can support other regenerative methods or medications.
About PPX Autologous Platelet-Derived Exosomes
We use PPX autologous platelet-derived exosomes from ZEO ScientifiX™ because they are created directly from your own blood, making them biologically compatible. The processing method carefully removes what the body does not need and concentrates the parts that send strong healing signals, such as growth factors and natural messengers. Every preparation is checked for purity and quality before it is returned for use, giving you a treatment that is both consistent and dependable.
What to Expect From Your Treatment Process
- Blood Collection: We draw a small sample of your blood in the office, using a processing kit that keeps the specimen secure and ready for shipment.
- Laboratory Processing: Next, we send the sample overnight to an FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant laboratory, where the plasma fraction is separated and concentrated to isolate the extracellular vesicles.
- Purification and Testing: Specialized centrifugation methods remove unwanted components like red blood cells and leukocytes, leaving behind a purified exosome concentrate that is tested for sterility and particle counts.
- Return of Final Product: Within about a week, the prepared PPX solution is shipped back to our office in measured vials that are ready for use in treatment.
- Administration of Therapy: We deliver the exosome injection or apply the concentrate depending on the treatment area, giving your body concentrated biological signals that support repair and regeneration.
Aftercare and Recovery Guidelines
- Avoid Excessive Exercise: Strenuous activity can increase circulation and swelling in the hours after your exosome treatment, so it is best to rest and allow your body time to respond. Light movement is fine, but high-intensity workouts should be postponed for several days.
- Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol thins the blood and can make bruising or swelling worse. Waiting at least 48 hours before drinking gives your body a better environment for healing and reduces unnecessary irritation.
- Stop Taking NSAIDs for Several Days: Anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen can interfere with the regenerative signals delivered by exosomes. We recommend avoiding these medications for about a week, but acetaminophen may be used if you are uncomfortable at any point.
- Use Ice for Soreness and Swelling: Some mild swelling or tenderness can occur at the injection site, especially with joint or aesthetic applications. Applying an ice pack intermittently for the first 24 to 48 hours can help calm irritation and promote comfort.
Guidelines may vary depending on the area being treated. For hair restoration, you may be advised to wait before washing your hair or applying topical products. For facial applications, makeup and skincare products should be avoided for the rest of the day to keep the skin clear. In orthopedic uses, we may have you limit activity to prevent strain on the treated joint.
Frequently Asked Questions About Exosomes
How Is PPX Different From PRP?
PRP has been used in regenerative medicine for years, but its results can vary because it contains a wide mixture of platelets and plasma. PPX takes the process further by isolating the platelet-derived fraction that is richest in extracellular vesicles, growth factors, and microRNA. Instead of delivering a broad and sometimes inconsistent preparation, PPX provides a more concentrated and reliable signal for repair and regeneration.
How Long Do PPX Results Last?
The longevity of results depends on what is being treated and how your body responds to cellular signaling. Some people may experience lasting improvements for several months in joints or skin, while others may need periodic touch-ups to maintain the outcome they are looking for.
Are Exosomes Safe?
Autologous exosomes are made from your own blood, so the risk of rejection or reaction is very low compared with synthetic substances. Each preparation goes through processing in an FDA-registered, cGMP laboratory where sterility and concentration are verified before the product is released.
How Many Exosome Treatments Will I Need?
Some individuals see a difference after a single treatment, while others benefit from a short series spaced out over several weeks. The number of sessions depends on the concern being addressed, whether it is hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, sexual wellness, or orthopedic support. We can evaluate how your body responds and then recommend when or if additional sessions would be useful.
When Will I See Exosome Results?
The body needs time to respond to the signals delivered by exosomes, so results are not immediate. Subtle improvements may appear within a few weeks, such as healthier-looking skin or increased comfort in a joint, while more noticeable changes tend to develop gradually as cells continue their repair work. Everyone responds differently to this treatment, so the best way to manage your expectations is through a personal consultation.
