REGENERATIVE AESTHETICS GUIDE · SAN DIEGO

What are regenerative aesthetic treatments, and what do they cost?

Regenerative aesthetics uses your body’s own healing, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), biostimulators like Sculptra, and exosome-supported protocols, to improve skin quality, collagen, and recovery over time.

At SOM in Encinitas, most regenerative treatments are priced per session or as a short series, commonly $700–$1,800 per session by protocol. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider confirms candidacy and your plan in consultation.

EDUCATIONAL · HOW IT WORKS

How regenerative aesthetics works.

Regenerative treatments concentrate your body’s own healing signals, growth factors from PRP and PRF, collagen-stimulating biostimulators, and exosome-supported serums, and deliver them where your skin needs repair. Instead of adding a synthetic product, they prompt your own cells to rebuild.

At SOM, a dermatologist-trained SOM provider selects the protocol and pairing, often with microneedling or laser, based on your skin, hair, and goals. Because results rely on your biology, they appear gradually and look natural, building over weeks across a planned series.
