Qualifying a supplier for an aesthetic practice
Medspas and aesthetic practices that bring on a new biologics supplier generally ask for the same baseline documentation a surgical practice would: verifiable registration and licensure records, a certificate of analysis for the specific lot being purchased, and a donor eligibility summary.
Because many aesthetic accounts are medical director-supervised rather than physician-owned, we also confirm the supervising physician's NPI as part of account setup, not just the practice's business information.
Receiving shipments and keeping lots traceable
Cryopreserved Wharton's jelly and exosome formats ship overnight on dry ice in validated containers at -80 degrees Celsius; lyophilized exosome formats are shelf-stable and ship at ambient temperature with their own insert. Either way, logging the lot number at intake keeps the product traceable to the patient record once it leaves cold storage.
Verification and documentation before your first order
Before adding a new line, confirm the supervising physician's license and the practice's scope of operation directly with the State Medical Board of Ohio and with your own counsel; we are not a substitute for that review. Certificates of analysis, donor eligibility summaries and lot release records are available on request. These products are not FDA approved or licensed for any disease or condition, and this information is for licensed professionals, not medical or legal advice.
FDA has stated there are no FDA-approved exosome products. Exosome products are generally regulated as biologic drugs under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act, not as 361 HCT/Ps. Purchase and clinical use decisions belong to the physician with their own regulatory counsel.

Frequently asked questions
Can a medspa in Cincinnati order without an on-site physician owner?+
Yes, provided the medspa operates under physician supervision and the supervising physician's National Provider Identifier is used to verify the account.
What is the difference in how Dermatology and Plastic Surgery accounts are verified?+
None. Verification is based on the practice's NPI and licensure status rather than which aesthetic taxonomy the provider is registered under.
Do lyophilized exosome products need cold-chain shipping to Cincinnati?+
No. Lyophilized formats are shelf-stable and ship at ambient temperature, while cryopreserved Wharton's jelly formats still require dry ice and -80 degree Celsius storage.
