Physician supervision and vendor review
Medspas ordering regenerative biologics generally need a supervising physician or medical director involved in supplier selection, since ordering accounts are restricted to licensed professionals. That person typically reviews sourcing documentation and any characterization data before a product is added to the practice's catalog.
Dermatology and plastic surgery practices evaluating Wharton's jelly or exosome products often extend this review to an intended-use determination with outside counsel, since how a product is regulated depends on the specific use a practice has in mind.
Opening an NPI-verified account
Precision Biologics verifies every ordering account against an NPI number before granting access to documentation or pricing. A Des Moines practice administrator can initiate verification directly, after which the account can request lot-specific paperwork ahead of any order.
A peer-to-peer call with physician-level staff is available to walk through sourcing, processing, and documentation questions; these calls do not address treatment planning or product selection for a specific patient.
Shipping and storage for an aesthetic practice
Cryopreserved Wharton's jelly products ship overnight on dry ice in validated containers and require immediate transfer to -80 degree Celsius storage. Lyophilized exosome and Wharton's jelly formats are shelf-stable and ship according to the insert supplied with the lot, which can simplify storage for practices without ultra-low freezer capacity.
Every vial carries a unique lot identifier; practices are expected to record that identifier against the patient file for their own traceability.
Documentation and confirming your regulatory posture
A certificate of analysis, donor eligibility summary, and lot release record are available to verified accounts for each lot. For exosome products, supplier-reported characterization data, including particle analysis and marker testing, is available on request.
Iowa practices should confirm medical-director and supervision requirements directly with the Iowa medical board and their own counsel; Precision Biologics does not advise on clinical use, indications, or treatment protocols.
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.
These products are not FDA approved or licensed for any disease or condition. Information is for licensed healthcare professionals and is not medical or legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Can a medspa in Des Moines order directly from Precision Biologics?+
Ordering accounts are open to licensed medspas, dermatology practices, and plastic surgery practices operating under physician supervision, subject to NPI verification. A medical director or supervising physician typically leads the account setup.
Are exosome products FDA approved?+
No. FDA has stated that there are no FDA-approved exosome products, and these products are generally regulated as biologic drugs. Purchase and use decisions rest with the treating physician and the practice's own regulatory counsel.
What should a Des Moines practice check before its first shipment?+
Confirm storage capacity for the product format ordered, since cryopreserved products require -80 degree Celsius storage while lyophilized formats are shelf-stable. Review the certificate of analysis and lot release record for that specific shipment on arrival.
