How aesthetic practices in this region qualify a new supplier
Medspas, dermatology practices and plastic surgery practices generally request the same core documentation before approving a biologics vendor: verifiable registration and licensure records, a lot-specific certificate of analysis, and confirmation that marketing claims stop short of naming a condition or outcome.
Account verification tied to the supervising physician
Because many aesthetic accounts operate under medical director supervision, we verify the supervising physician's National Provider Identifier as part of account setup, separately from the practice's general business registration.
Shipping, storage and traceability
Cryopreserved Wharton's jelly and exosome formats are shipped overnight on dry ice in validated containers and stored at -80 degrees Celsius until use. Lyophilized exosome formats ship and store at ambient temperature per their product insert. Logging the lot number at intake keeps the unit traceable to the patient record.
Verification steps before your first order
Confirm the supervising physician's license and the practice's scope of operation with the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine and with your own counsel before adding a new biologics line. 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 page is written for licensed professionals, not as 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 Pittsburgh medspa order if the physician is only a supervising medical director?+
Yes, as long as the medspa operates under physician supervision and the supervising physician's National Provider Identifier is used to verify the account.
Is there a difference in account setup for dermatology versus plastic surgery practices?+
No. Verification depends on the practice's NPI and licensure status, not on which of the two aesthetic taxonomies the provider is registered under.
Do lyophilized exosome products need the same cold-chain handling as Wharton's jelly shipments?+
No. Lyophilized exosome formats are shelf-stable at ambient temperature, while cryopreserved Wharton's jelly formats require dry ice transit and -80 degree Celsius storage.
