Vendor qualification for medspas and aesthetic practices
Medspas operating under physician supervision, along with dermatology and plastic surgery practices, typically ask for the same baseline documentation when qualifying a new biologics vendor: a certificate of analysis, donor eligibility summary, and confirmation that each lot passed quarantine and third-party sterility testing before release.
Because medspas operate under a supervising physician, vendor approval and intended-use review generally sit with that physician or medical director rather than with front-office staff.
NPI-verified accounts
Every account is verified against an NPI number before it can place an order, whether the practice is a solo dermatology office, a plastic surgery practice, or a medspa operating under its medical director's license.
Shipping and receiving
Cryopreserved products are shipped overnight on dry ice in validated containers after slow-rate freezing and storage at -80 degrees Celsius. Lyophilized exosome and Wharton's jelly formats ship at ambient temperature and are described as shelf-stable without cryogenic storage. Practices should log the lot number at receipt to maintain traceability at the patient-record level.
- Cryopreserved: overnight dry ice shipment
- Lyophilized: ambient, shelf-stable shipment
- Lot number logged at receipt and at use
Confirming oversight before ordering
Riverside medspas and aesthetic practices should confirm medical-director oversight requirements and any intended-use questions with the Medical Board of California and their own counsel before adding a new biologics vendor. Precision Biologics supports account setup and documentation; we do not advise on clinical use or protocol.
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
Does a medspa need its own NPI number, or can it use its medical director's?+
Account verification is based on the NPI submitted at setup; whether that is the practice's own number or the supervising physician's depends on how the medspa is structured, so contact us to confirm the right setup.
Is pricing available online for Riverside accounts?+
No. Pricing is available to verified accounts rather than published, since it varies by account type and order details.
What is the difference between your Wharton's jelly and exosome product documentation?+
Wharton's jelly products are offered under the supplier's HCT/P framework with a donor eligibility summary and certificate of analysis. Exosome products are not FDA approved and ship with supplier-reported characterization data and a full ingredient disclosure instead.
