At Rothaus Plastic Surgery, we are always paying attention to where aesthetic medicine is headed, not just what is trending now. Over the last few years, regenerative aesthetics has completely changed the conversation around aging and skin health. Patients are becoming less interested in looking “filled” and more interested in improving the quality of their skin in a way that looks healthy, natural, and believable.
That shift is exactly why we became interested in secretome therapy.
While exosomes, growth factors, and regenerative injectables have become increasingly popular, secretome therapy takes regenerative medicine several steps further by creating a treatment derived from your own biology.
What Is the Secretome?
The secretome is essentially the collection of regenerative signaling molecules released by stem cells, including growth factors, peptides, cytokines, and proteins involved in healing, collagen production, and cellular communication.
What makes our approach different at Rothaus Plastic Surgery is that we use the Acorn system to create a personalized secretome from your own hair follicles.
A small sample of hair follicles is collected and sent to Acorn’s California laboratory, where your stem cells are isolated, expanded, and banked. From there, your own individualized secretome can be created and incorporated into future regenerative treatments.
In other words, this is not a generic regenerative product being used on every patient the same way. It is designed specifically from your own cells.
Why Everyone Is Talking About Regenerative Aesthetics Right Now
Aesthetic medicine is moving away from the “more filler, more volume” era. Patients want skin that looks expensive, with healthy texture, better elasticity, collagen support, glow, and firmness. The focus has shifted toward prevention, maintenance, and skin quality.
That is why regenerative medicine has become one of the fastest growing areas in aesthetics.
Rather than temporarily masking aging, regenerative treatments aim to improve the underlying biology of the skin itself. Secretome therapy fits perfectly into this new direction because it focuses on cellular signaling and tissue regeneration rather than simply correction.
Why Secretome Therapy Is Different From Exosomes, PDRN, and PDGF
There are a lot of regenerative buzzwords in aesthetics right now, but not all regenerative treatments are created equally.
Exosomes, PDRN, and PDGF all work within specific regenerative pathways, but they are still limited compared to the complexity of a personalized secretome. The secretome contains a broad network of signaling molecules working together simultaneously, which is part of what makes it so exciting in regenerative medicine.
Most importantly, our secretome treatments are derived from your own biology.
That level of personalization is what makes this feel like the next generation of regenerative aesthetics.
Cost of Secretome Therapy
The cost of secretome therapy varies depending on how the treatment is incorporated into your overall regenerative plan. Factors such as the treatment area, combination procedures, and the creation and banking of your personalized secretome through the Acorn system can all influence pricing.
During your consultation at Rothaus Plastic Surgery, we will review your goals, determine the most appropriate treatment approach, and provide a customized pricing plan tailored to your needs.
Real Patient Testimonials
My experience at Dr. Rothaus’ office has always been wonderful! I’ve known Dr. Rothaus for quite a while – I’ve been coming to the NYC location since getting my ears pierced in elementary school and am now in my 20s working full-time in Manhattan! I’ve since done laser scar and hair removal with Joanne and Juliana, who both have been excellent and the treatments have been extremely effective. Everyone who works in the office is an absolute pleasure and I look forward to continuing my services with Dr. Rothaus and his team!
Read More TestimonialsHow We Use Secretome Therapy at Rothaus Plastic Surgery
At Rothaus Plastic Surgery, we incorporate secretome therapy into many of our regenerative treatment plans depending on the patient’s goals and skin concerns.
We commonly pair secretome therapy with:
- Microneedling
- Laser treatments
- Radiofrequency procedures
- Hair restoration treatments
- Post procedure recovery protocols
The goal is not to dramatically change the face. It is to improve skin behavior over time, supporting healthier collagen production, better healing, stronger skin quality, and a more refreshed appearance overall.
The Future of Skin Rejuvenation
The most exciting part of regenerative aesthetics is that we are moving toward treatments that work with the skin instead of against it. Better collagen. Better healing. Better tissue quality. Less overcorrection.
Secretome therapy represents a major shift in how we think about aging and skin rejuvenation, and we are incredibly excited to bring this technology to patients at Rothaus Plastic Surgery on the Upper East Side.
