How It Works, What the Science Says,
and What REVĪV Offers.
How It Works at REVĪV: From Discovery to Follow-Up
01 · Discovery
You arrive with a question, a concern, or a referral. This is where we start: with your goals, your history, and your questions about regenerative biologic care — without pressure and without a predetermined protocol.
02 · Paid Physician Consultation
A 60–90 minute one-on-one with a REVIV physician, including history review, physical examination, imaging review when applicable, and a candid discussion of whether regenerative therapy is appropriate for your case. Investment: starts at $29 (up to $99 depending on depth). No obligation to proceed; we are happy to refer you elsewhere if regenerative medicine isn't the right fit.
03 · Individualized Care Plan
If regenerative biologic care fits your case, your physician builds a care plan specific to your evaluation — the appropriate therapy or therapies, the delivery protocol, and the follow-up schedule. There is no one-size-fits-all protocol at REVĪV.
04 · Physician-Supervised Therapy
Therapy is administered in the comfort of your own home by the physician. Where applicable, injections are ultrasound-guided for precision placement. Therapeutic devices may be prescribed for home use, when necessary.
05 · Follow-Up & Evaluation
Your progress is evaluated over time against your individual goals. Your physician adjusts the care plan based on your response. Individual results vary — follow-up evaluation is built into the plan, not an afterthought.
What Regenerative Biologic Therapies Do —
and How They Work at the Cellular Level
What Are Exosomes, and What Do They Do?
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles — tiny particles naturally produced by cells — that act as messengers in the body's internal communication system. They carry growth factors, cytokines, and signaling proteins from one cell to another.
What Are Biologic Allograft Injections?
Biologic allografts are preparations derived from donated human tissue, processed according to FDA guidelines under HCT/P 361 criteria. They are preparations rich in growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components that participate in your body's tissue-restoration processes.
What Is Advanced Wound Care, and Who Is It For?
Advanced wound care at REVĪV is physician-supervised biologic management for non-healing and chronic wounds — including diabetic ulcers and post-surgical wounds — using biologic dressings and growth-factor preparations.
What Are Therapeutic Devices, and How Do They Fit?
REVĪV's therapeutic devices — including professional-grade photobiomodulation and neuromuscular support — are used in-office as part of a physician-supervised care plan. Some devices may be dispensed for home use between visits when clinically appropriate.
About Stem Cell Therapy — and Why Exosome Therapy Is Different
Stem cell therapy is frequently searched but inconsistently defined. The FDA has issued specific guidance distinguishing regulated HCT/P products from unapproved cellular therapies — and the language your provider uses around these products reflects how seriously they take that distinction.
REVĪV does not offer stem cell therapy. We offer exosome therapy and FDA-registered biologic allografts processed according to FDA guidelines. Exosomes are cellular messengers, not cells; allografts are registered under HCT/P 361 criteria.
Active adults deserve a provider who explains the difference — and who won’t promise outcomes the science doesn’t support.
Regenerative Medicine Glossary
Exosome
Extracellular vesicles naturally produced by cells that carry growth factors, cytokines, and signaling proteins. They function as cellular messengers. Exosomes are not cells and are not classified as stem cells.
Biologic Allograft
A preparation derived from donated human tissue, processed according to FDA guidelines under HCT/P 361 criteria — meeting the FDA's minimal-manipulation and homologous-use standards for tissue products.
HCT/P
Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products. The FDA regulatory category covering tissue-derived products including biologic allografts under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act.
Tissue-Restoration Process
The body's natural biological response to injury, degeneration, or cellular disruption. Regenerative biologic therapies at REVĪV are designed to support — not replace — these natural processes.
Ultrasound-Guided Injection
A delivery method in which the physician uses real-time ultrasound imaging to place the needle at the precise anatomical target. Standard protocol at REVĪV for injectable biologic therapies.
FDA-Registered
Applies specifically to biologic allografts meeting HCT/P 361 criteria. 'Registered' is not the same as 'FDA-approved' — a distinction REVĪV maintains in all patient communications.
Growth Factor
A naturally occurring protein that signals cells to perform functions including migration and differentiation. Biologic allografts and exosomes at REVĪV contain growth factors as part of their bioactive profile.
Photobiomodulation
A therapeutic application of specific wavelengths of light to support cellular activity. REVĪV uses photobiomodulation devices as part of physician-supervised care plans.
Non-Healing Wound
A clinical term for a wound that has not progressed through expected closure stages under standard care. REVĪV addresses non-healing wounds with physician-supervised biologic protocols.
Individualized Care Plan
The REVĪV model does not use protocol-by-default. Every patient who proceeds to therapy receives a care plan built around the physician's evaluation of their specific case, goals, and clinical profile.
Frequently Asked Questions About Regenerative Medicine
Initial consultations at REVĪV start at $29 and may go up to $99 depending on the depth of evaluation needed. The visit includes a full history review, physical examination, imaging review when applicable, and a candid discussion of whether regenerative therapy is appropriate for your case. There is no obligation to proceed.
Treatment cost varies by therapy type, condition severity, and the number of sessions your physician recommends. Because every protocol is custom-designed during your consultation, exact pricing is provided in writing before any treatment begins. We are transparent about cost upfront and can discuss financing options if helpful.
Achieved results may vary. Physician evaluation required.
Most patients begin to notice improvement in 4–8 weeks, with continued benefit over 3–6 months as the biologic response unfolds. Recovery from the procedure itself is typically minimal — most patients return to normal activity the same day or the next, with strenuous athletic activity and heavy lifting restricted for 1–2 weeks. Your physician will provide a realistic, condition-specific timeline during your consultation.
Achieved results may vary based on condition, age, overall health, and adherence to your care plan. Physician evaluation required.
The FDA has not approved any stem cell therapies for general use outside of specific blood-related conditions. REVĪV does not offer stem cell therapy. We offer exosome therapy and FDA-registered biologic allografts — two distinct categories with their own regulatory frameworks, mechanisms, and clinical profiles.
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles — cellular messengers carrying growth factors and signaling proteins. They are not cells. Stem cells are living cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation. These are fundamentally different products with different mechanisms and regulatory statuses. REVĪV offers exosome therapy, not stem cell therapy.
Regenerative biologic therapies support the body's natural tissue-restoration processes at the cellular level. Rather than suppressing symptoms with pharmaceuticals, these approaches introduce biologic signals — growth factors, cytokines, extracellular-matrix components — to support how the body responds to injury or degeneration.
A biologic allograft is a preparation derived from donated human tissue, processed according to FDA guidelines under HCT/P 361 criteria. REVĪV's biologic allografts are FDA-registered, contain growth factors and extracellular-matrix components, and are administered by ultrasound-guided physician injection.
Exosome therapies are not FDA-approved as drugs. They are investigational. REVĪV is transparent about this and will not represent a therapy as having FDA approval it does not have. The value lies in physician-guided evaluation, product quality, and precision delivery.
Physician-led means your evaluation, care plan, and therapy are supervised by a licensed physician — not a nurse practitioner, aesthetician, or sales coordinator. At REVĪV, every patient who undergoes therapy does so under a physician's direct evaluation and protocol.
Your consultation at REVĪV is a paid, one-on-one physician evaluation ($29–$99). The physician reviews your history, prior imaging, and functional goals. The outcome is a candid assessment of whether regenerative biologic care is appropriate for your case. It is an evaluation, not a sales appointment.
Most regenerative biologic therapies — including exosome therapy and biologic allograft injections — are not covered by standard health insurance. REVĪV is a concierge practice. Pricing is discussed openly during the consultation.
