1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
✅ Best for: General rejuvenation, early signs of aging, acne scarring.
- Uses your own blood to deliver natural growth factors like PDGF, VEGF, and TGF-β.
- Stimulates collagen, improves texture, tone, and healing.
Pros: Autologous, safe, natural.
Cons: Results can vary based on patient’s health/platelet quality; more inflammatory than lab-formulated products.
Great for: Younger patients, first-time microneedling clients, or those wanting natural treatments.
2. AnteAGE MD Growth Factors
✅ Best for: Sensitive skin, rosacea-prone patients, general anti-aging.
- Contains lab-derived stem cell cytokines and anti-inflammatory growth factors.
- Targets redness, fine lines, dullness, and uneven tone without irritation.
Pros: Consistent, calming, no blood draw.
Cons: Milder than exosomes or PDRN in terms of regenerative power.
Great for: Clients who can’t do PRP, those with inflammation or redness, or as a maintenance microneedling treatment.
3. AnteAGE MD Exosomes
✅ Best for: Advanced aging, skin laxity, or poor healing response.
- Potent regenerative signaling particles that support cellular repair and collagen production.
- Boosts skin density, firmness, and elasticity.
Pros: Strong anti-aging effects, low inflammation, cutting-edge science.
Cons: Higher cost; ideal after skin has tolerated growth factors.
Great for: More mature clients, poor responders to PRP, or as an upgrade after a few growth factor treatments.
4. Rejuran PDRN (Salmon DNA-based) or VAMP PDRN Salmon DNA-based)
✅ Best for: Wrinkles, elasticity loss, inflammation reduction, and skin barrier repair.
- Contains polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) which help repair damaged DNA and regenerate skin at a cellular level
Pros: Improves hydration, texture, and elasticity; anti-inflammatory and reparative. Good for red or sensitive skin.
Cons: Slightly thicker; more costly; typically done in series
Great for: Delicate skin (under eyes, cheeks), post-acne or laser recovery, or patients needing collagen + skin barrier restoration.
