Medical-Grade Skincare Products
Cosmetic medical and surgical treatments can provide a huge number of potential benefits. Treatments like injectables, laser skin resurfacing, and microneedling can have a powerful impact on the skin. However, these aren’t the only options. There are certain medical-grade skincare products that are scientifically proven to deliver anti-aging and regenerative benefits. These can be applied to the surface of the skin – some are applied at home, while others are applied here in the office, allowing us to leverage technology to help the treatment penetrate more deeply into the skin.
Dr. Henderson is always watching the research, and selects only the best products to offer to her patients. Some of these products are only available here in our office, while others can be ordered online. On this page, we’d like to highlight the major product lines that Dr. Henderson believes offer the greatest benefit for patients. These are based on advances in scientific research, which have allowed the creation of highly effective treatments.
If you’re interested in learning more about any of these, or would like some advice about which ones would be the most likely to deliver the results that you’re looking for, we invite you to come in to our office. We’ll be happy to talk with you about what the research shows about these products, and recommend specific ones that can help you target the specific concerns that you have about your skin, hair, or nails.
DefenAge Pro
DefenAge was created based on a revolutionary discovery in the field of regenerative medicine. Two researchers made a discovery about defensins, which are peptides (tiny proteins) that help to control the immune system. They found that defensins also act to stimulate a healing response, which has powerful anti-aging effects on the skin.
This discovery led to the creation of a whole line of DefenAge products. These contain specific defensins, along with other substances that are scientifically proven to stimulate a healing response. There are products for the skin, hair, and nails, which are specifically formulated to provide regenerative and anti-aging effects.
This product line is only available in-person in our office. It’s so powerful that it’s only offered through plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other medical professionals. If you’re interested in learning more about DefenAge products, please come and visit us. We’ll be happy to tell you more about each product and what it’s good for, and can recommend specific products for any concerns you have about your skin.
Alastin
Alastin is an anti-aging skincare product line. Based on years of scientific research, it contains a variety of peptides and active botanical extracts. These allow the skin to replenish itself and clear out damage. They also stimulate the production of both collagen and elastin. Collagen provides structure to the skin, while elastin helps to keep the skin stretchy and prevent sagging. Together, these proteins have a very powerful anti-aging effect.

EXO|E
Exosomes are tiny particles created by cells to communicate with each other. They can have a powerful effect on other cells – in fact, this is believed to be the primary way that stem cells cause rejuvenation of tissues. They secrete growth factors and other healing substances in the form of exosomes. This is essentially biological nanoparticle technology.
EXO|E is a plant-based serum, which consists of botanically derived exosomes along with a number of other powerful substances derived from plants. This stimulates the healing response, which can help to boost the effects of almost any skin treatment. It also reduces inflammation, which is believed to be responsible for many of the visible effects of aging. In addition, EXO|E has been shown to increase the skin’s production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which creates a powerful anti-aging effect.
The treatment is applied to the skin in our office. It’s worked into the surface of the skin, using a variety of techniques to help enhance the penetration of the exosomes and other beneficial factors into the skin. EXO|E is often used before another type of skin treatment in order to boost the effects. There are also at-home treatments that are used both before and after the in-office treatment, which helps to achieve better and longer-lasting effects.
DE|RIVE
Both men and women commonly experience hair loss with aging (although the patterns of hair loss are different). Many younger people also find that their hair is thinner than they would like. DE|RIVE is an effective option for helping to nourish the hair follicles to help promote the growth of thicker, healthier hair.
Similarly to EXO|E, DE|RIVE is also based on plant-derived exosome technology. However, instead of the face, the treatment is applied to the scalps. The goal is to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to the hair follicles. This helps to prevent damage to the follicles, and to ensure that they receive the nutrients needed for healthy hair growth.
For best results, patients receive a series of in-office treatments – we generally recommend four treatments, spaced about a month apart, but some people may benefit from additional treatments. During these sessions, the exosome-containing serum is worked into the scalp, using ultrasound to help it penetrate deeply into the tissues. You’ll also receive a serum, which you’ll apply at home daily. This ensures that your hair follicles receive the nourishment that they need for healthy hair growth every day.
