This innovative, cell-free topical serum is derived from the bioactive secretome—an ultra-concentrated blend of proteins, growth factors, exosomes, cytokines, and structural molecules taken from your own hair follicle stem cells.
The process begins with a simple in-office collection of around 50 hair follicles. These are sent to a state-of-the-art lab where the stem cells are cultured and cryopreserved. The resulting secretome is then freeze-dried into a shelf-stable format and rehydrated with hyaluronic acid. The serum is applied topically following treatments like microneedling or laser resurfacing, with additional product provided for at-home use over the next one to two weeks.
The benefits of this personalized serum are exceptional. Because it comes from your own biology, there is minimal risk of irritation or reaction. Clinical data shows it contains dozens of times more regenerative factors than traditional platelet-rich plasma, helping to speed up recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve hydration, firmness, tone, and skin texture. Patients report faster healing, reduced redness, and better overall post-treatment results.
Since establishing RefinedMD in 2012, Dr. Swengel has earned a reputation throughout the South Bay as one of the area’s top cosmetic and medical dermatologists. He is sought out for his expertise as a Mohs micrographic surgeon and laser treatment specialist, as well as his warm, attentive style of patient care.
