A medical aesthetics clinic in Albuquerque offering laser, microneedling and injectable skin treatments, including a laboratory-made exosome product applied after procedures.
Sandia Skin and Face is a medical aesthetics clinic at 7009 Montgomery Boulevard Northeast in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The site describes a cosmetic practice rather than a clinic treating disease: its range covers facial treatments, botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, biostimulator injections, laser treatments and laser resurfacing, radiofrequency microneedling, brow and lash services, and weight-loss and wellness programmes. Its inclusion in a stem cell directory rests on a single part of that range, an exosome treatment for the skin.
The exosome product the site describes is a branded preparation it calls Ariessence Pure PDGF Plus, where PDGF stands for platelet derived growth factor. The site describes it as a premium laboratory-formulated exosome treatment delivering concentrated growth factor signals intended to support the skin's own repair processes, and notes that because it is laboratory made and standardised it does not require a blood draw from the patient, unlike platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood). It is applied topically or infused into the skin after a procedure that has created microchannels.
For a reader comparing stem cell providers the important point is what this is not. The site does not describe stem cell therapy, it does not inject cells, and it does not claim to treat any medical condition with cells. The exosome material is a manufactured cosmetic product applied to the skin surface, not an autologous (from the patient's own body) or allogeneic (from a donor) cell preparation. The site does not state what biological source material the exosomes are derived from, which is worth asking about; in the United States, exosome products are not approved for any use and the Food and Drug Administration has issued public warnings about clinics marketing them, so anyone considering this should go in with clear expectations.
The concerns named are cosmetic - skin texture, tone and radiance - and the site says results may be seen within two to four weeks with continued change over subsequent months, which is the clinic's own description rather than a demonstrated outcome. The exosome treatment is described as typically combined with radiofrequency microneedling, fractional laser resurfacing or similar procedures. No clinicians are named with credentials on the pages reviewed, no prices are published, and no founding year or languages are given. Telephone booking and an online scheduling portal are both offered.
The concerns named are cosmetic rather than medical.
The site describes a laboratory-formulated exosome and growth factor product applied to the skin, not a stem cell injection; no cells are given to the patient.
No clinicians are named with credentials on the pages reviewed.
The clinic occupies premises at 7009 Montgomery Boulevard Northeast in north-east Albuquerque. The site presents a medical spa setting where facial treatments, laser procedures, microneedling and injectable treatments are carried out, with appointments bookable by telephone or through an online portal. No laboratory, cleanroom or cell processing facility is described, which is consistent with a clinic using a bought-in manufactured product. No accreditation body is named.
The site does not publish prices for the exosome treatment or any other service, and states that pricing is discussed at a consultation where a treatment plan is drawn up. As cosmetic treatment this would not normally be covered by insurance, although the site does not address that.
