Dr. Cris Studio · 455 Madison Avenue, Spa Level, Midtown Manhattan · (212) 347-4708
Regenerative aesthetics is the heart of how I practice, because I believe the most beautiful results come from supporting your skin's own ability to repair and renew, rather than only covering the signs of aging. At Dr. Cris Studio Medspa NYC, I combine exosome therapy, PDRN skin boosters, biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse, and collagen-building technologies with a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, so that your skin looks healthier, firmer, and more luminous from the inside out. My boutique studio is on Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, and I see patients in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.

What Is Regenerative Aesthetics?
Regenerative aesthetics uses treatments that encourage the body's natural repair processes, such as collagen production, cell signaling, and tissue renewal. Where Botox relaxes muscles and fillers add volume, regenerative treatments work on the quality of the tissue itself, so results build gradually over weeks and months and tend to look entirely your own. It is a slower path, and for many of my patients in New York it is the most natural one, because the change comes from their own skin rather than from something placed on top of it.
Exosome Therapy in NYC
Exosomes are tiny vesicles that cells use to send signals to one another, carrying growth factors and other messengers that support repair. In aesthetics, exosomes are applied to the skin or scalp, most often during microneedling, to support the skin's natural renewal, which is why exosome therapy has become one of the most requested regenerative treatments in Manhattan.
Exosomes for the Face, Neck, and Skin
I pair microneedling with exosomes to support skin repair, texture, tone, and radiance on the face, neck, and décolleté. Patients usually choose it for dullness, fine lines, enlarged pores, early laxity, or acne scarring, and they often notice a glow within days, with deeper improvement in firmness and texture building over the following weeks. I write about what to realistically expect in Exosomes for Skin Regeneration NYC and How Long Do Exosome Results Last?
Exosome Hair Restoration
For thinning hair in women and men, exosome hair growth therapy supports scalp health and hair density without surgery. Most patients do best with a series of three sessions, and some temporary shedding can happen before new growth, which I explain in Why Hair Sheds Before It Grows and Exosome Hair Therapy: Results, Timeline, and Who It's For.
PDRN (Salmon DNA) Skin Boosters
PDRN, or polydeoxyribonucleotide, is a DNA fragment derived from salmon that supports tissue repair and hydration. I use it with microneedling with PDRN for patients who want smoother, more even, more luminous skin, the look often described as glass skin. You can read more in Microneedling with Salmon DNA.
Biostimulators: Sculptra and Radiesse
Sculptra and Radiesse are biostimulators, which means they encourage your body to rebuild its own collagen, restoring firmness and a gradual, natural lift to the face, neck, and body. For patients who want long-term collagen support, The Collagen Club combines Radiesse with exosome microneedling, and for the body I offer the BioCurve Protocol. I explain why patience is part of the result in Sculptra NYC.
Lift, Tightening, and Resurfacing
- HIFU Skin Tightening, which uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen beneath the skin for a firmer jawline, neck, and brow
- PDO Thread Lift, for immediate lift with continued collagen stimulation as the threads dissolve
- CO2 Fractional Laser, for resurfacing lines, texture, and sun damage while stimulating new collagen (see why preparation matters)
Whole-Body Support
What happens inside the body shows on the face, so for some patients I also look at hormonal balance through bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), and for those curious about more advanced options, a stem cell therapy consultation is a chance to explore whether regenerative options suit your goals.

Regenerative vs. Traditional Aesthetics
| Traditional (Botox, HA fillers) | Regenerative (exosomes, PDRN, biostimulators, lasers) | |
|---|---|---|
| Main goal | Relax lines or add volume | Improve the quality of skin and tissue |
| When you see results | Within days | Gradually, over weeks to months |
| How long results last | Months | Often longer, with maintenance |
| Ideal for | Specific lines or areas of volume loss | Overall firmness, texture, radiance, and prevention |
These approaches do not compete with each other. In my practice they work together, and a plan that combines both usually gives a natural overall result; you can see how I approach the other side on my dermal fillers and Botox and Dysport pages.

Meet Dr. Cris
I am Dr. Cris, founder of Dr. Cris Studio, and for more than 14 years I have dedicated my work to aesthetics, first in Rio de Janeiro, where I was born and trained, and now on Madison Avenue at the Lotte New York Palace, where I see every patient personally. My approach blends the Brazilian eye for proportion with a regenerative philosophy that treats the skin from the inside out, so that the women and men I care for leave looking rested, radiant, and unmistakably themselves. Read more about my background.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Cris Studio Medspa NYC
I am a US-licensed Registered Nurse and aesthetic nurse injector, with surgical training completed in Brazil in face and neck microsurgery, and I bring that anatomical precision to every regenerative plan I design. I look at the whole person, including skin, lifestyle, and hormonal health, a philosophy I write about in treating skin from the inside out. Every plan is personal, every treatment is performed by me, so you see the same clinician at every visit, and the goal is always the same: skin that looks healthy, rested, and naturally yours.
What to Expect
- Consultation: I assess your skin, facial structure, health history, and goals.
- Custom plan: I recommend the treatments and timing that make sense for you, often combining two or three approaches.
- Treatment: most sessions take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment.
- Results: improvement builds gradually over the following weeks and months as your skin renews.
- Maintenance: I build a long-term plan with you so results are supported, not left to fade.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Regenerative treatments are well suited to patients who are noticing dullness, changes in texture, thinning skin, thinning hair, or early laxity, and who prefer prevention and maintenance to dramatic correction. They are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infections, or with certain autoimmune conditions, and they are not the right choice if you want an immediate, dramatic change. I will always tell you honestly which approach fits your goals.
Regenerative Aesthetics and Exosome Therapy FAQ
What is the difference between exosomes, stem cells, and PDRN?
Exosomes are tiny vesicles that carry signaling molecules between cells, PDRN is a DNA fragment derived from salmon that supports tissue repair, and stem cell therapy explores the body's own regenerative capacity. I explain each in more depth in Stem Cells, Exosomes and PRF: What's the Difference?
Are exosomes safe?
When sourced from reputable, medical-grade suppliers and applied by a trained clinician, exosome treatments are generally well tolerated, with temporary redness being the most common effect after microneedling. Exosomes and PDRN are not FDA-approved for specific cosmetic claims, and I discuss this openly at every consultation so you can make an informed choice.
How many sessions will I need?
For skin, many patients start with a series of three microneedling sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart, then maintain once or twice a year. For hair, a series of three sessions is typical. Biostimulators usually need one to three sessions, depending on your goals.
How long do exosome results last?
Because exosome treatments support your own skin renewal, improvement can last many months, especially with maintenance and good skincare. I give a detailed answer for face, neck, and hair in How Long Do Exosome Results Last?
Exosomes or PRP: which is better for me?
Both aim to support repair, but PRP depends on your own blood and platelets, while exosomes deliver concentrated signaling molecules without a blood draw. I compare them in Exosomes vs PRP, and I recommend whichever suits your skin, goals, and budget.
Is there downtime?
It depends on the treatment. Microneedling usually means one to two days of redness, HIFU and biostimulators involve little to no downtime, and CO2 laser requires the most recovery, which I plan carefully with you in advance.
How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice a glow within days, but the real change builds over 6 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms, and it continues to improve with a maintenance plan.
