On April 22, 2026 Guidepoint Qsight released their new report, Regenerative Skincare in Medical Aesthetics: Growth, Adoption, and Patient Spend, analyzing revenue expansion, bundling behavior, distribution growth, and regional adoption trends associated with regenerative skincare treatments in U.S. aesthetic clinics.
The report comes as regenerative skincare — which they define as non-device, non-volumizing interventions, spanning both in-office treatments and take-home products, designed to enhance skin repair, cellular signaling, and overall tissue quality — is now a primary driver of revenue, retention and skin longevity outcomes for medical aesthetics clinics.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- On a year-over-year basis for calendar year 2025, regenerative skincare in aesthetic clinics, including topical regenerative skincare and offerings paired with procedures, grew approximately 20% on a same-store per-practice basis.
- Regenerative skincare sold directly to patients, such as serums or creams, accounted for a large portion of this growth. This category recorded 71% same-store sales growth year-over-year.
- Despite the faster growth of take-home regenerative topical skincare products, procedure-based regenerative treatments, including those incorporating biologics or with regenerative properties, such as PRP, exosomes, and PDRN, remain significantly larger, generating approximately 3.5x times the revenue of regenerative topical skincare products in calendar year 2025.
PATIENT AWARENESS AND ADOPTION SIGNALS
- 60% of aesthetic patients report awareness of exosomal therapies
- 54% report awareness of polynucleotide (PDRN) treatments
- 52% of surveyed patients report they would be likely to try exosomal therapies, indicating strong future demand potential

THE BUNDLING EFFECT: ADD-ON ECONOMICS IN SKIN PROCEDURES
Transaction-level analysis shows regenerative skincare applications are rarely purchased independently. Instead, they are most frequently bundled with skin-focused procedures. Procedures that incorporate a regenerative add-on command a meaningful pricing premium, with average transaction values approximately 100% higher for Mechanical Microneedling and 20% higher for RF Microneedling compared to procedures performed without a regenerative component.

Rather than replacing traditional skincare offerings, these solutions appear to enhance and extend existing treatment pathways, creating additional revenue opportunities and potentially supporting longer patient engagement cycles.
