Medical-Grade Skincare, Backed by Science
Real results, medically supervised; from the same team that's redefining wellness on Long Island. Our medical-grade skincare services combine SkinPen® microneedling and Plated PRP hair restoration with the clinical oversight of a board-certified nurse practitioner, so every treatment is personalized, safe, and built to last.
Skincare That Goes Deeper Than a Spa Facial
At Rock Star Recovery & Wellness, medical-grade skincare means treatments that are clinically designed, provider-supervised, and built around your skin's actual needs, not a one-size-fits-all facial. Every plan starts with a consultation with our nurse practitioner-led team, so your skincare is treated with the same medical rigor as the rest of your wellness care.
Our medical-grade skincare line currently includes:
SkinPen® Microneedling (by Revance): an in-office, collagen-stimulating treatment for texture, tone, scarring, and fine lines
( plated ) HAIR Serum: a topical, platelet-derived exosome serum developed by Mayo Clinic physician-scientists to support fuller, healthier-looking hair
( plated ) Skincare Serums: exosome-powered serums for daily use, targeting fine lines, texture, and overall skin renewal
SkinPen® Microneedling by Revance
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body's natural collagen and elastin production. At Rock Star Recovery & Wellness, we use SkinPen by Revance to treat fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and dullness, with results that build over a series of sessions as your skin naturally renews itself.
How It Works
During your SkinPen treatment, our provider uses a precision device with fine, sterile needles to create microscopic channels in the skin's surface. This signals your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for smooth, firm, youthful-looking skin. Because it works with your body's own healing response, results look natural and continue to improve for weeks after treatment.
What SkinPen Can Help With
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Acne scars and surgical scars
Uneven skin tone and texture
Overall skin rejuvenation and glow
Why SkinPen at Rock Star Recovery & Wellness
Unlike med spa memberships run by aestheticians alone, your SkinPen treatment here is overseen by a board-certified nurse practitioner with 25+ years of clinical experience. That means your treatment plan accounts for your full health picture, not just your skin.
( plated ) HAIR Serum
( plated ) HAIR Serum is a topical, at-home treatment that uses platelet-derived exosomes, nanosized vesicles naturally rich in growth factors, to support scalp health and fuller-looking hair over time. It's applied directly to the scalp, requires no needles or downtime, and was developed by Mayo Clinic physician-scientists using more than 20 years of exosome research.
How It Works
Exosomes are microscopic vesicles derived from platelets, under 150 nanometers, or roughly 500 times smaller than a skin pore, which allows them to absorb efficiently into the scalp and hair follicles. Each bottle of ( plated ) HAIR Serum delivers over 2 trillion of these exosomes, along with biotin, turmeric root extract, hyaluronic acid, and a proprietary antioxidant blend, to support the scalp environment your hair needs to grow fuller and stronger.
Who It's For
Anyone noticing early thinning or wanting fuller-looking hair
Clients experiencing hair shedding related to rapid weight loss or GLP-1 medications
Clients who want a non-invasive, at-home alternative to injections or in-office procedures
All genders, ages, and hair types
Results, Backed by Clinical Data In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of ( plated ) HAIR Serum:
100% of participants showed improved scalp coverage appearance
96% reported improved volume and fullness
Hair density appearance improved 3x
Zero reported side effects or downtime
Most users notice initial changes within 1–3 months, with fuller, thicker-looking hair typically visible by month 6 with consistent use.
Why ( plated ) at Rock Star Recovery & Wellness We only carry products where the science holds up.
( plated ) is the #1 dermatologist-recommended exosome brand, sourced from FDA-regulated U.S. donation banks and processed with a proprietary technology that preserves exosome integrity without refrigeration. Paired with guidance from our nurse practitioner-led team, it's hair restoration built on real research, not trends.
Already in Our Medical Weight Loss Program? If you're seeing more shedding since starting your GLP-1 program, it's worth mentioning at your next visit, Nicole can review your labs, nutrition, and pace of weight loss, and build a plan that may include ( plated ) HAIR Serum as extra support. Because your weight loss and your skincare are managed by the same clinical team, nothing falls through the cracks.
( plated ) Skincare Serums Section
( plated ) skincare serums use the same platelet-derived exosome technology as the brand's HAIR Serum, formulated for daily use to support smoother texture, improved tone, and visible skin renewal. They're available through Rock Star Recovery & Wellness as part of a provider-guided skincare regimen.
INTENSE — the brand's most concentrated formula, designed for visible anti-aging results
DAILY — a daily-use maintenance serum to support long-term skin health
EYE — targets fine lines, puffiness, and under-eye concerns
BODY — supports smoother, firmer-looking skin beyond the face
Why Exosome Skincare
Exosomes absorb deeply into the skin's surface, delivering naturally occurring proteins and antioxidants that support the skin's own renewal process, without harsh actives or downtime. Most clients see visible results within 6 weeks, with continued improvement over time.
Why ( plated ) at Rock Star Recovery & Wellness As a provider partner, we're able to guide clients to the right ( plated ) products for their specific skin goals, not a generic routine off a shelf. It's the same personalized, medically-informed approach behind everything we offer.
