Conditions
Conditions we support with regenerative & aesthetic medicine
At the Institute for Human Optimization in Hanover, Maryland, regenerative and aesthetic therapies are used to
address the root drivers of pain, tissue breakdown, and skin aging. We combine PRP, exosomes, ozone,
shockwave therapy, peptides, and advanced
skincare protocols to support repair, recovery, and visible results.
Joints & injury
Joint pain & osteoarthritis
Biologic therapies such as PRP, exosomes, and ozone are used to support cartilage health, calm inflammation, and improve mobility in knees, hips, shoulders, and other load-bearing joints.
Joints & injury
Tendonitis & sports injuries
Targeted regenerative injections and shockwave therapy may help support healing in tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues affected by overuse, athletic injuries, or chronic strain.
Joints & injury
Back, neck & soft tissue pain
For select spine-related and soft tissue pain patterns, regenerative medicine can be integrated alongside physical therapy and movement strategies to reduce pain and improve function.
Sexual health
Erectile dysfunction & sexual performance
Physician-directed protocols including shockwave therapy, PRP, peptides, and hormone optimization are designed to support blood flow, sensitivity, and erectile function.
Sexual regenerative care
Hair & skin
Hair thinning & hair loss
Scalp PRP and exosome-based treatments, combined with metabolic and hormonal evaluation, may help support healthier follicles and hair density over time.
Hair & skin
Skin quality, texture & fine lines
Microneedling with PRP or exosomes is used to support collagen production, improve texture and tone, and soften the appearance of fine lines for a healthier skin barrier.
Hair & skin
Acne & surgical scars
Regenerative skin protocols can help remodel scar tissue, smooth irregular texture, and improve overall skin appearance when combined with medical-grade skincare.
Hair & skin
Sun damage & pigmentation changes
Precision topical regimens, light-based therapies, and regenerative serums are used to address sun damage, uneven tone, and early photoaging in a medically supervised setting.
Recovery & resilience
Chronic inflammation & recovery
Ozone therapy, peptides, and lifestyle-based protocols are tailored to help reduce inflammatory burden, support mitochondrial function, and improve overall resilience.
Recovery & resilience
Fatigue & performance decline
When appropriate, regenerative and metabolic strategies are integrated to support energy, recovery, and performance for high-demand professionals and athletes.
Recovery & resilience
Post-procedure or post-injury healing
Regenerative support can be used strategically around surgeries or injuries to help support healing, scar quality, and functional outcomes.
Hair & skin
Personalized aesthetic optimization
For individuals seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation, we design aesthetic plans that honor facial structure, skin health, and long-term results rather than quick fixes.
