What this page covers, who can buy from ExaVeyra, and what is supplied
QuestionAnswer
What this isHow to describe a new service accurately: what substantiation a claim needs, how the endorsement rules work, and consent for before-and-after photography.
Who can buyLicensed clinics and practitioners, after ExaVeyra verifies an active professional license and NPI and, for exosome material, a signed research-use acknowledgment.
What ships or is providedResearch-use exosome formats, 503A compounded peptides prepared to prescription by our 503A pharmacy partner, and PRP devices, through one verified account. A certificate of analysis is issued for every lot and provided on request.

Most of what a practice wants to say about a new service is sayable. Describing what a procedure involves, who performs it, what it costs, what the visit is like and what the published literature reports are all straightforward, and they carry a service line perfectly well.

The parts that need care are narrower than they are usually assumed to be, and they come down to three: what a claim needs behind it, how testimonials work, and what a before-and-after photograph is representing.

Describe the procedure, and the copy mostly writes itself

Factual description is the widest lane available and the least used. What is administered, how, by whom, over how many visits, with what downtime, at what price, is all verifiable from your own records.

Copy built this way tends to convert better anyway, because a prospective patient comparing two practices is usually trying to work out what actually happens rather than which one promises more.

Find the evidence first, then write the claim to match

The federal standard is substantiation: an advertiser should hold adequate support for a claim at the time it is made. The practical version is that if a sentence would need a study behind it, the study is found first and the sentence is written to match it.

That order matters commercially as much as legally. Writing the claim first and looking for support afterwards produces copy that has to be rewritten, usually after it has been printed.

Testimonials are permitted, with two conditions attached

Patient testimonials are usable. The federal endorsement rules ask two things of them: that the endorsement reflects the honest opinion of the person giving it, and that any material connection between that person and the practice is disclosed.

A material connection is broader than payment. Free or discounted treatment, staff relationships and anything of value all count, and disclosing them costs a line of copy.

The second condition is about typicality. An endorsement describing an unusual result implies that result is what a reader can expect, unless the copy says otherwise or the practice holds evidence that it is representative.

Treat a before-and-after photograph as a claim

A photograph pair says a result is achievable and, in context, that it is the sort of result this practice produces. That makes it a claim in image form, held to the same substantiation and typicality standards as a sentence would be.

  • Written consent from the patient, specific to the use, and separate from a treatment consent.
  • Consistent conditions between the two images: lighting, distance, angle and posture. Differences in these are doing work the treatment is being credited with.
  • Disclosure of any retouching, filter or post-processing applied to either image.
  • A record of the interval between the images and how many treatments occurred in it.
  • Whether the result shown is representative, and what the copy says if it is not.

Practices that keep the consent and the interval alongside the images find this straightforward. The difficulty is almost always retrospective, when a striking photograph exists and nobody recorded the conditions it was taken under.

Your state board sits on top of all of this

The rules above are the federal floor and they apply everywhere. State medical and pharmacy boards add their own requirements on professional advertising, and those vary in ways that matter, including on how a practice may describe a practitioner’s credentials.

Anything intended to run in more than one state is worth checking against the boards for each. That is a short conversation when the copy is drafted and a longer one afterwards.

What a well-supported service page looks like

Put together, the rules above describe a page that is straightforward to write: what the procedure involves, who performs it, what it costs, what the published literature reports, and testimonials carrying their disclosures.

That page can run in every state you operate in, it survives a board enquiry, and it gives a prospective patient the thing they were actually looking for. Supplier documentation supports the product half of it, and ExaVeyra releases that documentation to practices once NPI verification is complete.

Common questions

Can we use patient testimonials in our advertising?
Federally, yes, provided the endorsement is the honest opinion of the person giving it and any material connection to the practice is disclosed. A material connection includes free or discounted treatment, not only payment. Some state boards restrict testimonials further, so check the boards where the advertising will run.
What counts as substantiation for a claim?
Support adequate for the claim being made, held at the time it is made rather than assembled afterwards. The stronger the claim, the more it needs behind it. The practical test is whether the sentence would require a study to be true; if so, find the study first and write the sentence to match what it actually reports.
Do we need separate consent for before-and-after photographs?
Yes, and it should be specific to the use rather than folded into a treatment consent. A patient agreeing to a procedure has not agreed to appear in advertising, and the two decisions are made at different times for different reasons.
May we describe a compounded preparation as FDA approved?
No. Compounded preparations are not FDA approved and are not reviewed by FDA for safety or efficacy before reaching patients. Copy implying approval, or borrowing the credibility of an approved product, describes something other than what is being supplied.

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. There are no FDA-approved exosome products. Biomolecular signaling vesicle products distributed by ExaVeyra Sciences are supplied for topical aesthetic treatments in clinics and for medical, molecular biology, and biochemistry research applications, and are not tissue products as defined by FDA guidelines. Compounded medications are a separate product class: they are not FDA-approved finished drug products, they are prepared under section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act against a prescription for an individual patient, and they are prescription products rather than research-use-only material. ExaVeyra does not supply controlled substances.
