( plated )® Skin Science in Charleston, SC

Your skin responds to the right signals. ( plated ) Skin Science is built on exactly that: platelet-derived regenerative science developed over two decades by Mayo Clinic researchers, delivered in a serum you use at home.

Advanced Skincare, Rigorously Selected

Every product at Ulm Plastic Surgery is held to the same standard as the surgery: evidence-based, peer-reviewed, and chosen because it genuinely works. Dr. Jason Ulm and Dr. Thomas Funcik built this practice on honest guidance and individualized care, and that applies to what we recommend for your skin between procedures. ( plated ) Skin Science earned its place here. To find out which serum fits your routine, schedule a consultation with our team today.

What Is ( plated ) Skin Science?

( plated ) Skin Science is a regenerative skincare line built on platelet-derived exosomes. It is the only topical skincare line using this specific technology, developed through more than 20 years of Mayo Clinic research. Developed through more than 20 years of research by Mayo Clinic physician-scientists and backed by more than 10 clinical studies, the line uses proprietary Renewosome Technology to harness the biological signaling capacity of platelets in a topical serum. Exosomes are nanosized vesicles that function as cellular messengers, carrying growth factors and anti-inflammatory signals that tell skin cells to repair and renew. ( plated ) isolates these signals from ethically sourced, FDA-regulated human platelet donations and stabilizes them in a shelf-stable formula, so the biology that makes platelets effective in clinical settings is now available in a bottle.

When can I expect to see results?

Clinical studies show visible improvements in wrinkles, redness, and brown spots in as little as six weeks. Results continue to build with consistent, long-term use.

How do I use ( plated ) serums?

Apply to clean, dry skin before the rest of your routine and allow the serum to fully absorb before layering anything else. Application protocol varies slightly by serum; the product packaging includes specific instructions for each.

Can I use ( plated ) before or after a procedure?

Yes. The CALM Serum is specifically formulated to support skin before and after cosmetic procedures. Our team can advise on timing and product selection based on where you are in your treatment plan.

Where are ( plated ) products made?

All serums are developed and manufactured in Rochester, Minnesota. Platelets are sourced exclusively from FDA-regulated donation banks in the United States, processed to isolate their exosomes, and tested for purity and consistency before use.

Can I use ( plated ) alongside retinol or vitamin C?

Yes. Apply ( plated ) first and allow it to fully absorb and dry before adding any other actives. This ensures the exosomes have unobstructed access to the skin before anything else is layered on top.

Does ( plated ) work for hair as well?

The HAIR Serum applies Renewosome Technology to the scalp, delivering growth factors that may support hair health and renewal. It functions independently from the skin serums and can be discussed during your consultation.

Is ( plated ) only for patients who have had procedures?

No. The serums are designed for anyone addressing visible aging, uneven tone, sensitivity, or dullness as part of a daily skincare routine. Procedure history is not a prerequisite.

Is the platelet extract in ( plated ) serums safe?

Yes. ( plated ) uses human platelet extract sourced from FDA-regulated blood banks, processed under controlled conditions to ensure purity. The formulas are fragrance-free and have been evaluated in multiple clinical studies for safety and efficacy.
