In simple terms

ECM is a supportive gel made from natural structural proteins. Think of it as a cushion and cover that helps your own tissue organize and calm irritation.

How it’s administered

• Performed in‑office by a licensed provider
• Targeted placement into soft tissue (not into the spinal canal)
• Local comfort measures are used; brief soreness is common for 24–72 hours

Good candidates may include

• Localized soft‑tissue irritation around tendons/ligaments
• Areas that benefit from cushioning or a protective cover
• Patients seeking a minimally invasive option after conservative care

What a visit is like

• Assessment → prep → targeted placement (minutes) → brief observation
• Light activity the same day; modified activity for 2–3 days if advised

Where this is used (examples)

• Musculoskeletal support: adjunctive cushioning/covering at soft‑tissue interfaces (e.g., around tendons/ligaments) under a provider’s direction.
• Spine/paraspinal soft tissue: supportive placement near symptomatic soft tissues, per clinical evaluation.
• Post‑procedure soft‑tissue support: covering/cushioning of tissue surfaces as appropriate for homologous use.
• Dermal/soft‑tissue covering: providing a protective ECM scaffold where indicated.

Patient‑focused notes

• Goal: provide a supportive environment for your own tissue to organize and calm irritation.
• Visit feel: typically an in‑office procedure with local comfort measures; brief soreness can occur.
• Follow‑up: activity modifications may be advised for a few days; your plan is individualized.

• Those wanting a non‑surgical adjunct to their aesthetic procedures

What a visit is like

• Procedure (e.g., microneedling) → topical application → after‑care instructions
• Return to routine skincare as directed by your provider

Where this is used (examples)

• Post‑procedure skin care: adjunct after microneedling, laser, dermabrasion on intact skin.
• Tone/texture support: professional topical step to support appearance during recovery.
• Scalp aesthetics: applied with professional scalp protocols on intact skin.

Patient‑focused notes

• Goal: cosmetic adjunct to support the look and feel of skin during professional care.
