YouTube conversation (Ben Greenfield podcast) discussing unconventional beauty treatments and medical procedures — notably salmon sperm facials, microneedling/PRP/exosomes, Botox, and therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). The speakers clarify that TPE typically replaces plasma with albumin rather than young donor plasma and note regulatory limitations (e.g., Texas).
Two things I have besides this not talked about before on the podcast, salmon sperm and Botox. I think a lot of people are already aware of the idea of microneedling and facials, you know, getting exosomes or platelet rich plasma in your face. And when you told me about the salmon sperm, this was a totally new thing for me. I thought you were joking, but it sounds like you weren't actually joking.
TPE in general is removing plasma, and then when you exchange, you replace with albumin. Typically, TPE means that, okay, so you're.
Replacing with albumin, not with full young donor plasma, which you could only do.
In the state of Texas as of now.
Interesting. Okay, a lot of people think this is the same as therapeutic plasma exchange.
It's kind of under the same umbrella, but it's more specific to what you exchange with.
