Why choose TPE?

TPE has been clinically recognized for its ability to support key systems that influence how we age and recover. Many patients describe a renewed sense of focus, stamina, and well-being following treatment. TPE benefits include:

  • Reduce chronic inflammation linked to fatigue, pain, and cognitive fog
  • Support longevity by maintaining healthy circulation and immune balance
  • Enhance recovery and performance
  • Boost cognitive and physical function
  • Complement other therapies for autoimmune, metabolic, and neurodegenerative conditions

Common questions about TPE

What does my result mean?

Your result reflects the quantity of microplastics detected in your bloodstream at the time of testing, serving as an indicator of your current circulating burden and exposure.

Are microplastics harmful?

Research is ongoing. Scientists are studying how they may contribute to inflammation and long-term health effects.

What does therapeutic plasma exchange cost?

How many treatments will I need?

Your provider will work with you to design a personalized treatment plan based on your condition and goals. Most patients benefit from a series of TPE sessions—results tend to build over time. Some complete an initial round, while others continue with maintenance sessions to sustain improvements. 

What should I expect after treatment?

On the day of your treatment, you should avoid strenuous activity and take it easy for the rest of the day. Most people can return to normal activities within 24 hours. Drink fluids, eat a balanced meal, and rest if you feel tired. Some providers recommend post-treatment lab work to track your progress — your care team will guide you.

Does insurance cover TPE?

Coverage varies by indication and insurance provider. Many patients receive TPE as a self-pay service through longevity or concierge programs. However, Circulate can provide a superbill upon request for patients who wish to submit for potential reimbursement through their insurance plan.
