Stem Cell Overview

This procedure is done for whole body anti-aging.

The stem cells have the ability to continuously divide and transform into different cells that the body needs for repair and regeneration to delay aging and to even repair damaged cells and regenerate sick cells or organs. The anti-aging effects are manifested in terms of increase in energy resulting in longer productive hours, increased mental alertness and comprehension and in some patients increase in sexual desire. Anti-aging is also seen in the improved quality of the skin color, radiance and texture. These anti-aging benefits sum up to better quality of life for the patient.

As a preparation, you need to fast or stop food and drinks and water at least 4 to 6 hours before the procedure.

The procedure is done in the operating room under sterile conditions. Local anesthesia with or without sedation by an anesthesiologist is used. 100cc of fats are suctioned out from the abdominal or tummy area as in liposuction and these are processed to extract the stem cells that are attached to the fats. All the fats are thrown away so there is no danger of fat embolism.

The stem cells are then activated using the growth factors released from the plasma of the your blood. Once activated, the stem cells are added to the intravenous fluid that has been running and infused to your vein in 30 minutes to 1 hour. The whole procedure takes 4 hours to finish.

You may remove the abdominal binder after 4 days and one or two sutures are removed after 7 days.

You may resume exercise, gym, and sport activities after 14 days.

The effect on your body starts to appear or be felt from 2 weeks to up to 11 months. If you have a disease condition or degenerative disease, it takes longer. In some patients, they submit themselves to another transplant to accelerated their improvement and experience more immediate quality of life. The transplant can be repeated upon patient's choice earliest one year after last transplant.
