About Stem Cell Therapy

Adult Stem Cells

What is Stem Cell Regenerative Therapy?
New research and clinical studies in the health and medical field have found the healing properties of stem cells can be widely used to treat many maladies.

Adult stem cell therapy is a new procedure for patients that want to treat signs of aging and many chronic conditions. We do the procedure by using adult stem cells harvested from the patients (your own) body fat. Some offices use bone marrow, which is best suited for blood cancers, and is a moderately painful extraction process.

We sometimes refer to a patients fat as "liquid gold" as you will learn it is the building blocks of new cells and adaptable to treat many pain producing conditions. The most abundant source of mesenchymal stem cells in your body are found in your fat tissue. Now with fat harvesting, we have the ability to repair damaged tissue while increasing new blood vessel growth and circulation which decreases inflammation.

About Stem Cell Injections
Stem Cell Injections actually address the underlying cause of the chronic condition or signs of aging and rebuilds the cells to healthy new tissue. By using your own fat cells, which harbor stem cells, we are able to apply your own bodies natural regenerative and healing potential with no chance or rejection.

Umbilical Cord Stem Cells

The major advantages of umbilical cord blood stem cells are that it is a match for all blood types and cord cells are non-dna specific. Since umbilical cord cells are cryogenically preserved and stored, it is readily available for purchase. These cells are a preferred option for IV injections and can also be used for joint injections for those who do not have ample fat to harvest or prefer not to have micro-lipo, both fat derived and cord derived stem cells rejuvenate and restore your health and mobility.

About Stem Cells Therapy

Adult Stem Cell Regenerative Therapy is our most common form of Stem Cell Treatment and done by harvesting stem cells from the patients (your) own fat and then separated and injected in the area of the body being treated.. The procedure is done in our private certified operating room by Dr. Merkel, a board certified plastic surgeon, with decades of experience with injections.

Although the steps may vary slightly depending on what condition is being treated, the procedure involves three basic steps:

First, we collect the cells via liposuction using a special fat harvesting technique, which gently removes small adipose (fat) tissue with local anesthesia. Then, we collectively remove the stem and regenerative cells in preparation for injecting them into the targeted painful joint and/or aged face depending on the individualized treatment goals. With joint injections you can resume normal activity immediately. With facial injections patients can anticipate a week of tissue recovery. Both procedures are usually pain-free.

We find some patients see results within days but we know that over time the new cells grow and improvement of the area is most noticeable 6-12 weeks after injection.
