Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Therapy is still in its infancy and labeled "experimental". But no other technology today provides hope Stem cell therapy offers. The future will be bright when government agencies regulating stem cell use ease up and stakeholders in turn tow the line.

Stem Cell Therapy is not just for anti-aging.

Stem Cell Therapy is less controversial and safer today compared to how it was a few years ago.

Autologous Stem Cell Therapy (ASCT)

The use of the patient's own (autologous) stem cells for musculoskeletal disease and injuries and aesthetic procedures, has made stem cell therapy safe and acceptable. And less expensive.

There was a time when Stem Cell Therapy was:

• dangerous -- use of animal (sheep) stem cells may cause  hypersensitivity reactions, tissue rejection, and death
• unethical -- use of human embryonic stem cells
  
• expensive -  Php 1.5M or more
  
• and required several days 

Because of advances in stem cell research, today, stem cell therapy is:

• safe -- tissue rejection is not a problem because the stem cells come from the patient (autologous)
  
• ethical - no embryo killed
• less expensive and may cost less than one-third of what it used to
  
• done in less than a day

Stem Cell technology using the patient's own bone marrow and fat-derived stem cells is currently the trend worldwide. Stem Cell therapy is safe if the stem cells used are taken from the patient himself or herself (autologous).

For orthopedic (muscle, tendon, ligament, joint conditions), bone marrow and fat-derived stem cells are used.

For aesthetic procedures, the patient's own fat and fat-derived stem cells are used for facial contouring and skin rejuvenation.
