Regenerative Medicine: Our Procedure
The Newport Beach Stem Cell Treatment Center uses autologous adult stem cells to provide care for patients suffering from chronic conditions that may be treated with adult stem cell-based regenerative treatment. Our regenerative medicine procedure involves initial screening by one of our physicians. Once a patient is deemed to be an appropriate candidate, the procedure itself is performed by our board-certified surgeon, assisted by a team of experienced registered nurses and technicians. The entire process from start to finish takes about three hours. It is relatively painless, and recovery time is minimal.
Local Anesthesia and Fat Harvesting
The stem cells are derived from the patient’s own fat, which is harvested during mini-liposuction. Performed in our sterile treatment facility under local anesthesia, specially designed equipment is used to remove several ounces of fat, usually from the abdominal area. This part of our procedure lasts approximately 20 minutes.
Cell Preparation
After harvesting the fat, the next step is to isolate the stem cells by separating them from the fat cells. Our procedure, which involves a sterile “closed system” technology (so cells never come into contact with the outside environment), yields extremely high numbers of viable stem cells.
Deployment Into the Body
The stem cells are then deployed, or returned, back into the patient’s body using minimally invasive methods. Depending on the condition, stem cells may be infused into veins or injected subcutaneously or directly into joints or other areas. In the right environment, these stem cells can differentiate, or change, into bone, cartilage, muscle, fat, collagen, nerves, blood vessels, and other tissue types. Because these are the patient’s own cells, there is no risk of rejection.
