Frequently Asked Questions

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses the body's natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into many different cell types, making them powerful tools for treating various medical conditions.

How do stem cells work?

Stem cells work by differentiating into the specific cell types needed for repair, releasing growth factors that promote healing, and modulating the immune system to reduce inflammation. When injected into damaged areas, they can help regenerate healthy tissue and improve function.

What types of stem cells do you use?

We primarily use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adipose tissue (fat) and bone marrow. These adult stem cells are safe, effective, and can be harvested from the patient's own body, eliminating the risk of rejection. We also use umbilical cord-derived stem cells in certain cases.

Is stem cell therapy safe?

When performed by qualified medical professionals using proper protocols, stem cell therapy is generally very safe. Since we often use the patient's own cells, the risk of rejection or adverse reactions is minimal. Our medical team follows strict safety protocols and international standards.

What conditions can be treated with stem cell therapy?

We treat a wide range of conditions including:

• • Arthritis and joint pain
• • Diabetes and metabolic disorders
• • COPD and respiratory conditions
• • Neurological conditions (Parkinson's, stroke, MS)
• • Heart conditions
• • Spinal cord and brain injuries
• • And many other degenerative conditions

How long does the treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on the condition and protocol. Most procedures take 2-4 hours, including preparation time. Some patients may require multiple sessions over several days. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

When will I see results?

Results vary by individual and condition. Some patients notice improvements within days or weeks, while others may see gradual improvement over 3-6 months. The regenerative process continues for months after treatment as new tissue develops.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are typically minimal and temporary. Some patients may experience mild soreness at the injection site, temporary fatigue, or minor swelling. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by qualified professionals.

How much does stem cell therapy cost?

Treatment costs vary depending on the condition, number of sessions required, and specific protocol. Our treatments typically cost 50-70% less than similar procedures in the US while maintaining the same quality standards. Contact us for a personalized quote.

Is treatment covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans do not currently cover stem cell therapy as it's considered experimental for many conditions. However, we offer flexible payment options and can provide documentation for potential reimbursement. Some patients use HSA or FSA funds.

Do you help with travel arrangements?

Yes! We provide comprehensive support including assistance with travel planning, accommodation recommendations, airport transfers, and coordination with local services. Our patient coordinators will help make your medical journey as smooth as possible.

How long do I need to stay in Mexico?

Most patients stay 3-7 days depending on their treatment protocol. This includes initial consultation, treatment, and brief recovery period. Some complex cases may require longer stays. We'll provide a detailed itinerary during your consultation.

Am I a candidate for stem cell therapy?

Most patients with degenerative conditions, chronic pain, or autoimmune disorders may be candidates. The best way to determine eligibility is through a comprehensive medical evaluation. We offer free consultations to assess your specific situation.

What medical records do I need to bring?

Please bring recent medical records, imaging studies (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans), lab results, current medication list, and any relevant specialist reports. Our team will review these during your consultation to develop the best treatment plan.

Are there age restrictions?

There are no strict age limits for stem cell therapy. We treat patients from children to seniors, with protocols adjusted based on age, health status, and specific condition. Each case is evaluated individually to ensure safety and effectiveness.
