Adipose-derived stem cell therapy

If you are reading this, you may be wondering whether stem cell injections can relieve your chronic pain and/or what differences exist between adipose derived stem cells and other stem cells.

Adipose-derived stem cell therapy involves repairing damaged or injured tissues with stem cells derived from your own body’s adipose or fat tissues or liposuction aspirates.

While bone marrow can also be used as a source of stem cells, adipose (fat)-derived stem/stromal cells have been shown to have –

• the ability of collagen-producing cells to multiply and repair cartilage and soft tissue damage,
• immune phenotype, or sending cartilage cells to repair cartilage, and sending bone cells to repair bone.

In addition, adipose tissue possesses a large storehouse of stem cells. Research shows there can beas much as 500 - 1000 times as many mesenchymal stem cells in your fat tissue as compared to bone marrow.

Simply out, adipose stem cells are –

• an abundant source of stem cell
• have therapeutic applications in a variety of conditions and injurieswhere repair and regeneration of acute and chronically damaged tissues is required
• easy to retrieve in high quantity from either liposuction aspirates

Whole joint stem cell therapy treatment begins with collected fat stem cells. These stem cells can be collected from lipoaspirates that are obtained from the abdomen or love handle area in the body through a quick liposuction procedure. The liposuction is a v procedure that takes a few minutes. The whole time in the office is an estimated 60-90 minutes.

Research also supports that when Platelet Rich Plasma is used to augment fatstem cell treatments, the results are better.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is extracted from a simple blood draw from your body. The sample is centrifuged to obtain a concentrate of PRP and then injected into the affected area, in an outpatient procedure.

Stem cell therapy along with PRPcan be used to treat joint deterioration, as in osteoarthritis. The stem cells self-renew and repair and replace old/damaged cells. Injecting these cells directly into the damaged tissue allows the tissues to rebuild themselves, healing naturally and eliminating pain.

Like all other treatments and therapies, each person responds individually. In the initial visit, your doctor will evaluate your condition and share a reasonably accurate estimatehow many treatments may be needed to achieve the your goals.

To understand whether your condition or injury can be treated with adipose or fat derived stem cells, the first step is to consult an experienced stem cell therapy doctor. They can help you understand what is the right therapy for you and even create individualized solutions to help you.
