FAQ

Stem cell therapy involves the use of stem cells to promote healing and regeneration in damaged tissues and organs. There are two main types of stem cells used in regenerative therapy: hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). HSCs primarily support immune function and blood cell production, while MSCs are involved in forming bone, cartilage, skin tissue, and more. Combining these two types of cells can enhance the overall effectiveness of the therapy

Combining HSCs and MSCs can accelerate the potential of MSCs by leveraging the regenerative capabilities of both cell types. This approach helps in creating a more comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both immune function and tissue regeneration, potentially leading to improved vitality, longevity, and anti-aging effects.

The expertise of the medical team is crucial as it directly impacts the safety, effectiveness, and overall success of the treatment. A qualified team with extensive education, specialized training, and a proven track record in stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine can provide the highest level of care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.

ITC Lab, with over 15 years of experience, is one of the few labs in Latin America to achieve ISO Class 6 and Class 5 Certification. This COFEPRIS-approved facility adheres to stringent sterility standards and protocols, ensuring the highest level of safety and efficacy in stem cell therapies. Their comprehensive quality control measures include cell viability testing, genomic stability monitoring, and microbial testing.

Cryopreservation is the process of storing stem cells at extremely low temperatures to maintain their viability for future use. This allows patients to have a reserve of their own stem cells, which can be used in future treatments, ensuring ongoing wellness and the potential for new therapies as they become available.

When choosing a stem cell therapy clinic, consider the facility’s accreditation and certifications, the expertise and qualifications of the medical team, and the clinic’s track record in stem cell therapies. It’s also important to ensure that the clinic follows strict sterility and quality control measures to guarantee the safety and efficacy of the treatments.

Not all patients are suitable for stem cell therapy. Factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and the specific medical issue being addressed can influence the effectiveness and safety of the treatment. A thorough evaluation by medical professionals is essential to determine whether a patient is a good candidate for stem cell therapy.

During stem cell therapy, patients undergo an initial consultation and health assessment to develop a personalized treatment plan. The harvesting of stem cells can involve techniques such as apheresis. After the treatment, patients might experience temporary side effects like fatigue or flu-like symptoms but can expect long-term benefits such as improved vitality, reduced pain, and enhanced overall well-being.

As with any medical treatment, stem cell therapy carries potential risks. These risks can include redness/tenderness at the injection site, flu-like symptoms, or mild immune reactions. It’s crucial to discuss these risks with your medical provider and ensure that the therapy is conducted in a facility with rigorous quality control measures to minimize these risks.

Staying informed about the latest research and advancements in stem cell therapy involves following reputable medical journals, attending relevant conferences, and consulting with medical professionals who specialize in regenerative medicine. Proactive Longevity also provides resources and updates to help patients stay informed about new developments in the field.

Proactive Longevity was founded by Dr. John Layke, Dr. Payman Danielpour, both celebrated plastic surgeons based in Beverly Hills, and Dr. Joseph Loewenbein, an anesthesiologist and medical director of Stitch Surgery Center. Their combined expertise ensures high-quality patient outcomes. Additionally, we collaborate with Dr. Adeel Khan, an internationally recognized regenerative medicine expert. We leverage partnerships with top medical professionals and labs to ensure you receive the best care and treatment available.
