Unlike the flat X-ray images displaying mainly the bone, an MRI scan provides a 3D image of bone and soft tissues. In the case of injury, both the bone and the soft tissue need to be examined and, if necessary, treated in order to achieve optimal results from regenerative treatment.

Yes! We treat patients from all around the world. Note that treatment cannot be done without prior consultation, which is arranged once we have received all required documents.

Our Same day stem cell protocol is called a same day procedure because stem cells are harvested and re-injected on the same day. However, for many patients a series of injections occurring over a week is necessary, depending on your unique condition.

Injections include a pre-injection, stem cell extraction and re-injection, followed by a post-injection of a multiple proprietary platelet mix a few days later.

Concentrated PRP is an advanced form of PRP injections, costing less then stem cell procedures and commonly used in less severe orthopedic conditions. The concentrated blood platelet injection contains healing growth components that increase the body’s natural ability to repair itself.

Most of the time, such procedures (with exception of spine treatments) are performed on 3 separate days, spread out over the course of a week.

Such procedures (including spine treatments) are usually completed within a single day.

We designed the Suplex Stem Cell Support Formula to maintain and support normal stem cell function. It is the only nutritional supplement in the world to be developed through in-vitro testing with real human mesenchymal stem cells.

To reach the best results, we recommend take the supplements at least 1 month prior the treatment and 6 months after.

We highly advise you to acquire a heating pad, as it gives relief of minor aches and pains in muscles, joints, tendons and tissues. A heating pad helps provide for an improved range and freedom of motion due to muscle relaxation and minor pain relief. It also aids in relaxing muscles and provides an increase in local blood circulation, helping to keep your cells viable after they have been injected.

A Heating pad should be used for at least 6 weeks post-treatment then as needed afterwards.
You can purchase one in our clinic.
