Frequently Asked Questions

Stem cells are unique cells in your body with the remarkable ability to develop into many different cell types. They serve as an internal repair system, dividing to replenish other cells throughout your life.

What makes stem cells special is their ability to either remain as stem cells (self-renewal) or differentiate into specialized cells like muscle cells, blood cells, or brain cells. This unique property makes them invaluable for regenerative medicine.

Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs) are a type of adult stem cell harvested from the Wharton's jelly of donated umbilical cords after healthy births. These cells have tremendous therapeutic potential due to their:

• High proliferation rate: They multiply more rapidly than stem cells from other sources
• Low immunogenicity: They rarely cause immune rejection reactions
• Potent anti-inflammatory properties: They help calm chronic inflammation throughout the body
• Ethical sourcing: No embryos are harmed; cells come from tissue that would otherwise be discarded

UC-MSCs are considered superior to bone marrow or adipose-derived stem cells for many applications because of their youthful vitality and regenerative potential.

UC-MSCs offer several advantages over stem cells from other sources:

• Younger, more potent cells: Unlike bone marrow stem cells that age with the donor, UC-MSCs are "newborn" cells with maximum regenerative capacity
• No invasive harvesting: No painful bone marrow extraction or liposuction required from the patient
• Immediate availability: Pre-screened and ready for use without waiting for patient cell processing
• Consistent quality: Laboratory-controlled processing ensures standardized cell counts and viability
• Lower rejection risk: UC-MSCs express fewer surface markers that trigger immune responses

Our stem cells are sourced from umbilical cords donated by healthy U.S. mothers after full-term, uncomplicated births. All donors undergo rigorous screening for infectious diseases, genetic conditions, and medical history.

The cells are processed in an FDA-registered and AABB-accredited laboratory in the United States, ensuring the highest standards of safety, sterility, and quality control.

Regenecell uses clinical-grade UC-MSCs that meet the highest quality standards:

• Minimally manipulated: Cells retain their natural healing properties without chemical alteration
• mRNA screening: Every batch undergoes genetic testing to ensure cellular integrity
• 98.5% purity: Advanced processing eliminates red blood cells and debris
• Verified cell counts: You receive the exact number of viable cells promised
• Closed-system processing: Prevents contamination throughout handling
• Third-party testing: Independent verification of sterility and potency

Many clinics use "stem cell" products that contain few actual stem cells or use cells of questionable origin. We provide documentation of cell counts and viability for every treatment.

UC-MSC therapy has demonstrated an excellent safety profile in numerous clinical studies worldwide. The treatment is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects.

Common temporary effects may include:

• Mild fatigue for 24-48 hours
• Slight soreness at injection sites
• Occasional low-grade fever (rare)

Serious adverse events are extremely rare when using properly sourced and processed cells. Our meticulous quality control, sterile procedures, and experienced medical team ensure the highest safety standards.

UC-MSCs have very low immunogenicity, meaning they rarely trigger immune rejection. This is one of their key advantages over other cell types.

The cells lack the surface markers (HLA Class II antigens) that typically cause the immune system to attack foreign tissue. Additionally, UC-MSCs actively modulate immune responses, often calming overactive immunity rather than provoking it.

While individual responses can vary, rejection reactions are extremely uncommon with properly processed UC-MSCs.

The administration method depends on your specific condition and treatment goals:

• Intravenous (IV): Cells delivered directly into the bloodstream for systemic conditions
• Intra-articular: Injection directly into joints for arthritis and joint injuries
• Intramuscular: Injection into muscles for localized healing
• Intrathecal: Injection into spinal fluid for neurological conditions
• Intradiscal: Injection into spinal discs for back pain and disc degeneration
• Subcutaneous: Injection under the skin for aesthetic treatments

Many patients receive a combination of delivery methods for optimal results.

Dosages are personalized based on your condition, body weight, and treatment goals. Typical treatments range from 40 million to 300+ million cells.

During your consultation, our medical team will recommend the optimal cell count for your specific situation. Higher cell counts are often used for more severe or systemic conditions, while targeted injections may use lower but concentrated doses.

Our streamlined process is designed for your convenience:

• 1. Free Consultation: Speak with our medical team to discuss your condition and determine if you're a candidate
• 2. Medical Review: Complete intake forms and provide medical records for our physicians to review
• 3. Treatment Planning: Receive a personalized treatment protocol with recommended cell counts and delivery methods
• 4. Schedule Treatment: Book your treatment date with our patient coordinator
• 5. Treatment Day: Arrive at our clinic for your procedure, typically lasting 1-3 hours depending on complexity
• 6. Follow-Up: Receive post-treatment guidance and ongoing support from our team

The best way to determine your candidacy is through a free consultation with our medical team. Generally, good candidates are those who:

• Have a condition that may respond to regenerative therapy
• Have not found adequate relief from conventional treatments
• Are looking for alternatives to surgery or long-term medication
• Are in stable overall health

Certain conditions may affect eligibility, which is why we evaluate each patient individually. Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific situation.

Results vary by individual and condition, but most patients experience a typical timeline:

• 1-4 weeks: Initial improvements in energy, sleep, or reduced inflammation
• 1-3 months: More noticeable improvements in symptoms and function
• 3-6 months: Significant, measurable changes as tissue regeneration progresses
• 6-12 months: Continued improvement and stabilization of results

Some patients notice improvement within days, while others see gradual changes over several months. Regenerative healing is a process that continues long after treatment.

Many patients experience benefits lasting several years. The duration depends on factors including:

• The condition being treated
• Severity of the condition at treatment
• Overall health and lifestyle factors
• Whether the underlying cause is progressive

Some patients choose periodic "booster" treatments to maintain or enhance their results, while others enjoy lasting improvement from a single treatment course.

Yes, stem cell therapy has shown promising results for age-related concerns. UC-MSCs may help:

• Reduce systemic inflammation associated with aging
• Improve energy levels and reduce fatigue
• Enhance cognitive function and mental clarity
• Support skin vitality and collagen production
• Promote overall cellular rejuvenation

Many patients report feeling more energetic, thinking more clearly, and noticing improvements in skin quality following treatment.
