Stem Cell Therapy

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cells can change into whatever your body needs — for example, skin and muscle cells if you suffer a deep cut. Stem cell therapy regenerative treatment promotes your body’s repair response. The cells or products made from stem cells help to heal and/or replace diseased, injured, or dysfunctional tissue.

When you’re young, your body is full of stem cells that help you grow and develop. However, their numbers decline with age. When you injure yourself in later life, your body might not deliver the optimal quantity of stem cells to the area, so tissues don’t fully heal.

Stem cell therapy extracts cells from your adipose (fatty) tissues or bone marrow, where you maintain reserves. After concentrating the cells, your Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation provider injects them into your damaged tissues, where they work with your body to boost healing.

What conditions can stem cell therapy treat?

Stem cell therapy could help with numerous health problems, including:

• Arthritis
• Tendinitis
• Tendinosis
• Ligament sprains
• Muscle and tendon strains
• Bursitis
• Back pain

Stem cell therapy may reduce the need for long-term pain medication and provide a natural alternative to surgery for many chronic musculoskeletal complaints. 

How can stem cells complement anti-aging treatments?

Stem cells can boost healing and tissue growth when combined with anti-aging treatments, producing enhanced results. The Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team offers stem cells as an addition to several popular aesthetic treatments, such as skin resurfacing and microneedling. 

These treatments create surface damage that triggers your body’s inbuilt healing processes. Applying stem cells to the treated skin further promotes and accelerates healing for exceptional outcomes.

What can I expect when I have stem cell therapy?

After determining that stem cell therapy suits you, the Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team prepares the injection. Extraction under a local anesthetic is the first step with autologous stem cell therapy (where the cells come from your adipose tissues or bone marrow).

Your provider separates the stem cells in a centrifuge (a machine that spins at extremely high speeds). When the sample is ready, they inject the cells into your damaged tissues. The Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team uses imaging technology to ensure accurate stem cell delivery.

You can carry on as usual after stem cell therapy. You won’t experience an immediate change because it takes a few weeks for the stem cells to repair your injured tissues. It can take several months to achieve optimal healing.
