About Stem Cell Therapy
What exactly are stem cells and how do they work?
Stem cells are your body’s master cells. They can develop into many different cell types—from muscle cells to brain cells. Think of them as your body’s repair kit.

The Treatment Process
What happens during a stem cell treatment?
The process typically involves:
Medical evaluation – Your health history and tests
Cell preparation – Either extracting your cells or preparing donor cells
Injection – Cells delivered through IV or directly to the affected area
Recovery – Usually same-day discharge with minimal downtime
The entire process may take 2-4 hours. Some clinics spread it over multiple days.
