What Are Mesenchymal Stem Cells?

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are powerful regenerative cells found in your bone marrow, adipose (fat) tissue, and other sources. Unlike embryonic stem cells, MSCs are adult stem cells that can:

• Differentiate into multiple cell types — bone, cartilage, fat, and connective tissue
• Secrete growth factors — proteins that signal your body to repair and regenerate
• Modulate immune response — reduce inflammation and support healing
• Home to injured areas — naturally migrate to sites of damage or inflammation

At Innovations Stem Cell Center, we specialize in using autologous MSCs (your own cells) for anti-aging, longevity, and regenerative wellness—not just orthopedic conditions.

Why Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Ideal for Anti-Aging

As you age, your body’s natural stem cell population declines by 10,000-fold from birth to age 50. This cellular decline causes:

🧬 Cellular Aging

Reduced ability to repair and regenerate tissues

⚡ Energy Decline

Mitochondrial dysfunction and fatigue

🛡️ Immune Weakness

Increased inflammation and slower healing

MSC therapy replenishes your body’s regenerative capacity by introducing concentrated, potent stem cells that:

• Restore cellular function and energy production
• Reduce chronic inflammation (a root cause of aging)
• Support immune system optimization
• Improve skin quality and elasticity from within
• Enhance overall vitality and healthspan

Key Difference: While many clinics use MSCs for joint pain and sports injuries, Innovations Stem Cell Center specializes in MSC therapy for cellular rejuvenation, anti-aging, and longevity—treating the root causes of aging at the cellular level.

Why We Use Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

At Innovations Stem Cell Center, we exclusively use adipose-derived (fat tissue) MSCs—and the reason comes down to simple math: cell quantity.

MSC Yield Comparison

Adipose-Derived MSCs
(What we use)
100 MILLION CELLS
Bone Marrow MSCs
(Requires expansion abroad)
100,000 cells
Umbilical Cord MSCs
(Lab-grown, limited potency)
500,000 cells

🔬 The Cell Quantity Advantage

Adipose tissue provides 100 million mesenchymal stem cells from a single sample—that’s 1,000X more cells than bone marrow and 200X more than umbilical cord sources.

This isn’t a small difference. It’s the difference between:

• ✅ Therapeutic efficacy vs. insufficient cell counts
• ✅ Same-day treatment vs. waiting for lab expansion (illegal in the USA)
• ✅ Your own cells vs. foreign cells with rejection risk

Why Other Clinics Use Bone Marrow or Cord Cells

❌ Bone Marrow MSCs

The problem: Only yields ~100,000 cells per aspiration—far too few for therapeutic effect.

What clinics do: Send cells to labs outside the USA for expansion (cell culturing to multiply count). This process:

• Takes 4-6 weeks (cells age during expansion)
• Violates FDA same-day procedure guidelines
• Reduces cell potency through repeated cell divisions
• Costs significantly more

Why we don’t: With adipose tissue, we get 100 million cells naturally—no expansion needed, no FDA concerns, maximum potency.

❌ Umbilical Cord MSCs

The problem: ~500,000 cells per dose—5X better than bone marrow but still 200X less than adipose.

Additional concerns:

• Immune rejection risk: Cord cells are allogeneic (not your own), can trigger immune response
• Lab-grown: Cultured/expanded cells have reduced potency vs. fresh cells
• Insufficient quantity: 500,000 cells isn’t therapeutic for systemic anti-aging
• Marketing hype: “Young cells” sounds appealing but quantity matters more than age

Why we don’t: Your own fresh adipose MSCs (100 million) are far more effective than foreign cord cells (500,000).

The Adipose-Derived MSC Advantage

🔢 Massive Cell Count

100 million MSCs per sample—1,000X more than bone marrow, 200X more than cord blood. This is the therapeutic threshold for systemic regeneration.

⚡ Same-Day Procedure

Harvesting, processing, and administration completed in one visit. No waiting for lab expansion, no sending cells overseas. FDA-compliant same-day treatment.

🛡️ Zero Rejection Risk

Autologous (your own) cells mean no immune reaction, no allergic response. Unlike cord blood (allogeneic), your body recognizes these cells as “self.”

💪 Maximum Potency

Fresh, minimally manipulated cells retain full regenerative capacity. No repeated cell divisions (expansion) that reduce potency. Used within hours of harvest.

😌 Minimally Invasive

Mini-liposuction under local anesthesia (30-45 minutes). Far less invasive than bone marrow aspiration. Most patients describe mild pressure, not pain.

💰 Cost-Effective

No expensive lab expansion fees. No international shipping. Single procedure captures maximum cells at lower cost than multi-step bone marrow protocols.

⚠️ Why “More is More” with Stem Cells

Studies show therapeutic effects require a minimum threshold of stem cells. Below this threshold, you won’t see systemic benefits—just expensive placebo.

For systemic anti-aging and regeneration:

• Bone marrow: 100,000 cells = Below therapeutic threshold
• Cord blood: 500,000 cells = Borderline, usually insufficient
• Adipose tissue: 100 million cells = Therapeutic range for systemic effects

This is why clinics outside the USA expand bone marrow cells in labs—because 100,000 isn’t enough. But expansion takes weeks, reduces potency, and violates FDA guidelines. Adipose tissue solves this problem naturally.

Why Most Stem Cell Clinics Can’t Offer What We Do

If you’ve researched stem cell therapy, you’ve likely seen clinics advertising bone marrow or umbilical cord MSCs. Here’s what they’re not telling you:

What Clinics Say

“Bone marrow stem cells are the gold standard”

The Reality

Bone marrow yields only 100,000 cells—1,000X less than adipose. They need to expand cells in labs (illegal in USA) or send overseas. You’re paying premium prices for insufficient cell counts.

What Clinics Say

“Umbilical cord cells are younger and more potent”

The Reality

Cord cells provide 500,000 cells—still 200X less than adipose. They’re allogeneic (foreign), carry immune rejection risk, and are lab-grown (reduced potency). “Young” doesn’t matter if quantity is insufficient.

What Clinics Say

“We expand your cells for maximum benefit”

The Reality

Cell expansion (culturing) takes 4-6 weeks, violates FDA same-day guidelines, and reduces cell potency through repeated divisions. It’s what clinics do when they can’t harvest enough cells initially. With adipose tissue, we get 100 million cells fresh—no expansion needed.

Why Innovations Stem Cell Center Is Different

We built our practice around adipose-derived MSCs specifically because the science is clear: cell quantity determines therapeutic effect.

• ✅ 100 million cells per treatment (therapeutic threshold for systemic anti-aging)
• ✅ Same-day procedure (FDA-compliant, no lab expansion)
• ✅ Your own cells (zero rejection risk, maximum compatibility)
• ✅ Fresh, potent cells (used within hours, not weeks)
• ✅ Proven results (18+ years experience, thousands of procedures)

We don’t use bone marrow because it’s insufficient. We don’t use cord blood because it’s foreign. We use what works: high-count, autologous, adipose-derived MSCs.

Cost Per Million Stem Cells: The Real Value

Clinic Type	Total Cost	Cell Count	Cost Per Million Cells
Innovations (Adipose)	$12,500	100 million	$125
Bone Marrow Clinic	$20,000	100,000 (0.1 million)	$200,000
Cord Blood Clinic	$10,000	500,000 (0.5 million)	$20,000
Overseas Expansion	$30,000	10 million (expanded)	$3,000

Bottom line: You’re getting the most stem cells per dollar with adipose-derived MSCs—and they’re fresh, potent, same-day cells, not weeks-old expanded cells with reduced efficacy.

The Adipose-Derived MSC Therapy Process

1

Consultation & Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Bill Johnson, board certified cosmetic physician. We review your health history, goals, lab work, and determine if adipose-derived MSC therapy is right for you.

2

Adipose Tissue Harvesting

Minimally invasive mini-liposuction to collect fat tissue (typically from abdomen or thighs) under local anesthesia. Procedure takes 30-45 minutes. Most patients experience only mild pressure, not pain. We collect enough tissue to yield 100 million mesenchymal stem cells.

3

Cell Processing & Concentration

Your adipose tissue is processed in our on-site lab using advanced centrifugation to separate and concentrate MSCs and growth factors. This same-day processing preserves maximum cell potency—no lab expansion, no overseas shipping, no FDA violations.

4

Administration

Concentrated MSCs (100 million cells) delivered via IV infusion for systemic anti-aging effects, or targeted injection for specific areas. IV treatment takes 1-2 hours in comfortable, private setting. You’ll feel the cells working as they circulate and home to areas of inflammation or damage.

5

Regeneration & Follow-Up

MSCs begin working immediately, secreting growth factors and differentiating into new tissue. Optimal results develop over 3-6 months as cellular regeneration progresses. Follow-up treatments (typically 1-2 years later) maintain long-term benefits.

Same-Day, FDA-Compliant Procedure: Harvesting, processing, and administration completed in one visit (3-4 hours total). Walk in with aging cells, walk out with 100 million regenerative MSCs working to reverse cellular aging. Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours.

Safety, Research & FDA Compliance

  Frequently Asked Questions About MSC Therapy

  Are mesenchymal stem cells safe?

  Yes. When using your own cells (autologous MSCs), there is virtually no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. Our same-day procedure follows FDA guidelines for minimal manipulation. Complications are extremely rare (<0.1%).

  How long do MSC therapy results last?

  MSC effects develop over 3-6 months as cells integrate and regenerate tissue. Results can last 1-3+ years depending on your age, health status, and lifestyle. Many patients do maintenance treatments annually.

  Is MSC therapy painful?

  Harvesting (bone marrow aspiration or mini-liposuction) is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. Most patients describe it as pressure rather than pain. IV administration is painless like a regular IV drip.

  What’s the recovery time?

  Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. You may have mild soreness at the harvesting site for 2-3 days. No downtime from IV administration. Avoid strenuous exercise for 1 week.

  How is this different from PRP therapy?

  PRP (platelet-rich plasma) contains growth factors but no stem cells. MSC therapy provides actual regenerative cells that can differentiate into tissues AND secrete growth factors. MSCs are more powerful for systemic anti-aging.

  Am I too old for MSC therapy?

  No age limit. While younger patients have more potent cells, we successfully treat patients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond. For older patients, we may recommend umbilical cord MSCs for enhanced potency.

  Does insurance cover MSC therapy?

  Not for anti-aging or wellness applications. MSC therapy is considered elective/regenerative. We offer flexible financing and accept HSA/FSA for eligible patients.

  What conditions do you treat with MSCs?

  We specialize in anti-aging, longevity, and cellular wellness. We also treat autoimmune conditions (lupus, RA), erectile dysfunction, chronic pain, and provide aesthetic rejuvenation. Unlike orthopedic clinics, our focus is systemic regeneration.

  Why do you only use adipose-derived MSCs?

  Cell quantity. Adipose tissue yields 100 million MSCs per sample—that’s 1,000X more than bone marrow (100,000 cells) and 200X more than umbilical cord (500,000 cells). Below a certain threshold, you won’t see systemic anti-aging benefits. We use adipose because it’s the only source that provides therapeutic cell counts in a single, same-day procedure.

  Why don’t you offer bone marrow stem cells?

  Bone marrow aspiration yields only ~100,000 MSCs—far below the therapeutic threshold for systemic regeneration. Clinics using bone marrow either send cells overseas for expansion (illegal under FDA guidelines) or deliver insufficient cell counts. Adipose tissue gives us 100 million cells naturally, same-day, with no need for expansion.

  What about umbilical cord stem cells?

  Cord blood MSCs provide ~500,000 cells per dose—better than bone marrow but still 200X less than adipose. They’re also allogeneic (not your own), carry immune rejection risk, and are lab-grown (reduced potency). We don’t use cord cells because your own fresh adipose MSCs are far more effective at 100 million cells.

  Is the adipose harvesting painful?

  No. We perform mini-liposuction under local anesthesia—you’re awake and comfortable throughout. Most patients describe mild pressure, not pain. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes. Compare this to bone marrow aspiration (drilling into hip bone), and adipose is significantly less invasive and uncomfortable.

  How many MSCs do I actually need?

  For systemic anti-aging and regeneration, studies suggest a minimum of 50-100 million MSCs. Below this threshold, effects are limited or non-existent. This is why we exclusively use adipose tissue—it’s the only source that reliably provides therapeutic cell counts (100 million) in a single harvest without lab expansion.

  How much does MSC therapy cost?

  Single MSC treatment is $12,500 for most conditions (anti-aging, autoimmune, chronic pain, wellness). Spine and neck treatments are $16,000 due to specialized imaging and administration. Our comprehensive Regenerative Longevity Protocol (MSCs + NAD+ + growth factors) is $17,500. Follow-up treatments are $5,000. We offer 0% financing through PatientFi and United Medical Credit.

  Why is adipose-derived MSC therapy priced competitively?

  Despite providing 100 million cells (vs. competitors’ 100,000-500,000), our same-day procedure eliminates expensive lab expansion fees, overseas shipping, and multi-week wait times. You’re getting 1,000X more cells at comparable or lower cost than bone marrow or cord blood clinics that charge $15,000-$40,000.

  Does the $12,500 include everything?

  Yes. Your treatment includes: initial consultation, health assessment, adipose tissue harvesting (mini-liposuction), on-site cell processing, 100 million MSCs, and IV administration. No hidden fees. Follow-up consultations are complimentary. The only additional cost would be optional maintenance treatments ($5,000) recommended 1-2 years later.

  What’s included in the $17,500 Longevity Protocol?

  Our comprehensive protocol includes: 100 million adipose-derived MSCs (IV), NAD+ therapy, growth factors, peptide optimization, customized supplementation plan, and follow-up assessments. This is our most complete anti-aging treatment, addressing cellular aging from multiple pathways simultaneously.

  Can I do multiple treatments?

  Yes. While most patients see significant benefits from a single treatment lasting 1-3 years, some opt for maintenance treatments ($5,000) to sustain long-term anti-aging effects. We recommend maintenance every 1-2 years for optimal longevity benefits.

  Why was Innovations Stem Cell Center named the best in the USA?

  Life Sciences Review Magazine evaluated clinics nationwide on physician credentials, cell count/quality, safety protocols, patient outcomes, and innovation. We were recognized for our adipose-derived MSC protocol that delivers 100 million cells (vs. competitors’ 100K-500K), board certified physician care, FDA compliance, and pioneering work in anti-aging applications of stem cell therapy.

  What makes you different from other “best” stem cell clinics?

  Many clinics make marketing claims without third-party validation. Our recognition from Life Sciences Review Magazine—a respected industry publication—is based on objective evaluation by medical and scientific experts. We don’t just claim to be the best; we’ve been independently verified as such.
