Conditions Stem Cell Transfers Can Treat?
Viewed as the "miracle cure" of the 21st century, USCC is bringing stem cells from the laboratory to clinical patients. Adipose stem cells can be used for a growing number of medical conditions including:
- • Contour deformities breast, face or body
- • Facial aging changes
- • Volume replacement
- • Skin rejuvenation
- • Sports injuries
- • Joint degenerative disease
- • Chronic inflammation of ligaments
- • Painful spinal inflammation
- • Wound care
- • Breast augmentation without implants
- • Radiation fibrosis and radiation damage
How Do We Get Stem Cells?
At our onsite outpatient surgical center, surgeons perform liposuction to harvest fat tissue that can be isolated to obtain stem cells that can be utilized in various adipose stem cell treatments. In our state-of-the-art laboratory, the harvested fat tissue is separated to isolate the stem cells to be used for the treatment.
Depending on the condition being treated, the surgeon can then inject the stem cells back into the patient or apply the stem cells topically. The stem cell treatments can be done in one convenient location in one office visit.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost?
Stem cell treatments may be covered by insurance, although this advanced tech- nology is still considered experimental by many insurance carriers. However, USCC works with each patient to determine ben- efits prior to treatment. As one of Southern California’s leading stem cell research cen- ters, USCC is involved in clinical trials and in some cases, reduced fees may apply.
