Overview Bone marrow stem cell treatment is a regenerative treatment in which mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are harvested from bone marrow, the longest-studied source in the human body, and purified into bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) for use

Bone marrow stem cell treatment is a regenerative treatment that harvests and uses mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from bone marrow, the longest-studied source of stem cells in the human body.
When the harvested bone marrow is concentrated and purified into bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), it contains stem cells together with several components involved in regeneration. BMSCs are known to have the capacity for self-renewal and the multilineage potential to differentiate into bone, cartilage, fat, and other tissues.
RESUM Plastic Surgery does not overstate stem cell regeneration and explains both the significance and the limitations of autologous cell-based treatment.

Bone Marrow Harvesting SUTURE guide image

SutureBone Marrow Harvesting

Autologous cells are harvested from bone marrow, a source that has long been studied in the human body. Because your own bone marrow is used, the risk of rejection tends to be low, and hygiene and safety are prioritized throughout the harvesting process.

BMAC Purification HYBRID guide image

HybridBMAC Purification

When the harvested bone marrow is concentrated by centrifugation or similar methods, bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with a high density of stem cells can be obtained. It contains BMSCs together with a variety of regeneration-related components.

Use of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)

When bone marrow is harvested and concentrated by centrifugation or similar methods, bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with a high density of stem cells can be obtained. It contains BMSCs together with a variety of regeneration-related components. BMSCs are known to have multilineage differentiation potential and a long record of clinical research data, and they are used to address recovery of relatively deep tissue environments.

Autologous Cells

Autologous Cells

Autologous Cell-Based Approach

Harvesting and injection are performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, and results tend to appear gradually over 4-12 weeks as regeneration progresses. Autologous cells from your own bone marrow · Risk of rejection tends to be low · Performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation · Results appear gradually

effect

We explain the possibilities and limitations of autologous cell treatment in a balanced way.

Because autologous cells obtained from your own bone marrow are used, the risk of rejection tends to be low. Results and responses vary from person to person, so we assess them together during your clinical consultation.

POINT 04 IV Therapy

Activated Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell IV Therapy

Extraction & LED Activation

Hematopoietic stem cells, immune cells, platelets, and other components are extracted from your own bone marrow and blood, the cells are activated by irradiation with LED light of a specific wavelength, and the autologous bone marrow (blood) stem cells, with enhanced growth-promoting factors, are administered by intravenous injection.

Systemic Circulation & Tissue Regeneration

When administered intravenously, the activated cells are understood to circulate throughout the body, help damaged and aged cells regenerate, and, where needed, differentiate into other cells and take part in the regeneration of tissues such as the liver, lungs, and heart.

Angiogenesis & Recovery Capacity

The administered hematopoietic stem cells form new blood vessels, helping oxygen and nutrients to be supplied smoothly, which may contribute to enhancing the body's overall capacity for recovery.

Immunity & Slower Aging

It has been reported that immune cells such as white blood cells may raise NK cell activity, which may help improve immunity and slow aging.

POINT 03 Q&A

How Is Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy Different?

First, it uses a long-studied source.

Bone marrow is one of the longest-studied sources of stem cells in the human body, and BMSCs are known to have multilineage differentiation potential and a long record of clinical research data. They play a supportive role in addressing recovery of relatively deep tissue environments.

Second, it uses your own autologous cells.

Because autologous cells obtained from your own bone marrow are used, the risk of rejection tends to be low. However, temporary pain or bruising may occur at the harvesting site, so we explain this thoroughly during your consultation.

Third, it is not a cure-all.

Although it draws on a source with a long history of research data, it is not a cure-all for every situation. We first determine whether it suits your condition and goals, and we explain both the significance and the limitations of autologous cells.

Doctor's Note

Bone marrow is a source of stem cells backed by a long history of research data, but bone marrow stem cell treatment is not a cure-all for every situation. We first need to determine whether it suits your condition and goals. Rather than overstating the possibilities of regenerative treatment, my principle is to speak candidly about the significance and limitations of autologous cells.
