Why Lisoom

Overview RESUM Stem Cell Treatment Is Safe
Approaching the Root of Aging with Plastic Regenerative Medicine

Human cells are lost or altered through aging and injury. If damaged and altered cells can be replaced with new ones, it helps in maintaining a healthy and youthful state.

Stem cells are cells with the potential to form the cells of various tissues. They are being studied and applied as a field of regenerative medicine that approaches the root cause of aging by regenerating and replenishing lost or altered tissues and cells.

RESUM uses a validated cell extraction system and, under a fully sterile system,
maximizes cell viability and the preservation of cell components to provide high-quality live stem cell treatments.

Bone MarrowAutologous Bone Marrow Stem Cells

Hematopoietic stem cells, immune cells, and platelets are extracted from your own bone marrow and blood, activated with LED light of a specific wavelength, and then administered intravenously. They circulate throughout the body and help the regeneration of aging and damaged cells.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled the questions patients ask most often before a consultation.

Stem cells are cells with the potential to differentiate into various cell types, and they are used to regenerate and replenish tissues and cells that have been lost or altered. They are being studied and applied as a field of regenerative medicine in which the cells are isolated and concentrated, or cultured, and then administered intravenously, into the skin, or by other routes.
One approach is to spray autologous stem cells, PRP, or similar preparations into the nasal cavity so that they pass the blood-brain barrier (BBB). It is being studied and applied in areas related to dementia prevention and memory through improved cerebral blood flow.
PRP is a concentrate of growth factors extracted from blood that helps tissue regeneration and the easing of inflammation. SVF is a mixture of cells, including stem cells, extracted from fat; it has broader regenerative potential, and its extraction process is more complex. The two are sometimes used together.
Because your own cells are used, the likelihood of an immune reaction tends to be low, but pain or irritation at the injection site may occur. As with all treatments, responses vary from person to person, so we evaluate your condition thoroughly during your consultation.
Responses vary from person to person, and results may differ depending on your condition, its severity, and the method used. It is hard to regard it as a cure-all, and during your consultation we explain both what is possible and its limitations.
In many cases a response is seen in about 1 week on average, some people notice changes at around 1-2 months, and more time may be needed depending on your condition.
We recommend avoiding excessive activity and resting for 48 hours, and it is advisable to refrain from alcohol and smoking for about 2 weeks. Light, plain meals are recommended on the day before and the day of the treatment.
