regenerative therapies
While scientific research continues to explore the potential of regenerative medicine, these therapies are not FDA-approved to treat any diseases or medical conditions and remain classified as experimental.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy may support tissue repair, encourage regeneration, and improve overall health, addressing conditions related to pain, aging, and hair loss.
PRP Therapy
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body’s own platelets to promote healing, support tissue regeneration, and assist in recovery from injury or chronic conditions.
Exosome Therapy
Exosome therapy uses tiny particles derived from stem cells, rich in healing properties. When injected into the treatment area, exosomes may help accelerate repair and reduce inflammation.
Common questions
Are regenerative therapies safe?
Stem cell therapies are generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals using approved protocols. However, as with any treatment, results may vary, and it’s important to understand that stem cells, exosomes, and other biological tissue products are not FDA-approved for all conditions.
Is regenerative medicine covered by insurance?
While regenerative treatments are not typically covered by insurance, Extension Health offers flexible payment options to make these therapies more accessible.
What are the benefits of regenerative medicine over surgery?
Unlike surgery, regenerative medicine therapies are minimally invasive, often involve shorter recovery times, and may carry fewer risks. These treatments focus on stimulating the body’s natural healing processes to promote recovery and holistic health improvements.
What are the potential side effects?
Regenerative therapies may cause side effects such as localized pain around the injection site, swelling, redness, and scalp tightness. Serious adverse reactions are rare but can occur, particularly in patients with underlying conditions.
Are regenerative treatments FDA-approved?
Regenerative treatments, including stem cell therapy, PRP, and exosome therapy, are not FDA-approved for the treatment of specific medical conditions. While these therapies show promise and are backed by growing scientific research, they are considered experimental and may be used under certain conditions as part of clinical care.
Who is a good candidate for regenerative treatments?
Good candidates are individuals experiencing early to moderate hair loss. Age, genetics, and the type of hair loss will affect the success of treatments. During your consultation, our team will assess your hair health to determine the best approach for your situation.
When will I start to feel the results?
Some people do not respond to regenerative therapy. Results and timelines can vary from person to person, as each individual's response to regenerative treatments is unique. While some may start to feel improvements within weeks, others may take longer. The speed and extent of results depend on factors like the specific procedure, the treatment area, and your body's healing response. It's important to have realistic expectations, and your regenerative medicine specialist will provide guidance based on your individual situation.
