Stem Cell Care with Exosomes

Exosomes are micro-vesicles that are involved in cell communication. This is a new frontier in Regenerative Medicine that we’re proud to offer at MP Health. These Exosomes have been recently discovered to be involved in direct cell signaling. The Exosomes are isolated from human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and are purified using proprietary processing. The unique benefit to these Exosomes is that they are Stem Cell-derived and bring a wide array of growth factors to stimulate and modulate many processes within the healing cascade. Exosomes are not cells but are micro-vesicles, which are about 1/1000th the size of a cell, and contain no nucleus or DNA. They can be regarded as the purest form of cellular therapy available, because their function is to direct tissue and wound healing by activating the patient’s own regenerative cell response. This is one of the latest generations of naturally bioactive Stem Cell-based products for patient treatment.

Stem Cells and Stem Cell Care work by paracrine signaling (local cell-to-cell communication to induce changes in nearby cells) to create the appropriate healing environment to restore tissue. The Exosomes in our product are paracrine signals isolated from stem cells that can be delivered without the need for delivering stem cells. As the technology and discovery of new methods of treating patients has evolved, the science shows that the optimal way to provide true “stem cell therapy” is to directly provide the signals as its own therapy and avoid potential issues with delivering and keeping transplanted cells alive. Stem Cells by nature work to heal, repair and restore the body. But, in some cases where there is a chronic abnormality, these cells fall into an inflammatory state, work in an unregulated capacity and inhibit healing. The 200+ growth factor proteins found to naturally occur in healthy tissue have shown to help modulate the inflammatory healing process. This is accomplished by activating and recruiting the patients’ own cells to the area, revascularizing the area and reducing the inflammatory response to allow natural healing.

How many treatments will it require?

On average, patients will see the effects and potential relief within 4 weeks of the initial injection. Many patients with pain, inflammation, degenerative diseases, or strains experience significant improvement after a single treatment. As every patient is different, it is important to refer to your provider for the appropriate treatment plan to meet your individual needs and determine if you are a candidate for Stem Cell Care and Exosomes.

What should I expect?

We will advise about their specific protocols and procedures in preparation of your treatment. Most patients resume normal daily function post-procedure, but it is recommended that strenuous exercise be avoided immediately after your procedure to allow the success of the treatment. Dr. Schneider will discuss with you the post-procedure protocol and the appropriate follow-up.
