Why preparation comes first

Stem cells need somewhere to land

Stem cells aren’t free-⁠floating repair crews. When the lymphatic system is congested and the tissue is inflamed, cells arrive in an environment that can’t receive them properly. So we clear the ground before we plant anything: three days of testing and preparation, then the cells.

Every Santa Maria patient completes the preparation. It is built into how we work, not an optional extra.

We don’t offer other payment plans. The booking terms are sent to you in writing before any deposit.
You never pay for cells you do not receive.
This is rare, because our team reviews your case in the free consultation. But if your Friday labs show stem cells are not right for you, the doctor explains your results in person and you choose:
An alternative regenerative therapy
if the doctor recommends one, at about the same total cost
The 3-day preparation without cells
$2,950 in total: the Saturday payment is simply not charged
About stem cells

Mesenchymal stem cells: what to know

What they are
Adult regulatory cells found in bone marrow, fat and the umbilical cord. In the body they help tissues repair and keep the immune system in balance. Ours come from umbilical cord tissue donated with consent after healthy births. They are not embryonic cells.
Why umbilical cord
Highly active cells
No donor matching needed
A painless, ethical source
COFEPRIS-⁠authorized laboratory
Safety
A review of 55 randomized trials (EClinicalMedicine, 2020) found a favorable safety profile for IV mesenchymal stem cells; the most common reaction was a short fever. In Mexico, stem cell therapy is regulated by COFEPRIS.
Where research is looking: degenerative joint and spine conditions · autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions · metabolic health · age-⁠related decline in vitality. For most conditions, use is still being studied. Whether stem cells are right for you is decided in the free consultation and after your labs.
