Stem Cells are cells located in our body which have not yet been programmed to determine what type of cells they will become, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, etc. Stem Cells are essentially our natural reservoir of cells which we use to repair, and regenerate injured or degenerated tissue in our body.

Stem Cells are our body’s own repair mechanism. They continuously help us heal from injuries. The injured tissue transmits signals to attract surrounding Stem Cells and growth factors and heal the tissue. However, some conditions such as severe degeneration or certain injuries overwhelm this process. In this case, additional stem cells are needed.

As we age, our body continues to maintain large numbers of Stem Cells. However, it becomes more difficult to transfer the Stem Cells from our storage areas to where we need them, due to diminished circulation, reduced oxygen, and other diseases that increase with age.

Stem Cells can be harvested from our own Stem Cell storage areas and safely transferred to where we need them. The most abundant areas of Stem Cells in our body are in our bone marrow and fat.

Yes, unless our physicians determine you have a specific medical condition, such as a specific type of cancer or infection, then it is safe to transfer Stem Cells. New Stem Cells will form in the area where they were originally harvested from.

Once Stem Cells are transferred, certain cells and chemicals in our body will guide them to where they are needed. Areas of our body which are inflamed and injured, will receive most of the stem cells. Once the Stem Cells arrive at the correct location, our body’s natural chemicals will signal them, and determine which type of cell they will become.

Yes. One type of Stem Cell, called “hematopoietic stem cells”, are primarily present and high in concentration in the bone marrow. Another type, called “mesenchymal stem cells” or “medicinal signaling cells” are abundantly found in our body fat.  We sometimes combine both types of Stem Cells to give you the maximum chance for repair and regeneration.

Stem Cells taken from one part of your body and placed into a different part have not been shown to cause cancer.

No, we never use embryonic Stem Cells – only those harvested from your own body.

The cost of PRP and Stem Cell Treatments is determined based on the specific treatment required to address your medical condition. This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the most effective solution tailored to their unique needs. A consultation is necessary to assess your condition, which includes a comprehensive evaluation for a fee of $250. Following the consultation, the treatment plan and associated costs will be discussed in detail to provide clarity and transparency.

While formal financing instruments are not yet implemented, we do offer payment plans for our patients, for certain treatments and procedures to accommodate individual needs.

Patients may utilize their own personal Health Savings Account (HSA) towards the cost of their treatments. Currently, insurance companies do not cover regenerative procedures, as these treatments are not considered included in most coverage plans. However, patients may independently contact their insurance providers to inquire about potential reimbursement options. Please note that Florida Regen does not directly collaborate with insurance companies for regenerative therapies and cannot assist in this process.
