Stem cells harvested from fat tissue

Stem cells harvested from fat tissue

Fat tissues are very rich on stem cells, especially mesenchymal stem cells. It is possible to harvest fat for stem cells with a simple procedure called lipoaspiration. It should be known that lipoaspiration is very different than liposuction. Liposuction is usually applied by a plastic surgeon in operation rooms under general anesthesia or sedation. High amount of fat is removed for cosmetic purposes in liposuction.

Stem Cell Treatment Method we have been applying

Regenerative Medicine: The method we apply

In RegenCell regenerative cellular treatment department of Çobanoğlu Clinic, it is aimed to treat the patients suffering from chronic diseases by using adult stem cells acquired from patient’s own fat tissues.

Treatments of RegenCell follow the regenerative medicine procedures developed by Cellthera and ArsArthroBiotechnology laboratory. It involves first tests and scanning, physical examination and evaluation of the candidate. These procedures can be completed in less than two hours.

Recently, bone marrow was considered to be a good source for stem cells. However, bone marrow extraction is a difficult and painful procedure for the patient. Actually, fat tissue involves more stem cells than bone marrow and it is easier and safer to harvest stem cells from this tissue.

In many cases such as heart diseases, stem cells of fat tissue are shown to be superior to the ones of bone marrow. It is a documented fact that chronic diseases suppress the bone marrow, and it may explain why the cells of fat tissue are superior.  Therefore, fat tissue is preferable as a source.

Our present technology isolates patients own fat cells and harvests stem cells by destruction of these fat cells.  Use of patient’s own fat tissue is that easy it can be done in office conditions, preparations take 1-2 hours and stem cells can be ready to use after an hour of procedure thanks to the advanced technology and tools. It is not necessary to send the cells abroad or to another laboratory and the treatment can be done in the same place
