Regenerative medicine is a groundbreaking approach in healthcare that focuses on repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and organs. This field utilizes various techniques, including the use of stem cells, to modulate the immune system, reduce or eliminate scar tissue, lower inflammation, and regenerate damaged tissues. 

In Colombia, regenerative medicine practices, particularly those involving stem cells, differ significantly from those in the USA. Colombian treatments often involve a higher count of stem cells, ranging from 100-200 million cells compared to 2 million in the USA. These cells are fresh and not cryopreserved, ensuring higher viability and effectiveness in treatments. 

Yes, regenerative therapies using stem cells are applicable to patients regardless of blood type. These treatments focus on enhancing the body’s natural healing capabilities and improving the quality of life by addressing the root causes of health issues. 

At the International Stem Cell Institute, we use stem cells derived from the umbilical cord, specifically from Wharton’s jelly. These stem cells are selected for their efficacy, safety, and minimal invasiveness

Stem cell therapy has been used to treat a range of conditions, especially autoimmune disorders like osteoarthritis, diabetes, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, among others. Orthopedic conditions and various spine-related issues are also treatable. To determine if stem cell therapy is suitable for you, please contact us at (941) 999-0767. 

Treatment durations vary: 

• IV applications: 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. 
• Orthopedic procedures: 1 to 4 hours. 
• Spine treatments: 1 to 4 hours. 

Recovery time is minimal, thanks to the non-invasive nature of the procedures. Patients often resume activities: 

• 10 minutes post-IV treatment. 
• 1 hour to 3 days for other treatments, depending on the specific procedure. 

Yes, Colombian cities, including Pereira where our treatment center is located, are reported to be as safe, if not safer, than many major cities in the USA. Pereira, known for its safety and strategic location, is a welcoming city for international visitors seeking medical treatments.

In Colombia, we adhere to stringent international and national standards, ensuring the highest quality and safety in stem cell treatments. Each batch of stem cells is rigorously tested for quality and quantity, ensuring the efficacy and safety of our therapies.
