STEM CELL TREATMENT OVERVIEW
BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) harnesses the body’s innate healing capabilities through a minimally invasive procedure. Derived from bone marrow, which houses two main types – red and yellow – BMAC primarily utilizes the regenerative potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) found in yellow marrow. These MSCs are versatile, capable of differentiating into various cell types crucial for tissue repair, such as chondrocytes, osteoblasts, tenocytes, fibroblasts, and connective tissues.
Unlike other sources of stem cells like adipose tissue, BMAC-derived MSCs possess a notable capacity for bone and cartilage formation. Moreover, they exhibit tissue-specific differentiation abilities, although this can vary among donors.
When applied to an injury site, BMAC initiates a cascade of healing responses. BMSCs secrete specialized substances tailored to the injured tissue, which modulate inflammation, stimulate self-repair, and enhance regeneration. This process not only alleviates immediate pain but also offers long-term relief by promoting anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activities.

LIPOGEMS STEM CELL
Stem cell therapy represents a promising paradigm shift in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, offering the potential for tissue regeneration.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
After the procedure, we highly recommend that you remain in the clinic for at least 30 minutes for observation and to ensure there are no immediate complications. Following this observation period, we typically advise refraining from engaging in strenuous physical activities for several days to allow your body to recover optimally. It’s essential to prioritize hydration by drinking plenty of water to help flush out any toxins and aid in the healing process. If you experience any discomfort or pain, Paracetamol can be safely used for pain management as needed.
How long will the benefits last from stem cell after the procedure
The duration of benefits from stem cell therapy for knee-related issues can vary significantly from person to person and depends on various factors, including the individual’s overall health, the severity of the knee condition, the specific type of stem cell therapy used, and how well the body responds to the treatment.
Some individuals may experience relief from knee pain and improvement in function shortly after the procedure, while for others, it may take several weeks or even months to notice significant improvements. In some cases, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
Research on the long-term effectiveness of stem cell therapy for knee conditions is still ongoing, and the exact duration of benefits remains uncertain. However, many studies suggest that the benefits of stem cell therapy can last for several months to several years in some cases.
It’s essential to discuss your expectations and concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing stem cell therapy for knee issues to understand the potential benefits and limitations of the treatment and to develop realistic expectations regarding the duration of benefits. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and proper knee care, can help prolong the benefits of stem cell therapy and support overall knee health.
YOUR SIMPLE 4 STEP JOURNEY
Step 1. Free Intial consultation
London Bridge gives every patient a free consultation with one of our injecting practitioners.
There is no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss your issue in detail and the benefits and risks of the procedure.
LIPOGEMS harnesses the potency of your own natural fat to facilitate healing. By utilizing your body’s fat reserves, LIPOGEMS offers cushioning and reinforcement to damaged or injured tissue, thereby fostering an optimal environment for healing and supporting your recovery process naturally..
STEP 2. MEET YOUR PRACTITIONER
We will allow time to find out more about the procedure, understand the advantages and potential problems with the procedure, and to give time for you to ask questions
We will then take your medical history, examine which may include diagnostic ultrasound then proceed with the guided injection.
STEP 3. PREPARATION FOR THE INJECTION
You’ll be given individual pre-injection advice to reduce your chance of bleeding or infection and support your recovery and aid healing
It’s important to let your practitioner know if you’re on any prescription or over-the-counter medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bruising. It’s also important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes before and after the procedure because they can disrupt the healing process.
Local anesthetic will be administered, and every attempt will be made to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
STEP 4: RECOVERY AFTER STEM CELL INJECTIONS
Following the procedure, most individuals can return home and resume their normal activities. Our clinical team will be available to offer water and provide guidance on post-injection care.
For the next twenty-four hours, it’s advisable to refrain from strenuous activities and alcohol consumption. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t notice immediate effects; it typically takes around five days for the injection to take effect, with the full results becoming evident over the course of several weeks.
A follow-up appointment or phone consultation will be scheduled for four weeks after the procedure to review and refine the results. Nonetheless, our team is always accessible should you have any questions or concerns.
