A long-established Barcelona plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic with a regenerative medicine unit offering cell therapy from the patient's own fat.
Clinica Planas is a private plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic in the Sarria-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona. The site says the clinic was founded in the early 1970s, making it one of the longer-established private clinics of its kind in Spain, and it publishes a full street address and telephone number.
Within the clinic there is a regenerative medicine unit, and it is this unit rather than the clinic as a whole that is relevant to this directory. The unit's page describes bioregenerative cells and cell therapy, and specifically the harvesting of nanofat and of the vascular stromal fraction. The vascular stromal fraction is the mixed cell population left after fat tissue is broken down, and it contains, among other things, adipose-derived stem cells. This is an autologous approach, meaning the material comes from the patient's own body.
Alongside the cell work, the unit offers growth factors and bioactive molecules, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, therapeutic plasma exchange and ozone therapy. The clinic's blog also discusses exosome therapy, exosomes being small particles released by cells. Readers should know that hyperbaric oxygen and ozone therapy have limited evidence outside specific licensed indications, and that grouping them with cell therapy does not make them equivalent.
The site names Dr Miguel Garber as director of the regenerative medicine unit and describes him as having 22 years of experience in the research and development of cell therapies. The purposes described run from joint and muscle pain, chronic inflammation and ageing to hair loss, sexual and genitourinary complaints, facial rejuvenation and sports medicine. No prices are published on the pages read.
The regenerative medicine unit lists the following.
The site describes cell therapy using material taken from the patient's own body, principally nanofat and the vascular stromal fraction obtained from fat tissue, alongside growth factors and bioactive molecules.
The site names the director of the regenerative medicine unit.
The clinic occupies its own premises at Carrer de Pere II de Montcada 16 in the Sarria-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona, and combines a surgical plastic surgery practice with aesthetic medicine and a separate regenerative medicine unit. The site says the clinic dates from the early 1970s. The pages read do not name an accrediting body for the regenerative medicine work or describe where cell preparation is carried out.
The site does not publish prices for regenerative or cell treatments on the pages read. Prospective patients are asked to arrange a consultation.
