Newport Beach centre offering same-day treatment with stem cells taken from a patient's own fat by liposuction, given by drip or injection.
The Newport Beach Stem Cell Treatment Center treats patients using adult stem cells taken from their own body. It is a treating facility rather than a laboratory, and procedures are carried out in an on-site surgery centre described as accredited by the Institute for Medical Quality, a division of the California Medical Association.
The procedure described is a same-day one. Fat is removed by liposuction under sedation and local anaesthetic, the fat is processed using a sterile closed-system technique to separate out the cell fraction, and the cells are then given back to the patient either into a vein by drip or by injection into a particular site. Bone marrow is mentioned on the site only as a comparison; the cells used here come from fat.
The site says the centre treats 'a wide variety of degenerative disorders' but does not list which ones, and it does not name any treating physician, referring only to 'a plastic surgeon, a pioneer in liposuction'. Both absences are significant. Before booking, ask which named doctor would perform the procedure, exactly which condition is being treated, and what published evidence supports that use.
The site claims to treat a wide variety of degenerative disorders but names none of them; ask what evidence supports use in your specific condition before paying for treatment.
No doctor is named anywhere on the site.
The centre is in Newport Beach, California, and treatment is given in an in-office surgery centre which the site says is fully accredited by the Institute for Medical Quality, a division of the California Medical Association. No street address, opening hours, founding year, languages spoken other than English, or international patient service is published.
No prices are published. Fat-derived stem cell treatment of this kind is not covered by insurance in the United States, so ask for a full written cost, including sedation, the liposuction step and any follow-up visits.
