Three-site Chicago medical spa and Cell Surgical Network member using fat-derived stromal vascular fraction, mainly for cosmetic and hair treatments.

Medical Disclaimer: This profile is compiled for informational purposes only and is not medical advice, a clinical endorsement, or a statement that any treatment is proven or approved. Stem cell therapies vary widely in regulatory status and evidence. Consult a qualified physician before pursuing treatment.

Overview

Old Town Med Spa is a medical spa group with three Chicago locations. Its core business is cosmetic and aesthetic treatment, and its cell-based service sits within that context rather than being an orthopaedic or general medical practice. It treats patients directly.

The procedure it describes uses the patient's own fat. Fat is removed under local anaesthetic in a small liposuction-style procedure, then processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction, usually shortened to SVF, which is the mixed cell population left after the fat is broken down. That preparation is then injected into the target area. This is the approach used across the Cell Surgical Network, and the clinic states it is a member of that network and that it works under protocols approved by an institutional review board, with patient tracking for up to five years.

The uses listed are mostly aesthetic - facial rejuvenation, skin tightening, body contouring, microneedling and hair restoration - with joint and soft tissue treatment also mentioned. Readers should be aware that in the United States the regulatory status of stromal vascular fraction has been contested, and that treatment being carried out under a research protocol is not the same as it being an approved therapy. No prices are published.
