A regenerative medicine clinic in Minato-ku, Tokyo, offering stem cell therapy cultured from the patient's own cells and stem cell supernatant treatment.
Star Clinic is a regenerative medicine clinic on the eleventh floor of the Bark Shibaura building at 3-26-1 Kaigan in Minato-ku, Tokyo. The site gives a full address and telephone number and states that the clinic was established in 2014.
According to the site, the clinic's central treatment is stem cell therapy using cells taken from the patient and cultured, which it markets under the trade name STARCELL. It also offers a growth factor regeneration treatment using the supernatant left after culturing stem cells, and a high-dose vitamin C infusion. The site has separate pages for treatment cost and for aesthetic uses of stem cells.
The site states that the clinic is registered with Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare with a regenerative medicine provision plan number under the country's regenerative medicine law. Under that law a clinic must notify and have approved a plan for each regenerative treatment it provides, so this is a checkable statement, although the directory has not independently confirmed the number with the ministry.
The conditions the site lists include age-related disorders, degenerative joint disease, sports injuries, menopausal symptoms, liver problems, diabetes, prevention of hardening of the arteries, autoimmune conditions, and a range of aesthetic uses such as wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin and hair loss. These are the conditions the site says it treats; that is not evidence the treatments work, and most of these uses are not established therapies. The site does not name the doctors who provide the treatment on the pages read, which is a gap worth raising with the clinic.
