please feel free to consult with us.
The effects of the injection didn't last,
and the situation wasn't improving.
Instead of continuing with hyaluronic acid injections,
why not consider regenerating knee cartilage with stem cells?
Due to age, surgery is not possible and
there are no other treatment options.
It does not require complex surgery, and
the number of visits to the clinic is kept to a minimum.

KNEE CARTILAGE REGENERATION
Do you have any of these problems?
Expected to regenerate the knee cartilage itself,
significantly reducing pain.
No need for hospitalization or knee incision Stem cell extract ingredients and stem cells are administered by injection
No need for regular hospital visits;
treatment can be completed in as few as two visits.
What are the effects of stem cells? Stem cells suppress inflammation in joints and promote repair and regeneration of cartilage, which can be expected to regenerate joint structures and reduce pain. Stem cells are also effective in repairing damaged ligaments and muscles, so top athletes overseas are receiving treatment.
The "components" secreted from stem cells have the same regenerative and repairing effects as stem cells. Its components are much smaller in size than stem cells, so it is possible to reach the details of the body and promote tissue regeneration.
Cell culture In our laboratory, we have introduced the latest equipment, and we have established a system for operating and managing cell culture, implementing strict quality control, such as managing all processes. The patient's autologous stem cells can be cultured in the hospital's laboratory.
A license is required to provide regenerative medicine In order to provide regenerative medicine, based on the Act on Ensuring the Safety of Regenerative Medicine, a specific authorized regenerative medicine committee has It must be reviewed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Our hospital is a medical institution that has been accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for a provision plan for knee joint stem cell administration.
PROLIFERATION
Stem cell culture at our hospital
Cultured stem cell therapy added to the options. Please consider this for your knee pain.
Regenerative medicine is a treatment method that uses the patient's own cells to promote the recovery of bodily functions in cases of diseases caused by damage to tissues or organs.
Stem cells, which are responsible for the development and regeneration of tissues, have the ability to generate and replenish somatic cells that decrease with age, and are being applied in the field of regenerative medicine.
At our clinic, we culture the patient's own stem cells in a state-of-the-art laboratory operating under strict hygiene control and administer them directly to the knee joint.
This is a new therapy that alleviates knee cartilage damage without the need for complicated surgery or frequent injections.
If you are suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee, please feel free to consult with us.

Q&A
FAQ
Q: Do I need to be hospitalized?
A: No, it's not necessary.
Stem cell collection will take place during your first visit, and the stem cell administration will take place during your second visit. However, a 4-week cell culture period is required between stem cell collection and administration.
Q: How painful is the treatment?
A: Skin sampling can be done under local anesthesia, so please consider it as a dentist's treatment. The skin to be collected is about 5 mm, and after a month it has become so familiar that you can't even tell where it was taken.
Q: How long does it take to take effect?
A: There are large individual differences in the effectiveness of stem cell therapy, but please consider 3 to 6 months as a guideline.
QIs stem cell therapy covered by insurance?
A: Since it is a free medical treatment, the full amount will be borne by the patient.
Q: Where are stem cells located?
A: Stem cells are present throughout the body. We think that patients have a strong resistance to collecting fat by fat absorption, so at our clinic, we use a skin punch to collect fat.
Q: Is the treatment nationally licensed?
A: Based on the Act on Ensuring the Safety of Regenerative Medicine, treatments that have been reviewed and approved by a third-party committee are accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as treatment plans.
Our group is a medical institution whose provision plan for intra-articular stem cell administration of knee joints has been accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
Q: Are medical expenses deductible?
A: If it is for medical treatment, it may be eligible for medical expense deduction. Please contact your nearest tax office for details on how to proceed. Please keep the receipt issued by our hospital in a safe place.
