Medical treatment flow

Step 1

Schedule an Appointment

Visits to our clinic are by appointment only. Please contact us by phone or email if you would like to make an appointment for a visit or receive online counseling.

Step 2

Initial consultation with a specialist/counselor

Please complete the medical questionnaire and we will explain the treatment options (autologous adipose-derived stem cell therapy, PRP treatment, etc.) tailored to your pain symptoms.

If you have any images of your joint disease, please bring them with you. If you do not have images, we may ask you to have them taken at an affiliated medical institution.

Step 3

Suggesting the optimal treatment

We will check your health status based on images and recent data and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you.

We will provide a detailed explanation of treatment details, estimated treatment period, fees, and other information.

Step 4

Start of treatment

In the case of stem cell treatment, you will undergo a blood test, small cell collection, and a test for infections necessary for the treatment. Blood samples necessary for cell culture are collected at the same time as the blood tests. Local anesthesia will be used for fat sampling, so you will hardly feel any pain.

For autologous adipose-derived stem cell therapy:

1. A sample of fat approximately 2 rice grains in size fat is collected.
2. Cells are transported to a cell processing facility in Japan. The cells are cultured for approximately 40 days.
3. Cultured stem cells are administered using a drip or syringe depending on the site to be treated.

Note: The date of cell administration is determined in advance and cannot be changed. Please be sure to visit the hospital on the designated date.

For PRP therapy:

1. 10 cc to 20 cc of blood is collected.
2. Plasma components are extracted with special equipment. The process takes about 20 minutes. Note: No cell culture is performed.
3. 1 cc to 3 cc of plasma component is administered to the treated site with a syringe.

Note: This treatment, from blood collection to administration, can be completed on the same day at the earliest.

Step 5

Follow-up after treatment

We will inform you of the post-treatment precautions.

Under regenerative medicine using autologous adipose-derived stem cell treatment and PRP treatment, not all pain disappears immediately, but there is normally a gradual recovery over several months.

However, if you have any concerns after your treatment, please contact us.
