Adipose Stem Cell Therapy -Stem Cell Thailand
What is Cell Therapy in Thailand?
Stem cells are natures pharmaceuticals and are found in all multi-cell organisms on Earth. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.
Adipose Stem Cell
The two broad types of mammalian stem cells are:
- Embryonic Stem Cells that are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts. Embryonic stem cells are not present in the adult human and can only be obtained through the destruction of a human embryo. Thai Medical Vacation and its partners do not use Embryonic Stem Cells. All our treatments all use Adult Stem Cells (ASC’s) only.
-Adult Stem Cells are found in many area of the human body. These repair cells are present in your blood,dental pulp,bone marrow,placenta,amniotic fluid and umbilical cord. Adult Stem cells can be cultivated and transformed into specialized cells with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culturing,activating and expanding.
Cell Therapy in Thailand -MSC Rich Adipose Stem Cell Therapy (ASC)
MSC Enriched Adipose Stem Cell Therapy (ASC) are a somatic stem cell contained in fat tissue. Good sources of Adipose Stem Cell Therapy include belly fat, inner thighs and hip area. ASCs are cells that abundantly exist in tissue, and therefore, they are ideal as a cell source in the field of regenerative medicine.
Adipose Stem Cells vs Bone Marrow Stem Cells -Frequency
Adipose (Fat) Tissue Yields an Abundance of Adipose Stem Cell Therapy when compared to any other source, the vast amounts of adipose tissue (depots of fat for storing energy) especially in the abdominal region, by sheer volume of availability, ensure an abundance in numbers of ASCs ranging in the millions per unit volume. In addition, we harvest the ASCs from adipose tissue through a simple, minimally invasive mini-liposuction performed by a certified plastic surgeon under general anesthesia. This option of gathering stem cells is relatively easier, painless and poses minimal risk to the patient compared to all other possible gathering methods.
Adipose tissue ASCs (AT-ASCs) and stem cell Thiland are extremely similar to stem cells isolated from bone marrow (BMSCs). The similarities in profile between the two types of ASCs range from morphology to growth to transcriptional and cell surface phenotypes. Their similarity extends also to their developmental behavior both in vitro and in vivo. This has led to suggestions that adipose-derived stem cells are in fact a mesenchymal stem cell fraction present within adipose tissue.
What is the Thai Medical Vacation Autologous Adipose Stem Cell Therapy?
The TMV approved Adipose Stem Cell Therapy & Stem Cell Thailand treatment is typically a 2-4 hour outpatient procedure performed under general or local anestesia and involves the following:
- Harvest: Using a proprietary but simple procedure similar to tumescent liposuction, 100cc of adipose tissue is harvested from the patient.
In some cases, an additional 300cc of adipose tissue is harvested for up to THREE follow-up treatments. See item number 9 below on stem cell banking. - Breakdown: The adipose tissue is then broken down using a combination of Collagenase Type 1 Solution, and a proprietary Cell Preparation Medium.
- Separate: Using standard techniques, the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) which contains Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) is separated from the fat cells.
- Isolate: ASCs and other progenitor cells are then isolated from the SVF using standard techniques.
- Wash: The cells are then triple-washed with saline to remove any traces of the collagenase and cell preparation medium.
- Activate: The isolated ASCs are then suspended in the person’s own platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) growth factors and activated with a proprietary laser. This ‘awakens’ or activates the dormant ASCs.
- Label: The stem cells Thailand are incorporated with a radionuclide label prior to administration to help track stem cells by conventional gamma and SPECT scans.
- Infuse: The cells are then administered back to the patient through one or more of the following modes of administration: (TMV guarantees a minimum of 2-3 theraputic level Infusions per treatment)
- Intravenous: The ASCs are administered through a standard intravenous drip
- Fat Transfer: The ASCs are mixed with the fat filler-biomaterial mix before reintroduction, and
- Topical: The ASCs are administered directly into a localized area different from their tissue of origin.
- Cryogenic Stem Cell Banking: Banking of Stem Cells is imperative for some serious degenerative conditions that require repeat administration. This is done under EU GMP protocol. This procedure is available exclusively to Thai Medical Vacation clients. We offer stem cell banking via dental pulp stem cells or adipose stem cell.

The Major Advantages of Cell Therapy in Thailand & Thai Medical vacation’s MSC Enriched Adipose Stem Cell Therapy are:
- Our partners technologies allow us to provide one treatment and procedure on the same day, and then expand and manipulate those cells to give disease-specific stem cells in larger numbers on the 3rd day.
- High Yield: A high-dose of cells can be obtained in just a couple of hours.
- Stem Cell Thailand Mesenchymal Stem cell yields from peripheral fat are much higher than from bone marrow.
- Patients receive their own autologous cells, so there is a very low risk of immune rejection.
- Minimally invasive outpatient procedure, Significantly easier and painless when compared to harvesting from Bone Marrow derived stem cells and much more comfortable for Stem Cell Thailand patients.
Seperating Your Fat & Stem Cells
Is the Adipose Stem Cell Therapy procedure a significant improvement on other treatments currently available?
Yes – We can now obtain ASCs from a fat sample (similar to a mini-liposuction ). The in-clinic Stem Cell Thailand treatment is a faster process provides increased stem cell counts and better results with very little discomfort, down time and virtually no side effects
Cell Therapy in Thailand - Is an Autologous Adipose Stem Cell Thailand Procedure Safe?
Yes… because the adipose tissue is removed from one’s own body via autologous and sterile means, and in a controlled environment, there are no problems with cell rejection or disease transmission. The interview, physical, harvesting, and administering of stem cells are all performed in-house under a physician’s control.
Cell Therapy in Thailand - How much does Stem Cell Thailand treatment cost?
Discussing treatment options with your physician is an important first step in making a decision regarding stem cell therapy. Potential outcomes and results, time commitment to the treatment plan, and financial costs are all factors to consider. Our approved Autologous (Adipose Tissue-Fat Derived) MSC Enriched Stem Cell treatments start at 7.000 Euro. The actual price will depending on what treatment is needed. 100% Financing is also available for some patients in USA, Canada and Australia.
Why Choose an Adipose Stem Cell Procedure?
Compared to harvesting from bone marrow, Adipose tissue is easier to get in larger volumes if needed, is less painful, and involves lower risks whilst yielding many more mesenchymal stem cells compared to bone marrow.
There is a much shorter time from extraction to the administered treatment using safe in-house procedures.
We culture and manipulate the stem cells so that we provide the exact stem cells you need for your condition and in large quantities always aiming for at least 50 million + cells— with harvests and culturing sometimes reaching as high as 1/2 billion stem cells!
Embryonic stem cells that can only be obtained by destroying a human embryo. This poses ethical and religious issues. However, there are no ethical issues with the use of Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) because these cells can be obtained from adult human tissue; for example from liposuctioned adipose tissue (fat).
Cell Therapy in Thailand - Are There Detrimental Side Effects from an Adipose Stem Cell Thailand Procedure?
No, the adipose tissue is extracted from the patient’s own body; no ‘foreign’ donors. Our procedure is performed completely in-house, and administered by licensed physicians. Therefore, there are no deleterious side effects. Although, please keep in mind that every procedure does have its risks.
What You Can Expect When Visiting the TMV approved Stem Cell Thailand Regeneration center?
- Consultation: Each patient receives a consultation lasting up to 1 1/2 hours prior to the treatment: History, Medications, Patient desires and Expected outcomes are discussed.
- Harvest: Using a tumescent anesthetic, adipose tissue is collected from the patient via Liposuction.
- PRP: Is isolated from the patient’s own blood with Cell Therapy in Thailand
- Stem Cells: Our clinic staff will isolate the MSC Adult Stem Cells ASCs and other progenitor cells in a sterile environment from the collected fat sample, ensuring that no contamination occurs. As there is a difference between aspetic and sterile technique, it is extremely important to note that sterility means that the cells are not exposed to air particles and contaminants.
- Prepare: If the doctor wishes, she/he will offer antioxidant and nutritional IV’s prior to infusion to prepare the patient for the therapy.
- Expansion: The physician will use a variety of growth factors and substances to increase the total number of cells
- Manipulation: Combined with Expansion, this is essential in order to deliver the stem cells that are exactly what the condition or disease requires.
- Infuse: 1 or 2 Infusions over 3 days: The cells are administered back to the patient through one or more of the following modes of administration:
- Intravenous: The Stem Cells are administered via an intravenous push
- Localized: The Stem Cells are administered directly into a localized area
- Intramuscular: The Stem Cells are implanted into the muscle.
- Intranasal: This therapy relies on direct transmission through the cribiform plate, bypassing the BBB, along the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways.
- Intrathecal: Directly into the Spinal Canal CSF
- Via catheter: Catheter is run directly to the site for administration: Heart, Kidney, Brain, and the stem cells are released at that site.
Differences Between An Adipose Stem Cell Therapy And Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells Procedure:
- Much Less painful than a bone marrow transplant
- Significantly More Mesenchymal Stem Cells per unit volume can be harvested from Adipose Tissue as opposed to Bone Marrow
- Bone marrow derived stem cells comprise mainly of Hematopoietic (from Ancient Greek: αἷμα, “blood”; ποιεῖν “to make).
- Adipose Fat contains mainly Mesenchymal Stem Cells that are able to differentiate into many type of vital cells such as bones,tissues,blood vessels,heart,neural cells,organs and muscle.
Cell Therapy in Thailand - Which is the best source to harvest Adipose Stem Cells from the human body?
The best source to harvest ASCs from one’s body is the adipose tissue. Below is a comparison of three sources:
Bone marrow – About 50,000 ASCs can be harvested at any one time. These mostly become blood cells.
Peripheral blood – About 10,000 ASCs can be harvested at any one time. 50% of which will become blood cells and 50% will become tissue cells.
Adipose tissue (Fat) – About 10 to 50 million stem cells can be harvested at any one time, 5% of which will become blood cells and 95% will become tissue cells.
Cell Therapy in Thailand - Why is Adipose tissue the best source for harvesting Adipose Stem Cell Therapy ASCs?
The sheer number of ASCs that can be harvested at any one time from fat makes this the best source of ASCs in the human body. This number of ASCs harvested from fat also has the added advantage of not needing to be cultured in a laboratory over days in order to get the desired number of ASCs to achieve what is called “therapeutic threshold” i.e. therapeutic benefit. In addition, harvesting ASCs from adipose tissue is relatively easier, painless and poses minimal risk to the patient.
