Regenesis Stem Cell Therapy Procedures

Getting started with Regenesis Stem Cell Center is as easy as calling us or completing our contact us form on this page! You will want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lee so he can review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and review any available medical imaging. Based on this information, Dr. Lee will determine if you are a good candidate for stem cell therapy.

Your Initial Appointment

Your initial appointment typically lasts about one hour for an in-depth and thorough review of all the necessary information. If labs or new imaging are needed, we will order these at this appointment.

Your Pre-Operative Appointment

If you are determined to be a good candidate for stem cell therapy, the next step is the pre-operative appointment. At this appointment, we will review all pre-operative and post-operative instructions, write your prescriptions, and review your labs and imaging. Additionally, you will need to place a non-refundable deposit to reserve your selected procedure day. We will also address all your questions and concerns at this appointment.

Your Stem Cell Therapy Procedure

On the day of the procedure, we will instruct you to eat a light breakfast before coming to the office. Once you have arrived, we will administer oral sedatives and ensure that you are comfortable in the procedure room. During the bone marrow aspiration, your comfort is of primary importance both during and after the procedure. Many of our patients completely relax or even sleep during the procedures. After the aspiration of your stem cells, the lab technician will begin processing your bone marrow and plasma. This processing typically takes 2-3 hours, during which you will be able to relax comfortably and have a visitor present if you wish. Once your stem cells have been concentrated, we will prepare you for injection. We will numb your injection point for comfort and use high-resolution ultrasound to guide the injection and ensure precise placement. The injection process's length depends on the locations and number of injections we have to perform, but typically, it lasts only 20-30 minutes. After your injections, you will be escorted by wheelchair to your vehicle and released to go home and resume regular daily activity. There is no downtime, no inability to use your joint or limb, and no long rehabilitation stay.

Your Follow-Up Process

Regenesis has an extensive follow-up process for our stem cell patients, including numerous phone consultations, occasional physical therapy consults, post-operative appointments in the office, and follow-up imaging, labs, or even tests in some instances. For our out-of-town patients, the majority of our follow-up process will be completed over the telephone.

Finding Our Clinic

Regenesis is located just 15 minutes from Huntsville International Airport and our staff can assist in any lodging questions you may have. Ideally, any out-of-town patients would be available the day prior to their stem cell procedure for examinations and a personal meeting with Dr. Lee.
