Stem Cell Therapy / Treatment in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Pakistan
Stem cell treatment in Pakistan or stem cell therapy in Pakistan is relatively new concept. But the same concept has been around especially in the wound healing scientific research community for the past 10-20 years in some way shape or form. Stem cell therapy is based on the principle that there are the "mother cells" also called as progenitor cells or stem cells in the body that have the unique capacity to produce any organ of the body under unique circumstances. So stem cells are unique cells in the body and have the capacity to produce any organ of the body if the find the correct signal to make that particular organ. It sounds pretty amazing. isn't it? But unfortunately, we as scientists and doctors have not been able to fully unlock this potential of stem cells. so while it sounds fabulous to be able to regenerate any defective organ of the body using these stem cells, the science about stem cells is still in it's infancy. yet there are many uses which are in practice, albeit less than perfect. Let's talk about potential uses of stem cells in different skin diseases and beauty enhancement in particular but overall in the field of medicine in general.
So first of all let's talk about how to get these stem cells from one's own body?
Although Best stem cell treatment in Lahore Pakistan is based on the stem cells taken from your own fat, that can be taken out from an area that has more fat than you like - like abdomen, buttocks or thighs, various other sources do exist to take the stem cells from. One option is to take them from umbilical cord , but it has it's own ethical ramifications, and is thus not discussed in further detail. The other limitation is it's scarcity and unavailability. On the other hand stem cell's richest source is the fat or adipose tissue of one's own body.
has become very popular recently, PRP gained popularity in the cosmetic dermatologic community by the fact that if platelets can do wonders in damaged and wounded skin, then they may prove to be a good source of growth factors in the normal skin to enhance the rejuvenation by stimulating the production of fresh collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that are the essential components of the deeper layer of the skin.
In stem cell therapy in Lahore, we will take a small amount of fat from an area where you want the fat removed permanently, from your abdomen or thighs in the exact same way you get the liposuction done, except that the purpose here is to separate the stem cells from the fat, it's richest source in the body containing steam cells. We will then process this small amount of fat using specialized equipment to separate the stem cells from other components of your fat including adipocytes (fat cells) and will concentrate the amount of stem cells. This is the most sophisticated and expensive part of the whole procedure of obtaining the stem cells. A special enzyme called as "collagenase 4" is used to separate the stem cells from the fat cells. We use the highest quality of collagenase made by Worthington in the USA. This collagenase is not from the animal source and is produced in the lab, making it extraordinarily safe as it does not have any germ that the patient may unfortunately get. Once stem cells are separated from an abundance of fat cells, they are ready to be injected where needed. For example if the stem cells are obtained to reduce the pain in the knees due to osteoarthritis (weakening or loss of cartilage from the rubbing surfaces of the knee, for example. This collection of stem cells without any other cells will be injected into the area where you want it, for example in the knee joint by our orthopedic surgeon. We can use these stem cells for rejuvenation on the face, or in the dark eye circles or even on the balding scalp to prevent hair loss and regrow hair in certain types of hair loss.

Stem Cell Therapy for Hair Loss Treatment in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad & Pakistan
Stem Cell therapy has been extensively marketed as the "best treatment" or "miracle cure" for hair loss in Pakistan. But be careful, stem cell therapy can not reverse all kinds of hair loss as falsely claimed on many websites and publicity in newspapers. Only a well qualified skin specialist (Dermatologist) can assess the type of hair loss you may be suffering from and then can guide you about the best possible treatment option and stem cell therapy is one of them. Stem cell therapy cost or stem cell hair treatment cost in Pakistan depends upon the method which is used to prepare the stem cells, qualifications of the stem cell specialists and the quality of the facility where the procedure is performed. We routinely use very special kits which are made in the United States for the quality purposes. If these high quality kits are used, the stem cell treatment usually costs between PKR 150,000 to 300,000 rupees. Most clinics in Pakistan generally do not use the stem cell double digestion technique (as it becomes very expensive) and opt to employ the 'single digestion' technique. This "double digestion technique" to get stem cells from the fat can produce almost 1 million stem cells per ml of the existing fat taken out through liposuction. On the other hand "single digestion technique" produces very low quality stem cells but costs significantly less to produce and thus can be done at a cheaper price between PKR 100,000 to 150,000. Please remember that such stem cell therapy may not be as effective and you may end up losing your money on such an ineffective treatment.
