We will begin your cell therapy by extracting viable cells from your adipose fat tissue or bone marrow aspiration. Dr. LaGrasso and his team of highly trained medical staff will assist in completing this treatment that will take about three hours. We will perform a mini-liposuction treatment to remove about 120cc units of fat while you are under a local anesthetic. Then, we will separate the fat from the harvested cells in a centrifuge. Once isolated, these cells can be injected back into your body where needed.

If liposuction is not a possible avenue for you to acquire your autologous cells, we can also perform a bone marrow aspiration under a local anesthetic to retrieve the cells. This will remove about 60cc units of bone marrow. Then, the process is the same. The bone marrow will be inserted into a centrifuge to separate the marrow from the harvested cells. It is then ready to be injected back into your body.

Keep in mind that you will not feel immediate relief from pain with regenerative cell injections. However, this can impact the rate at which your body heals or repairs itself from inflammation and/or traumatic injury.

We hope to make your experience as comfortable as possible. You may be sore for a few days after your regenerative therapy. However, you should be able to resume activities as normal without limitations. If you experience side effects or think you may have an infection at the injection site, please call our office immediately for assistance. 

Most patients are advised to rest the treated area for several days after regenerative cell injections to allow the healing process to begin. Light activity, such as walking or gentle stretching, is often permitted within a few days, but higher-impact exercise should wait until your provider gives approval. Depending on the treatment site and your body’s response, this may take one to two weeks. Following your personalized recovery plan helps protect your results and supports optimal tissue repair.

Every patient reacts to regenerative therapy differently. Keep in mind that it will not be an immediate relief of pain. You may also be additionally sore for several days after the treatment just from the procedure itself as well.

Yes. We use the patient's own cells in this treatment. This reduces the potential side effects of the therapy. Since we use your viable cells, you will have minimal risks but may still have some irritation from the injection site and/or risk a possible infection at the site of treatment. We can discuss all the benefits and risks of this treatment at your consultative appointment.

The number of regenerative cell treatments you need will depend on your pain levels and overall health. Some people see noticeable results after just one session, while others might need a few more to get the full benefits. We'll work with you to figure out the best plan during your consultation.

Results from regenerative cell therapy can last a long time — often for a year or longer. The aim is to heal and regenerate tissue, so as your body repairs itself, you'll likely notice improvements that grow over time and have a lasting impact.

Yes, regenerative cell injections are considered safe when performed by an experienced provider. Because the cells are derived from your own body or carefully screened donor sources, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is very low. The treatment is minimally invasive and designed to support natural healing, though mild soreness or swelling at the injection site is common.
